There’s been much discussion and debate about our original article about the Top 10 Armies in the World. First written in 2010, we’ve been updating it ever since.
Nearly every country in the world has its own army to protect its interests against internal and external enemies. Most countries like to boast of their military prowess, often claiming to be one of the strongest in the world. Not all can actually back that claim with data and numbers
In an effort to quantify the rankings of the top military forces in the world, we analyzed data on over sixty countries. We based this on the most recent data available at GlobalFirepower. This includes the size of defense budget, number of active military members, tanks and armored vehicles, aircraft and helicopters, and number of naval craft.
Additionally, we considered nuclear capability and recent operations, the latter meaning that the army actually has live combat experience.
We then assigned a weight to each of these components, and finally calculated an overall score for each country. In most places, this differs from the country’s GlobalFirepower rank.
After the calculations were completed, the top ten armies in the world became easily visible as the most powerful militaries in the world.
Most of these armies were involved in the major conflicts of the modern world. Notably, these include World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Additionally, many were involved in conflicts fighting for their own country’s independence.
The Turkish Army dates back more than 2,000 years, though the modern day military branches were founded in 1920. With a force of over 730 and a budget of close to $19 billion, it is solidly in the top ten military powers in the world.
It ranks fourth on the list for tanks and armored vehicles, estimated at just over 11,000. Ground forces are additionally supported by an outsize artillery. Out of the nations on this list, Turkey is currently the only without nuclear capability.
With very few exceptions, military service is required of all male citizens after the age of twenty, contributing to the large force and reserve size. After the U.S. and ahead of France, it is the second largest ground force in NATO.
The Turkish Army was involved in the Korean War, recurrent internal Kurdish conflicts, the division of Cyprus, and recently Syria. Its largest conflict to date, however, was the Turkish Independence War. In this confrontation, it fought Russia, Britain, Greece, France and Italy along its borders. It was one of the few larger powers to remain neutral until almost the end of World War II.
The British Armed Forces were organized in 1661 and have been involved in various conflicts including the Napoleonic Wars, Revolutionary War and both world wars. In fact, only 22 countries in the world were never invaded by British forces.
The British Army has had a significant presence in Northern Ireland and the Balkans. It stood beside the United States in the Gulf War in the 1990s. The army is a powerful force in the ongoing Global War on Terrorism after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The active duty force of the British military is over 190,000 strong, making it the second largest army in the European Union behind France. The U.K. has a defense budget of over $51 billion annually. Of the top ten military powers, it has the smallest number of active duty members but the fourth-largest budget, behind only the U.S., China, and India.
There are three branches of service. These are the Royal Navy, the British Army proper and the Royal Air Force, also known as RAF.
With nearly 750 aircraft and helicopters and around 5,500 tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, it is a viable force and an unwavering ally of the United States.
The Pakistan Armed Forces were founded in 1947, and comprises three service branches. It succeeded the former British Indian Army after the country gained independence the same year.
Pakistan’s military history includes recurrent conflicts with its bordering neighbors of Afghanistan and India, the Gulf War and Mogadishu, Somalia in the early 90s.
The country is part of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC). As such, it has been active against ISIL and other terrorist groups. Pakistan has also served as an ally to the United States in the Global War on Terrorism. It assisted in the fight against both Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and along its borders.
At the same time, the army maintains close ties with the Chinese military.
This volunteer army consists of an active duty force of over 650,000 personnel. Additional reserve forces are another 550,000 strong. Together, they make the Pakistan Armed Forces into one of the largest armies in the world.
Pakistan’s defense budget is around $11.5 billion. This may be the smallest budget of the top ten military powers, but still far exceeds the defense budget of most other countries around the world.
While on par with U.K. for naval craft, Pakistan boasts several hundred more aircraft and helicopters, over 9,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and a much larger amount of artillery pieces.
Israel maintains a conscript army. It is the only country in the world that requires military service from both male and female citizens with few exceptions.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were founded in 1948, but trace their roots to several paramilitary organizations active against the British while they held Palestine. Today, the IDF maintains an active duty force of over 170,000. In comparison, its reserves are enormous, evaluated at around 450,000.
Its fleet is fairly small, but the IDF can field considerable airpower and over 13,000 tanks and armored vehicles.
