Top 10 Most Powerful Armies In the World

The Top Ten
1 United States The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the British Empire in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. They won their independence in 1783 with... read more

1. ) Military budget. US's military budget is HUGE. It is the most in the world. Allowing the US to buy all the guns, ammo, armor, etc. It needs to do just about anything. Seriously, in comparison to the rest of the world, USA's military budget is bigger than the next 9 countries with the largest military budgets.

2. ) Better battle doctrine. Centuries of war involving different scenarios and WINNING them has given the US extensive knowledge on the art of shooting people. The US invented the SNIPER. So every country out there with snipers... Yeah took it from the US. We all know how important snipers are at providing support.

3. ) The US has superior technology. This comes from the big budget. The US has droves of high-tech Abrams tanks. Then droves of soldiers. Then droves of medical supplies for wounded. Then droves of hot-blooded teenagers that would probably like to shoot some baddies. (INSERT: if we threw the school shooters into the army the US would win any war. Why? Well, fearless soldiers help. ) Satellite + GPS allows for better field communications.

4. ) Diversity of armaments. Once again, this comes from the big budget. The army has its own "personal" air force. These fighter jets do not use runways... They levitate and fly. THEY LEVITATE! A good example of this is the F-35 or the F-22. Seriously, the F-22 flew under a Pakistani jet plane and looked at the Pakistani jet's weapons load out, then flew next to it and told the pilot to go home... And the Pakistani pilot never even realize that a F-22 was flying under it. While this doesn't necessarily reflect the army's abilities, the fact that the ARMY has jets, ships, infantry, and armored vehicles at its disposal means that fighting the US Army is equivalent to fighting a complete military.

5. ) Manpower. The US has the second or third largest army. China has more manpower (obviously). In a battle of attrition, the US will win because we have more trained soldiers. Non-trained... more

2 Russia

The U.S. aren't very powerful, as they invade country who are not even a challenge and widthraw

We are the only country who's got breavest people, a massive ground force, modern technology, super powerful navy, strong Air Force, ability to fight in mountains, deserts.. Also if urgent then neuclier, super missiles, modern tanks and fighting jets
Only thing is we never attack or wrong do to any country first but if any country start first... We can finish it and could take over small countries in only couple of hours.. Come on bring it on

India has better trained forces then China, has better technology then China and Russia because of friendship with Japan. India has the 5TH highest GDP but still, Pakistan is just fake. Like, Kashmir was from India because of British India. So Pakistani guys Shut Up And Die.

India has defeated Pakistan 4 times, india took revenge of 1962 war in 1967 by killing more than 400 Chinese soldiers..very soon India will become the strongest country of this planet

4 China

Overpopulation means more army personell, more workers and such. China is meant to be nearly the top.

China army is very helpful for Pakistan and his friends country.

China army is the best in world and has great technology in world.

5 Pakistan

You see why Pakistan is the best army in the world? United state of America and all over the NATO forces were fighting in Afghanistan but they did not defeated even Taliban and went back...all over the world knows that Pakistan beat Taliban in zarb-e-azb recently and draw them to Afghanistan...this is the real power that Pakistan army has showed that's why we proud on Pak army...that's why Pakistan is better than any army in the world...

YES. I hear a LOT of good things about the Pakistan army. If only all the negative investment in media and peoples perceptions in the west were directed to the Pakistan army instead. Why talk of terrorism and not mention how the army actually eradicated it?

Pakistan is one of the world's best countries and has the strongest army. And in future they will shine bright. Every country goes through ups and downs, for now Pakistan is down but this will get over and Pakistan will shine bright. InshAllah.

Normally the most powerful country should be China, but it's still USA because of it's military involvement in the world and it's worldwide influence. France is the European equivalent of USA. Even if everything changes quickly for the moment France must be at least 4th.
