POWERFUL MILITARIES IN THE WORLD

Added on: 4th Dec 2016

 

NORTH KOREA

North Korea

Officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,

North Korea is known for its oppressive government

and its antagonistic relationship with a good portion of

the world. It currently holds 4,200 tanks, 944 aircraft and

a naval force of 967. In spite of these numbers, North

Korea’s weaponry is considered to be aged and obsolete

with limited capabilities. For example, out of the 70

submarines it currently has, 20 are rusty Romeo-class

submarines with 1950’s technology.

 

 

SAUDI ARABIA

Saudi military

The Royal Saudi Armed Forces consists of the Saudi Arabian

Army, the Royal Saudi Air Force, the Royal Saudi Navy, the

Royal Saudi Air Defence, the Saudi Arabian National Guard

(SANG) and paramilitary forces, together totalling over

230,000 active-duty members. It’s one of the richest

militaries in the world and is in charge of protecting

the country’s vast wealth.

 

 

AUSTRALIA

Australian army

The unstoppable rise of China has forced Australia, as

well as most countries in the Asia-Pacific region, into a

continuous upgrade and modernization of their military

force, which, despite its small size, is considered one of

the best and most effective in the world.

 

 

CANADA

Canadian armed forces

Despite being one of the most peaceful and friendliest countries

throughout its history, Canada’s military is among the most

powerful in the world. Currently, Canada has an extensive

arsenal of military weapons including 181 tanks, 426 Aircraft

and a total naval strength of 63.

 

 

IRAN

IRAN

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran total about

545,000 active personnel and is without a doubt one of the

most powerful and dominant forces in the Mid-East.

 

 

THAILAND

Thai army

The military is the foundation of unity and peace in Thai society.

Thailand has an impressive number of active personnel

and tanks in the world. A more fascinating fact is that

Thailand has an aircraft carrier but does not have an aircraft

fleet (Since their AV-8S Matadors were withdrawn from

service in 2006).

 

 

TAIWAN

Under the constant threat of the gigantic Chinese army that has

plans to invade and occupy the country, Taiwan has

focused its military development in terms of defence

operations. That’s why, for such a small island, Taiwan has

more helicopters (307) than most countries, and its number

of tanks (2,005) and aircrafts (815 total) is quite impressive

in relation to its size.

 

 

POLAND

Polish army

The unrest and tension in Ukraine has forced the Polish

government to spend outrageous amounts of money lately

and as a result the country’s military and warfare equipment

has improved dramatically within only a few years.

 

 

VIETNAM

VIETNAM

The Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) is the country’s defence force

and is regarded as one of the most prestigious and sacred

things in the local culture, especially after the brave (and

victorious, in most historians’ eyes) resistance it exhibited

fighting against superpowers such as France and the US

in the twentieth century. It’s an integral part of the country’s

culture and is considered one of the most powerful in Asia.