The Israeli military history includes the Arab-Israel War, the Six-Day War and numerous conflicts with Lebanon, the annexed Palestine, and frequent operations against Iran. As a whole, it is one of the most battle-tested armies of the world.
The United States remains one of Israel’s largest and closest allies, giving the IDF preferential access to new military technology. Israel’s defense budget clocks in at fully $20 billion.
Since its struggles during the World Wars, France does no longer enjoy the reputation of a military superpower. These perceptions aside, the numbers tell a different story.
France has a military of over 360,000 strong across the army, navy, air and space force and paramilitary branches. This makes it the largest army in the European Union by numbers. It is unique in letting foreign nationals serve in its forces – in the notorious and elite Foreign Legion. Unusually, the country’s police also form part of the French Armed Forces.
Compared to its one-time hereditary rival, the British Armed Forces, it commands more craft across almost all categories. The exception are some naval classes and artillery pieces. Its budget, however, is smaller than the U.K.’s, at $41 billion.
The North Korean People’s Army was established in 1939 and has an impressive size of more than 1,250,000 soldiers. When reserve unit numbers are added to this, estimates are more than seven million soldiers could be activated if needed. This makes the North Korean forces potentially the largest in the world.
Major conflicts in North Korea’s history are the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Tensions between North and South Korea still exist today. Technically, the conflict is a frozen one – it never officially ended between the two.
Its defense budget, at $1.6 billion, is nominally small. Much of its economy, however, is prepared for military use along a total war doctrine. Additionally, North Korea is a relatively close, though erratic, ally of China.
North Korea has confirmed its nuclear and chemical weapons capability in recent years with threats against various countries. This especially includes the United States, mainly for its alliance with South Korea. Over the last decade, it has also emerged as a cyber-war force to be reckoned with.
The Indian Army’s roots go back, with only minor interruptions, to the Stone Age. Today, it is the largest all-volunteer ground force in the world with nearly 1.5 million active duty soldiers. Reserves make up a force an additional 2 million strong.
India has never had to institute a draft to staff its ground force. The Indian Army – overlapping with the British Indian Army – was active in both world wars. Subsequently, the Indian Armed Forces fought in conflicts for the country’s own independence. Border skirmishes with Pakistan are common in its history.
The Indian military consists of three branches as well as several paramilitary units, and operates on a budget of more than $61 billion. While its aircraft and helicopter as well as tank and armored vehicle numbers rank it solidly in the middle of the list, it has a relatively small naval fleet. India also has more than eighty nuclear warheads in its possession.
Russia has undergone numerous changes throughout its military history. This history dates back all the way to 863. The modern day army – the Russian Ground Force – arose in 1992, following on the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Previous Russian military organizations, including the Red Army, saw combat in regional conflicts, both World Wars and numerous Cold War operations. Before the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was one of two superpowers in the world. By this point, it had surpassed the United States both in terms of the number of soldiers and nuclear weapons.
The Russian Ground Force draws its soldiers through a military draft. In principle, all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 33 serve for a period of 12 months. There are, however, many reasons for exception and deferral, and bribery is common.
Russia currently has over 1.2 million active duty military members and 2 million in reserves. It operates under a comparatively slim budget of more than $48 billion dollars. In terms of finances, only India, China and the U.S. are bigger spenders. Though its air force and ground capabilities are larger than China’s, the latter has been gaining rapidly, and China possesses a larger navy.
Russia also has the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world – nearly 8,000. This stock, though, is aging, and not all of it is combat-ready.
The People’s Liberation Army of China is the largest military in the world in absolute numbers. It numbers nearly 2.2 million soldiers, with a reserve over 500,000 strong. After significant cuts in forces a decade ago, numbers are again increasing.
The Chinese Army arose in 1927. It was active in the Sino-Japanese conflict, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam wars.
While technically service is a necessity for all men over the age of 18, China has never had to draft soldiers. There have always been more than enough Chinese men who have volunteered for military service to their country.
It has the second largest defense budget, at nearly $240 billion – a full $100 billion more than a decade ago. This corresponds roughly to the combined budget of all previous countries on this list. It also houses nuclear weapons, with estimates putting the number at around 350.
