Best Ground Force Armies In the World

The best ground forces. I picked them only because of their training and equipment. Note that they are just ground forces not spec ops units and we won't no who's the best unless the people on my list go to war. If you are going to vote only pick the ones you really think are the best and not because they're from your homeland. Thank you.
The Top Ten
1 Pakistan Army

Pakistan Army is the best army in the world. They are the best fighters. It has defeated the Indian Amy in 1965 and India have to go to the united nation after 17 days of war to help them to stop the war. In 1971 India won the war because of the rebellion in East Pakistan and with the help of the rebels and with the help of Russia and other countries who wanted to break Pakistan through a conspiracy. Having a big army do not count but the real thing is fighting with spirit, for a cause. In the near future, if there is a war between India and Pakistan, the world will witness how the Pakistani's will create a new history of the world.

Pakistan Army is in fact the bravest. It has survived war against major countries who were fighting together, against this nation. Many other countries might have been destroyed. It is ready to do anything to protect its nation. Even if it means giving up all of their lives. They have saved most of their people from many drone attacks carried out by a particular country. And most recently they tried to save the children involved in the Peshawar School Attack by risking their lives. They were informed a bit late at the Pak-Afghan border and remained unsuccessful. Even though, it was an act of true bravery, that they went in the school and tried to save as many children as they could from the Taliban, even though they knew they were too late.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm a Pakistani. I'm saying that because I genuinely believe it.

2 Indian Army

The Indian Army ranks amongst the top 3 armies in the world, behind only China and the USA. India has a number of regiments, each braver than, if not equal to another regiment. Any war that Pakistan has fought with India, has only resulted in India's victory, thanks to its brave troops. India has one of the most powerful armoury in the world and more than advanced technology than even its civilians. Indian army can easily take down its dear neighbour Pakistan in a face off. India has brains and India's got brawns. Soon, India might as well leave behind its neighbours to become the most powerful army in the world.

One of the only two modern armies that have fought in all theatres of war (ie. , desert, plains, mountains, highlands, trench warfare, artillery warfare, tank warfare and insurgency and counter insurgency in full fledged war post WWII. Also one of the only two nuclear powers who engaged in a war. The other is Pakistan. But obviously India emerged victorious against Pakistan in 2 out of four wars and the other two ending in stale mate. And also the one of the most experienced in combating the terrorists in the most rugged terrains of the world..

3 People's Liberation Army

Don't know why Pakistan is on first spot? Do they just look for their country's name and vote without thinking? Even a child can say China has best ground Military at present. Most of US power come from its Naval and Air force wing whereas China derives it power from PLA.

But my fellow Chinese bros beware, we Indians will soon catch u and give a tough competition.
Love from India

I support the lashkar of khurasan which is fighting against USA for freedom. but that doesnot mean that I am also supporting the same one that is involved in the series of bombings on global scale (Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, etc. )
Al Qaeda and lashkar e khurasan are two different groups fighting for two different causes

Pakistan and China will have the power to control Asia in the future. As they are great allies

4 Korean People's Army Ground Force

Though I don't support North Korea, you have to admit they have an insane army. Mainly their nearly 6 million paramilitary that would crush or at least put up a good fight for anyone who wants a fight. Overall their are people better like the USA but for ground forces, they are extremely strong. But seriously they need to crack down their budget and buy some food for their people.

Korean People's Army is strongest army.

I don't think so

5 United States Army

Just because the other armies are big and kill doesn't mean anything, it's who you kill. American soldiers are professionals, war fighting is life. Much like the Spartans, they don't farm, they don't work the mills, they train, for large scale combat on many fronts. American solders have been feared and respected in every conflict. Any nation in peril begs for American relief. And we ALWAYS oblige. Without political restraint America could decimate any foe without nuclear weapons in hours. America can project her might anywhere anytime in a way none can match combined. We try to use it to help those who can't help themselves.

If America is the super power so why Americans army can't defeat taliban in Afghanistan from last 17th years America is still in war. What happened in somalia in 1994 when black hawk down or groups of soldiers were stuck which is rescue by Pakistani force if America is super power so why after 17 years war America can't defeat Vietnam or lose the battle. If America is power so why 911 happened in 2001 America have CIA FBI is the security agencies were sleeped when terrorists planned.

6 Russian Ground Forces

Contrary to what the main media tells us, Russia never actually lost in Afghanistan. They were there 10 years, lost 25,000 men, while killing 325,000 Iraqi combatants. Loosing 1 man to 13 is not a bad ratio. They had all the roads and cities occupied within the first week. Of course not the mountains. They sucked out a lot of resources, that they don't tell you about., then left. The U.S. marines tried to take Fallujah in Iraq for a month from a rag tag group of rebels, and couldn't do it, had to use chemical weapons to triumph. Yeah, my vote is for the Russians any day. They are a super tough bunch of sons of you know what.

