10 Strongest Nations!

Where's Russia?

India is actually a relatively poor country with so many people,its hard to support them all with that little land,roughly 1/3 the size of the US.Besides,Hindu is 80% of India's religion,meaning that religion is more strongly intervened in people's lives than India's government,at least what sources say,I guess we need a real Indian to tell us that.

China should be second,its military is becoming vast and strong,and economically,its getting stronger despite communism,but the Soviet Union was communist and still it became a world power.The UK,I think is more stronger than Germany,but equal to France.Japan,though not militarilly strong,is economically strong.

no Russia, no India, no Arabic

netherland, sweden, norway, canada, real uncomfortable.

I understand no Indian and no arabic(thats a given), i bet even Israel is "stronger" than Norway or Sweden.

Canada? if it's about Bacon and Beer, then maybe 


Even Palestine is stronger than Sweden/Norway military wise!

That pic desperatly needs an explanation test, as it isn't entirely clear what exactly its ranking. 'Power' can be just about anything.

Even Palestine is stronger than Sweden/Norway military wise!

IIRC, Sweden has just shy of 300 MBTs (one of the best varients of the Leopard II, no less), 800+ infantry figting vehicles, 1300 APCs, a small profesional army in peace time with a conscript army that can be mobilised when the need arises. An airforce composed of what will eventualy number 180 JAS Gripens (not including another 2 dozen or so trainers), and they still have 200 or so of the older Viggens, plus everything else. Oh, and one of the most advanced conventional navies in the world, including the new stealth corvettes. Indeed, for a country of its size (populationwise), Sweden can pack quite a punch, though apparently not big enough a punch for the likes of Styrbiorn.

What does Palestine have again? A police force and some comparitivly poorly equipt militants?

Originally posted by Cywr though apparently not big enough a punch for the likes of Styrbiorn.

That's because the numbers you posted will be halved or more in five years if the government gets what it want. But I guess it's for the better, the Russians aren't exactly threatening nowadays.

What exactly will they be cutting in half? I think if anything, they'll just let the old stuff go and keep a more stream lined new force, so the 200 old viggens go with the 180 Grippens to replace them, and so on.

Oh, that bad.

Originally posted by Oguzoglu I think this map isnt very clear or doesnt show the truth. I dont think Canada, Sweden nor Norway would be included in such a list�based on�military power ranks. So as Great Britain. And where is Russia, where is Israel (to mje, the most powerful one), where is Iran and where is Turkey if this is based on militarical power? Also India is too powerful and developing too fast.

That map is definitely not about military power. If you follow the link there's another map covering that.