The United States military’s history dates back to 1775, where it arose out of rebel forces fighting the Revolutionary War. With over 1.4 million on active duty, it now has the third largest active duty force ranking behind China and India.
However, the defense budget is what really sets the U.S. apart from all other countries on the list. With a budget of over $750 billion, it exceeds all other military budgets on this list combined by nearly $250 billion, and China’s by over $500 billion.
The U.S. Army and its special forces have participated in every major world war, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, and leads the Global War on Terrorism.
The modern day Army is an all-volunteer force, though drafts have been used for long periods. It maintains numerous permanent posts throughout the United States as well as Germany, Italy, Kosovo, Japan, Korea, and other countries.
Ranking only behind Russia in the total number of warheads, the U.S. has the largest number of active warheads in the world.
The U.S. also has the largest number of aircraft and helicopters by far with just under 14,000. It’s still comfortably ahead of China in the number of tanks and armored vehicles. Its air dominance also shows in its fleet, which is smaller than China’s, but features numerous aircraft carriers and supporting craft.

Vietnamm war, Korean war, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Whatever is a threat to US monopoly is a threat to world peace and should be put down at any cost - nonsense. Even US citizens are imprisoned in their own country with no respect to individual privacy. What right US has got to snoop into the private data of people living in other countries. Crazy Barack Osama generation pervert .

stop being a d*ckhead ... "its me who is TERRORIST not the people afghanistan" .. thats what an american soldier told the media in a conference on his return to US ..
The real problem here is 'ANY1 between US and OIL is a TERRORIST' ..
4000 thats it do you have any idea how much did US soldiers kill in Iraq alone next come Afghanistan and Pakistan how many little children do they kill daily , and who the world told you to poke your nose in others business if bush had not intervened where he didn't belong no buddy would have died in the US and now if you cry about 9 11 you never had proof and you never will that who actually all you guys are good at making up stories and a human with common sense would tell you that is was an inside job or you have the crappy internal security in the world all your Governemt is dooing is looting oil out of arab states that it and dooing it in the name of so called war on terror the day you get the fu*k out of iraq afghanistan pakistan and other countries things will be better for you dumb americans who are slaves ! to so called US gov ! all you see how many did you loose in couple of incidents which was drama done by your country go and see how many people in these countires lose daily so offcourse you will see things like 9 11 often
Lol! Then why are you financing Al-Nusra(front of Al-qaeda ) in Syria. Hypocrate American loosers.
You.are.awesome
Exactly. USA has to just shut the hell up and mind its own business.
God you so dumb, where's the nearest bridge so I can jump off of it, I don't wanna live in a world with a liberal who thinks they know everything about the us govern mint and thinks they've 'figured' it all out...
United States can end the rivalry???? Tell that to the Korea's, or better yet..... VIETNAM! The United States army may be expensive, but its crap. Yes, the soldiers seemed trained to us, but we are lazy fat Americans (I'm Canada, pretty much same thing), but these soldiers would be destroyed vs soldiers of India or Pakistan. They fight everyday in situations where they or their families could die. Soldiers here, well, we fight in places where our family might loose oil or something. The United States is the most hyped up army, and probably the only one on this list with more losses than wins in wars. We won the gulf war...... that's pretty much it. Destroyed in Vietnam and beat in Korea. If it wasn't for the Soviets we would have lost World War 2. Just pathetic.
If it was not for us all of europe would have been German territory today we are the most experience military force in the world and capable so dont underestamate the will of the free people in the U.S.A we have reached victory and we will comtinue to until the last of mankind
Adrian, America is self centered. America didn't beat the Germans, Soviet Russia did. Don't make America the center of history. Who conquered Berlin? Soviet Russia. Don't ever say that "if not for America" b.s. America didn't lose WWII, but they sure as hell didn't single handedly defeat the entire Third Reich. Americas beef was with Japan. THAT is who they defeated. Thank you Nukes. The point is... America has never one a war by itself. its not the strongest... it just has an "infinite budget". Most spending, and trillions of dollars in debt. There is not a single war America won single handedly. and there never will be one.
American have the best army in the world and there is nothing anybody or any country can do about that.................
Well I do not see how Americans are free when you know that almost everything you do is being snooped by your government. Loosers.
Jeremy!
You are a bit right but, as an American, you don't know about the history of subcontinent.
