The "Bussines Insider" published a rating of military power of the world. There are surprises

95
This week was published the next rating of states in terms of their defense costs and the potential of the armed forces. Rating was made Bussines insider. Experts who participated in the compilation of the rating table stated that the assessment of the power of the armed forces of the countries of the planet was carried out on the basis of taking into account 50 of various factors, including the technical equipment of armies, modernization spending, troop strength, and even access to resources. Each of the factors is analyzed and gives the army of the state a certain number of points. Based on the amount of points and compiled a rating table.

The top three world rankings are estimated Bussines insider, as follows:

The first place is occupied by the United States of America with the "active part of the army" of 1,43 million people. US defense spending - $ 612,5 billion. Number tanks - 8325, funds aviation - 13683, nuclear warheads - 7506, aircraft carriers - 10, submarines of various classes - 72.

The second place is from the Russian Federation. The publication reports that Russia has 766 thousands of personnel of the Armed Forces, 15000 tanks (the first figure in the world), 3082 aircraft, 8484 nuclear warheads (first place in the world), 1 aircraft carrier, 63 submarines. The budget of the Russian army - 76,6 billion.

In third place Bussines Insider puts the PLA (Chinese Army). When the number of 2,285 million soldiers and officers in the army of China spends 126 billion dollars. The number of tanks - 9150, aircraft - 2788, aircraft carriers - 1, nuclear warheads - 250, submarines - 69.

If we evaluate the top three according to the presented indicators (and if we believe these indicators), then the US has the lead in the number of aircraft carriers, aviation assets and costs. China has the leadership in the size of the army, in Russia - in the tanks and the number of nuclear warheads.

Reporting about the Israeli army, Bussines Insider writes about the presence of 80-200 nuclear warheads, although Israel continues to position itself as a country that does not have its own nuclear potential. Israel’s army was put by experts at 11.

On the 21 site ranking is the army of Ukraine. In the ranking it is higher than the armies of Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Netherlands, Sweden, Algeria and Mexico ...
According to the publication Bussines Insider, Kiev has 160 thousand (!) Military personnel, more than 4 thousand tanks, 400 airplanes and helicopters, and one submarine. Perhaps the only thing you can definitely agree with in this case is the number of submarines ...

But a lot of surprises indicated number of submarines from North Korea. Their already 78. More than Germany, France, Britain, India, South Korea and Turkey combined ... According to the statements of the rating, according to this indicator, North Korea is generally in first place in the world. Is that so?

      There is surely such a rating, they are only afraid to publish it in the West, and even the capital is ashamed of their rating!

        This rating was probably copiously edited by humorists, as in the cartoon about Prostokvashino: "and the other day I started to get sick, then my paws ache, then my tail falls off" ...

          You should read the title of the picture.
          This is a reprint from http://www.globalfirepower.com/
          You can take a look - it’s full of statistics.

          By the way, the picture underlines: "The quality of weapons, training and professionalism of servicemen are not taken into account."

          And you ask amers, directly:
          “Are they ready for cruise missiles to be torn on their territory, there will be many corpses, rampant black and Latin gangs, and there will be no white people there for a month?” Are they ready to look in the faces of their children sitting in the basements, without water, food, without hope of salvation, covered with debris of buildings?
          ASK THEM !!!
          And not only them, Norwegians, Finns, Estonians, Germans (they know whether they want a repetition), and other nations. Whom the war spared, who were not bombed at night (residential quarters) by the most democratic troops in the world.
          You are such a fear in their eyes see !!!
          I seriously, I asked! They do not believe that it will be!
          THEY JUST DIDN'T THINK THEY ABOUT THIS !!! THEY THINK that it will be like in Yugoslavia, understand !!! THIS IS NOT SERIOUSLY !!!

          Bismarck once said that when attacking Russia, the last German soldier will enter the last Russian city. He spoke about the futility of a war with Russia. But then there were no nuclear charges. It would sound different now. Last nuclear charge

        It composes ... Birobidzhan will write the capital of Belarus. And South Africa is a state on the Black Sea. And according to US interest in Ukraine, it can be assumed that Ukraine borders on at least fifteen American states. Entertaining geography, damn it!

        The best geography is, as indicated above, the geography of the capitals taken by a Russian soldier. They jump, and Washington will be in that collection.

                Can you help to understand at least in 2 words the meaning of the song from the top video?
                Suddenly, in this song they discredit Russia, or they sing about how to make money well in America, or they sing about their first love, well, how do I know?

                  Am I wrong? (translation)
                  [1 couplet:]
                  Am I wrong if I think outside the box, not the way it is customary here? (1)
                  Am I wrong if I say that I will choose a different path?
                  I'm not trying to do what everyone else does
                  Because they are doing their job.
                  I wish I knew: how much will I grow?
                  I walk this road of mine
                  This road that I call home ...

                  [Chorus:]
                  So am I wrong if I think
                  What could we really achieve? (2)
                  Am I wrong if I try to reach out
                  What is invisible to me so far?
                  But I feel so
                  I just feel that way
                  I just feel that way
                  When I try to reach out to invisible things ...
                  [2 couplet:]
                  Am I mistaken if I have a dream?
                  I predict: I will conquer all the peaks. (3)
                  Hope you, hope you don't look back,
                  I hope you don’t look back
                  Always do what you decide
                  And you will always do as you decided.
                  Don't let anyone control your life -
                  I feel that way.
                  Fight for what belongs to you, don't give up
                  Don't let yourself compare with others, no!
                  Don’t worry, you are not alone -
                  We just feel that way!
                  [Chorus:]
                  So am I wrong if I think
                  What could we really achieve?
                  Am I wrong if I try to reach out
                  What is invisible to me so far?

