Three Belgian squadrons also flew French-built Sopwiths, and surplus French Sopwiths were used by several countries postwar. During the war, several {{frac|1|1|2}} Strutters that were interned after landing in the Netherlands were purchased for the Dutch {{lang|nl|Luchvaart Afdeeling}}. Over 100 {{frac|1|1|2}} Strutters were also built in Russia by [[Dux Factory|Duks]] and [[Lebed aircraft|Lebedev]],<ref name="Jarrett database p60">Jarrett 2009, p. 60.</ref> supplemented by large numbers delivered directly from Britain and France. The {{frac|1|1|2}} Strutter remained in large scale use by both the Soviet forces and [[White movement|White Russians]] during the [[Russian Civil War]] and [[Polish-Soviet war]].<ref name="Jarrett database p66">Jarrett 2009, p. 66.</ref> Three were captured during this war and used by the Poles in 1919–1920.<ref name=kopanski>Kopański 2001, pp. 73–78.</ref> Other captured ones were used by Baltic states.

The American Expeditionary Force purchased 384 two-seat Strutter observation aircraft and 130 single-seat bombers from France in 1917–18.<ref name="Swan military p560">Swanborough and Bowers 1963, p. 560.</ref>  While mainly used for training, they were used operationally by the [[90th Fighter Squadron|90th Aero Squadron]] as an interim measure, due to a shortage of later types.<ref name="Bruce II p590">Bruce 5 October 1956, p. 590.</ref> The [[U.S. Navy]] used a number of the two-seat Sopwiths, along with [[Nieuport 28]]s and [[Hanriot HD.1]]s and [[Hanriot HD.2|2s]] as ships' aircraft in the early postwar years, testing the use of aircraft from platforms mounted on the turrets of battleships. The {{frac|1|1|2}} Strutter also served with the [[Imperial Japanese Army Air Force]] – some examples serving in the Japanese expeditionary force in Siberia during 1918. Around 1,500 {{frac|1|1|2}} Strutters were built for the Royal Flying Corps and the [[Royal Naval Air Service]] and between 4,200 and 4,500 were built in [[France]].