We, Muslims, ruled over here 1000 years! But the same happened with us what had happened with the USA. Cruel British arrived and took control of our lands. They were clever and keen who perished the fraternity and brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims.
And the consequences later got worst. Both became each other's rivalry and just because of enmity
leaders arose from both sides. Hindus betrayed us by contacting British and showed their real faces against us. Every type of difference was highlighted whether religious or cultural. Languages were also different.
By these the new hindu generation thought muslims as their foes and immediately after assuming a little power in 1937-1939, started tyranny against innocents muslims. They why in every manner they tried to violate us. so India and Pakistan were formed. India, hindu state and Pakistan, muslim's nation. Both are each other's enemy from centuries who cannot integrate.
And as long as terrorism is concerned, it is the result of many inventions which have been used negatively which further rooted this enmity.
Hello abbas,
Please remind you and all other again that INDIA is not a HINDU country. we have no official religion. every one can follow their own religion. yes there are some hindu extremists. but we learned to live together. Pakistan formed only in 1947, so we are not enemies from centuries....
And Muslims ruled some places/most areas in sub continent but not for 1000 years.. ok!!! know your history first. may areas in South were ruled by Hindu kings only until British came.
Moguls allowed British to settle down and allowed them to have personal army.....
And Hindus didn't turned towards British.... frankly I don't understand what you are trying to say...
your words are like history book lessons in Pakistan schools, which says whole sub continent was Pakistan and Pakistan won all the wars against India.... silly...
first know your history and speak..
i dnt knw what history you are reading son but go to a library and read history ! i mean the real one and see that how muhammad bin qasim and many greats ruled the subcontinent as there was no india ! b4 and you indians didnt turn towards british lol now come on you were the biggest kiss asses to them, you kissing their butt holes was the reasons of PAKISTAN creation. and hell dnt you dare say kashmir is yours POK is an army camp well the world knows clearly what do you indians do in kashmir very well and belive this you will never have it and let me tell you facts about your army higest rate of suicides and please just google it you will get a gazillion liknks higest rate of rapes commited qoute THE Times INDIA you will find a video on youtube where women got naked infront of your army head quaters and protested naked i am sure you might have seen it wife swaping in the navy again reported by multiple indian news channel and your nuclear arsenal lol its a joke in it self again reported by india tv that india is doubtfull that all the missiles they made will they work as you failed alot of times and alot more please go and reserch about your self your country has 50 people below poverty line !!! and rest cnt afford food more than one meal a day reported by the times india ! these are some of the facts please reserch about them to know the ugly truth and let me just say you remeber 7 /11 those were few ppl who you claimed to be pakistani fucked up your country for 3 days PS they were not they ** but lets just say there imagine 6 semi trained made you special forces dance for three dance what if 100 professionals enterd india let me get you the phrase INDIA history ! this is just a reply to you stupid comments

https://www.facebook.com/World.Best.Spy.Agency/likes join dis and know the truth dear american brother who knows nothing
thousands have died in Iraq,Afghanistan,Vietnam......America is involved in almost every war conflict
Lol! this is the last thing we want to hear from U.S.A . You guys talk about terrorism but I want to know who is financing Al-Nusra (front of Al-qaeda) in Syria. U.S.A defeated in Afghanistan created chaos in Iraq, daily bomb blasts in Iraq after Americans occupied and left . Palestine has been obliterated from face of earth, problems in Egypt,Tunisia and other African countries, who is responsible ? America .Stop your hypocrisy .The easier you think to solve problems in subcontinent are not that easy. Cowards
Lol Indians and Pakis fighting over who's tougher. Both of your countries
Suck but the Pakis harbor terrorists. So they suck worse. And your food sucks. I assume Paki food tastes like Indian food.
if u dont like the dont eat it u just stick to ur hot dogs
nice one
LOL...Brian,do no more but get ur head out of ur ar$e!
Hey Brian, do you drink Pepsi?