These men are lacking in initiative but fight hard when in control. When casualties mount they suffer morale loss quickly and tend to flee. Oddly, the US soldier who comes from a "softer" society holds up better under fire.

Russian army is the best, because it has the best jets, tanks, most powerful nuclear warheads that can wipe hole world, and soldiers that no other country's soldiers wanna mess with them. Russia also always supports other countries, and in Afganistan they backed out, and they really didn't lose a lots of people.

7 Republic of Korea Army

One of the best armies in the world as they are constantly on the alert and face imminent threat from the North Korea.

8 Turkish Army

The Turkish land forces are one of the best in the world, they know how to respect peace and religion and obey international law. The army is often overlooked however is built to last and sustain conflicts within or without its borders such as like in Korea. The army is professional and experienced and often participates in peace keeping efforts and eliminates threats internationaly.

Turkey's itself is an army not just soldiers. Every citizen of Turkey borned and raised to be brothers and sisters when a threat comes out. We grew like warriors. Every Turkish have a faith to their blood. If you want to invade this country you must destroy every living in that country. Our army is our people not just our soldiers.

Everyone in turkey is a soldier.
When the ottoman empire was invaded inworld war two, old men and teenagers between the ages 14 and 20 fought against the invading force.

9 Islamic Republic of Iran Army

They are brave because they are fighting for their country not for money or their government as it always was in a past few hundred years.

First, peace on you... I'm an Iranian and don't like Islam and this government, but I willing to die for my country if any war happens against us.

I am Afghan and I say that Iran should be in top 5 because they are brave and they stand for there religion. I am Shia and I am proud of it. Allah Akbar. Ya Hussain

10 Egyptian Army

They are armed by science and faith and carry no fear from anyone, They'd devote themselves for death rather than their lands would be colonized.

Egyptian army are the best... We beat all the enemiies that tryied to get our countries even israel

Because of the number of..

The Contenders
11 Nepalese Army

Nepal is the bravest among bravest,
Because Indian army and British armies are taking the help of Nepal in their dangerous missions.
UN always choose Nepalese army at first for their every single missions.

And history is alive that no war and no mission is been lost where there were Nepalese troops.

"Nepalese never give up in any battle in the history" Because of that Nepali army go all over the world for helping.
In U.K.,India and France have 25% of Nepalese army are work.
They go in other country when Nepal need them they came and help Nepal
They love their mother land never forget their country

Nepal was never invade or ruled by any other countries. Neighbor county India was invaded and ruled by British Empire, where Nepal remain Independent as it is supposed to be, because Nepal (Gorkha) had and have the greatest army of all time in the world.

12 Nigerian Army

Best ground fighters in Africa, but our government is not doing enough for the armed forces at all, all we need is new sophisticated weapons and equipments, tanks, war ships, aircraft carrier, increase in the military salaries, a good future for them and I think we will be top 3 in the world because talk of bravery, they are number one...COMMON Nigeria.

Not many Armies can achieve as much Nigeria's army given the limitations imposed on them by equipment. I give it to the men... guts and glory.

Yes I totally I agree with you, In 2016 Nigerian army shows they are better the before with their recent victorious.

13 United States Marines

Marines go in first come out last & never leave a marine behind that is why we are the few & the proud!

If you want it done right the first time send the corp!

Hardest boot camp and best training.

14 Pakistan Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar are other major cities of Pakistan. Urdu and English are official languages of Pakistan. World's second highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located in Pakistan.

Pakistan is the bravest army and not only pakistani soldiers but pakistani people are also very brave that they can sacrifice their lives for their country...They have Higher spirit than weapons.

No doubt Pakistani soldiers are the best fighters. They defeated India in the 1965 war.

No words for this brave and lionheart army...because they only want to be martyrs in the way of ALLAH

15 Zimbabwe Defense Forces

Zimbabwe is definitely one of the most underrated countries in the world.

Zim should be number one

They sure know how to be ruthlessly efficient after an infusion of Russian grit & Chinese precision

16 Serbian Army

German General August Von Mackeson was sent to defeat the Serbian Army in WWII after Austro-Hungary failed three times and were pushed back to Vienna by the Serbian Army. He describes the Serbian army this way. "Von Mackensen appears to have had great respect for the Serbian army and Serbians generally. Before departing to the Serbian front in 1914, he spoke to his men:

"You are not going to the Italian, Russian, or French front. You are going into battle against a new enemy - dangerous, tough, fearless and sharp. You are going to the Serbian front and Serbia. Serbs are people who love their freedom, and who will fight to the last man. Be careful this small enemy does not cast a shadow on your glory and compromise your successes"

This is funny, that Serbs are 13th, realistically Serbian army should be within top 3 armies, when we consider bravery as a factor.
After WWI some Japanese high representative in Paris said that they admits, with heavy hearth that Serbian army show more warriorship and courage than Japanese, and they were considered as the best warriors.
It is fact that for Serbs are normal to go 1 on 7 enemy soldiers, from 14th century till now in every war, and then you see, if we are 13th.
I am seeing here that US is 8th, which is hilarious, Serbian army were out numbered 1/6 in the Battle of Košare 99', enemy troops were made from US-NATO soldier besides others, and they lost. That was their first and last atempt, to invade by foot Sebian land in ninethies war, but you won't hear that from them of course.

