Global Firepower's 2023 Military Strength Ranking ranks 145 nations' militaries, weighing a host of different factors like the volume of sophistication of its equipment, its finances, geography, and resources.
The ranking considers factors including the amount of military equipment and troops each country has, as well as their financial standing, geography, and available resources, information which may be imperfect.
Notably, the ranking only evaluates militaries from a conventional standpoint, overlooking a country's capacity for nuclear strike.

WNU Editor: The Global Firepower Index is here (link here).
How can Britain be 5th? It doesn't have enough troops for a field Army. It cannot field a single division, it has only 18 frigates & destroyers & about 6 SSNs. I wouldn't be surprised if the RAF have taken Sopwith Camels & SE5s out of Hendon & Duxford air museums & started flying them. Britain is an absolute joke. It couldn't fight it's way out of a wet paper bag. It would be interesting if China would give military aid to Argentina in the shape of combat ships, amphib & support ships & aircraft. Britain would never be able to retake the Falklands.
ReplyDeleteStop spewing shit great Britain is solid it can ram a nuclear missile up anyone's ass thats power worthy of top 5 ranking next……. the argies would get slapped straight back to the main land even if it was supplied by china a couple of astute class would decimate any surface ships and supply routes

ReplyDeletevery true
Yes, but England is only hiring non-white pilots now. So there is that.
ReplyDeleteUSA is a total "House of Cards" militarily. One punch through and they will surrender like the 106th Infantry Division did at Saint Vith at the start of the Battle of the Bulge.
ReplyDeleteMorale is low, equipment is junk, and we've definitely been infiltrated in our ranks by Chinese, Muslim sleeper terrorists, and traitors. Look at the 2 "chink" sailors arrested on the west coast selling secrets to China. Same with our major police departments.
New York Police Department is a cesspool of unvetted foreigners (57%) lead by the corrupt 13% ready to turn against us.
We have no Patton, No Bradley, No Middleton, No Hap Arnold, No Nimitz and No Halsey. not even a Montgomery. We have Miley, Berger, and some Navy female 4 star leading us to war.
Our Pacific surrender will make Bataan look like a parking lot high school football scrimmage game. We'll make the old ABDACOM in the Dutch East Indies in '42 look like look like a competent combat team.