If the answer is yes, the CEO of Pepsi Co is an Indian. The CEO of Hotmail is also an Indian.Let me also tell you that the English, Dutch, Portuguese, and the french came to the Indian sub-continent to do business as their countries were to poor.India is famous for its spices, cotton etc. India was also earlier known as the golden bird( because of the amount of wealth) and if you'll see max no. of gods were born in India. And by the way India even today is doing good business when Europe and N. America are facing recession and unemployment high. So, now we can see which country sucks and which does not. The Indians and the Pakistanis are not fighting to see who's tougher, it is actually Pakistan which is doing the offensive and India is just
protecting itself. I can say that because my dad is in The Indian Army, ranking as a colonel.
i support u aryan......u us.....fit for ntng ji......if u hav gutts....y didn t ur army dare to challenge us.....y s ur presdnt peeing in his pant fr tat.......the truth is...u american morons cant even live without we indians....u knw wat unity in diversity is.....v in india ...hindu muslims christians etc....live together as broz and love our country togethr as citizens.....but u uncivilized fuc**rs fite for bi***es....
My friend Aryan!
You are saying that India is protecting its territory. So why don't you people leave Kashmir, which belongs rightfully to us.
Kashmir contains much of its population as muslims. Tell me! Which country is formed on the name of One God, One peaceful religion? Obviously Pakistan, not India.
Don't you know how much is there tyranny on the lands under your control against muslims in Srinagar? Don't you know how those innocents feel about you negatively?
There is just a need of referendum in Kashmir. Then you would see what people there would say and vote. If you say Kashmir is your because in your views Its King, Hari Singh voted for India so why don't you give us territory of Hyderabad Deccan. Its Nawab voted for Pakistan. Why you from years have its control.
PEPSI is actually an abbreviation which means Pay Each Penny To Save Israel...........Israel which is cruel with muslim palestinians. Mostly at a time when Subcontinent, not India known as Golden Birds the big land owners were muslims....................
Now you understand...................Think first before writing. :P
The Ruler of Kashmir made his call during independence to join India and 80% of Kashmiris are happy with India.. PoK or what we call as Ajaad Kashmir is under Pakistan nd i have personaly seen it as nothing more than pakistan base camp nd people just surviving
beside... Indo pak war is more of a political matter !!
hello abbas again ... me....
>>>You are saying that India is protecting its territory. So why don’t you people leave Kashmir, which belongs rightfully to us.
Ans: Kashmir is a part of India... People are living better there than the people in POK(Pak occupied Kashmir). If most of the people are muslims , the it won't belong to Pakistan you silly paaki...
>>>>Mostly at a time when Subcontinent, not India known as Golden Birds the big land owners were muslims
Abbas did you know all the muslims came to india to rob it like other western people????
like I said before know your history first....
and again Muslim religion is the youngest religion compared to Hindus, Jews and Christians... so just shut your mouth you fool
ASIANS SHOULD UNITE TOGETHER....WHY ARE INDIA AND PAKISTAN FIGHTING???JUST FOR A STATE WHICH HAS NOTHING BUT MOUNTAINS
you fu*k do you even know that the terrorists are against pak and do you even know that from where terrorists come from. they come from india. and our food is ranked the best in the world. plus our army is actually rated no 2 in the recent survey
I hate India. India is a loser armed forces. I love Pakistan because I am Pakistani, And Pakistani Food is very delicious and spicy.

Doesn't Mahmood know that we snatched Bangladesh from them :p
Ya we know what happened in !965 India occupied Lahore(capital of punjab). Your president went running to pakistan' aliies U.S. and U.K. both repudiated to interfere . Then India' ally Soviet Union(former Russsia) organised armistice. Well you must be knowing about Tashkent conference. Read it if you don't have tell me i will give you that. loosers

he wants to say that "im using google translate"
maybe India and Pak should consider investing in indoor plumbing instead of bombs and bullets. Those places are the sewer. Were is Mexico lol,,,,
mexico..i think he is kidding me
Why is that there is no other country men arguing over thier countries dominance. Is India and Pakistan the only 2 countries in the world.
Please understand the figures are statistical. Real world scenarios are different like politicians being involved, strategic position, not using the entire might, etc, etc.
In todays world might of a nation is decided by the PPP of a nation and not armed forces.
EG. North Korea pretty mighty nation for its size but people there dont have bare minimum supplies.
there are many other countries, why only Indian Pakistani are talking about there country..
that what shows a middle class peoples are there in India and Pakistani, You need to grow up guys
pak and india will live in peace once they sort kashmir out