17 Philippine Army

" Give me 500 Filipinos and will conquer the world"
Famous quote from a US icon during World War II era.
Not sure. Eisenhower or MacArthur?

We are the people who never quits...we were the people who fought agaisnt Japan when the American retreated with stayed and fought to the end!

For me they are the bravest of them all. Read the history!

18 Bangladesh Army

I just voted to reply to the idiot who said BD army can defeat US army,
just to let them know that it is not Pakistan's army that would get defeated by Propaganda Alone. Gigantic Idiot's,. for BD they don't even need army they jsut need a small atack vessel from the us navy. Moron.

Bangladesh army has the guts to fight with anyone in the world. They are ready to defend their motherland if US and India attack BD.

They are one of the bravest soldier in the world cause they once fought for their mother tongue.

19 England

The British army trains more than any other and is brave enough to still do a bayonet charge across open ground in the 21st century against machine fun fire. Zero casualties!. The British army is historically the most disciplined fighting force. with men who would stand up and wave their arms at the enemy if they where commanded to do so.

What an insult to Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish soldiers - England? Surely the heading should be UK or Britain.

Most professional and are very tough while maintaining a sense of proportion.

20 Greek Army

They commited 1st victory in world war 2 with no supplies or anything else only their proud spirit of freedom.

Greeks have been rugged fighters since the Battle of Marathon. It's best troops are the ethnic Macedonians.

21 Australian Army

Everyone believes that they have the best in the world, this list is dominated by nationalists with numbers on their side, China has 1.3 billion people and they are 2nd on this list, India has just over 1 billion people and they are 7th on the list, then America which has 300 million are 8th on the list. The only reason countries like those are so high is because this website chooses based on a voting system, if 3,000 people say China is better as opposed to 100 people saying Australia is better and proving it, China will be ranked higher because they have more votes, doesn't rely on proof just personal opinion. IF this website DID rely on PROOF then Australia would definitely by number 1 on this list. America would be down the bottom, after all this website is after best trained not largest.

War is a useless game where we just inflict pain. When I am wise enough to run this country, we won't stop the arms race we will continue to develop technology that is compatible to any country if not better.
But I swear never to take a country to war or invade a land, we will defend what we have to death do us part and I can only hope there is someone like me from foreign land willing to take on this challenge and embrace life and have "war games" not war. Bless you all and let's hope we can pull through this time of trial and error.

22 Israel Defense Forces

This country is the best they are actually trained in many ways, towards great hatred they ahead of time in preparation. And the lessons learned from the past

Israel won the Egypt, Syria and Jordania 3 times, without good or modern weapons, Stop Freeking the People, Israel is stronger than Australia or Pakistan, don't write Propaganda Here!

Israeli troops are coward and only in groups invade palastini children. They are courage less and puppet of USA in Middle East. They have no morale right to

23 Uganda People's Defence Force

According to the conflicts that have so far erupted in Africa, it has only been Ugandan troops intervening to provide maximum security to people of that war torn country. countries like Rwanda, DR Congo, S.Sudan. Somalia, Burundi, Central African Republic, now Equatorial Guinea, and have succeeded in all wars, I think Ugandan troops is currently the most fighting and successful forces on the African continent

Yes, they are not only brave and strong but also the most disciplined Army in the region and Africa.

Actually, they should be among the 10most powerful and combat hardened in Africa

Uganda should be in the top ten countries.
because of the conflicts that were in Somalia, and Congo

24 Sri Lankan Army

They had not very technical equipments like most powerful countries. but they defeated world's most dangerous terrorists in the world with out any facilities. they had the humanity. they didn't trouble the family members of terrorists therefore they should be the first.

They defeated the world's most organized and dangerous terror group.

Sri Lankan army is the only army who defeated the terrorism in their country.they have very brave soldiars who fights in any situation..

25 Canadian Army

They've been sent out to defend other Nations, they have the world's most complex military doctrine, and have defended Europe, The Middle East, and countless other Nations. The undoubted best Miltary in cold weather, who have always done the most with less. They have barely any enimies and are under the Norad nuclear umbrella. Their basic infantryman is trained to that of a Marine

What can I say. My own corps is underfunded by our Liberal politicians who like to pretend we are just boy and girl scouts. Despite that we are as professional as any and always fulfill the mission.

All volunteers, trained to use their initiative to accomplish their mission with minimal support.