                  I just feel that way
                  When I try to reach out to invisible things ...
                  [Transition: 2x]
                  If you say I'm wrong
                  So I don’t want to be right.
                  If you say I'm wrong
                  So I don’t want to be right.
                  [Chorus: 2x]
                  So am I wrong if I think
                  What could we really achieve?
                  Am I wrong if I try to reach out
                  What is invisible to me so far?
                  But I feel so
                  That's just how I feel
                  I just feel that way
                  That's just how I feel
                  I just feel that way
                  When I try to reach out to invisible things ...

                  1 - literally: unlike the place where I am / stay
                  2 - literally: really become something
                  3 - contextual translation. On top of the world (stable expression) ~ on top of happiness, in the seventh heaven

                You play on the radio
                Spin on air every hour8
                An endless sight for those who are not tormented by sleep.

                Oh la la in LA, oh la la in USA,

            Generally not quite like that
            The first state to recognize Israel de facto was the United States. Truman announced this at 18:11 minutes on May 14 - 11 minutes after Ben-Gurion announced the Declaration of Independence. The first country to recognize the Jewish state in full, de jure, was the Soviet Union on May 17 [88]. First Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel Moshe Sharet in the first official telegram from Israel to the USSR expressed "deep gratitude and respect of the people of Israel for the steadfast position taken by the Soviet delegation to the UN in support of the formation of an independent and sovereign Jewish state" "Chronograph".

            On May 11, 1949, the State of Israel was recognized as a member of the UN [92]. As of September 2011, Israel maintains diplomatic relations with 159 countries and has 100 diplomatic missions [93].

            the question is the difference between de facto and de jure.
            Just passing laws and de jure recognition, the USA has a much longer path than it was in the USSR
            In the USSR, the words of Stalin were enough for de jure recognition. In the USA, this should go through the legislative commission, then the Senate in Congress. then the signature of the president.
            Therefore, the United States always recognizes first de facto, and then on the basis of this and in accordance with the legislative initiative de jure.
            So who first admitted is the question. hi

              Thank you for the beautiful tale of American democracy. The usurper Stalin single-handedly determined immediately de facto and de jure for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR and for the UN. And the loyal American president was sweating and tormented, waiting for the Congress decision, and then, at the end of his strength, signed their unpredictable, but democratic decision, but from that moment both his de jure and de facto ideas began. American presidents, they are also slaves of democracy.

        Talk nonsense. If you listen to that, we and millions of specialist tankers have millions (like WoT operators). It’s only that professionalism doesn’t rest purely on technical skills, but the ability to apply them in a battle environment, and here motivation and morale already mean how much.
        It's a bad habit to compare the wars of technology leaders with the "Papuans" countries. In modern combat, the personal endurance of "specialists" is no less important than the technique and skills of handling it.
        What is in a tank or an artillery "duel" is important, all other things being equal, to be more self-possessed, not to give up target designation and go to safety ahead of time. Often, distance warfare is not only a confrontation between technology but also "nerves".

        China is ANOTHER civilization. NOT military. In our - the Mediterranean-European - the power of a man with a weapon (a prince with a squad, etc.). And in China, soldiers from time immemorial - armed servants and their number - 6. The official has power. There is always an excess of people. So he was thrown for slaughter.
        At the same time, "whoever did not bend them," but could not bend them. A Chinese official would come to any "winner" and offer his services to govern the country. And after a couple of generations, the "winner" became Chinese. And for the Celestial (or Middle) Empire, a couple of generations is zero without a wand! And they perceive the entire 20th century as a small hitch on the victorious path of their country to the future.

      So I remembered April 12 and "Khibiny" in the Black Sea. What is characteristic - the American sailors did not understand how lucky they were. They don’t understand our airborne humor. Their happiness is that Gagarin did not fly into space on April 30. And then flying over their cruiser would not be 12, but 30.

    Impressive enough power. And it's good if this armada of military equipment is controlled by trained people. Do they have high morale, which is the most important indicator? The imperial army relied on autocracy and Orthodoxy, the Red and Soviet on Marxist-Leninist ideology. Patriotism and love for the Motherland were at the forefront. At what level is this component in the modern Russian army? Especially not so long ago, the glorious "Serdyukov" managers put a lot of effort into its collapse and discrediting. stop

Yes, and dregs with tanks. After the MAGAH-7 and MK-1 were decommissioned, the MK2 / 3 / 4 remained in service. At what Mk2 only among the reservists. Thus, AOI has about 2000 machines in operation.

    An interesting rating, although hardly simple arithmetic can show the real superiority of an army. On the other hand, it is clear that certain positions need to be strengthened. Not in the sense of building the darkness of aircraft carriers, but in quickly and relatively cheaply finding the possibility of destroying other aircraft carriers. lol

    If I understand correctly, the SGA army is located in North America (well, except for aircraft carriers, of course). Nobody probably wants to sail to them and start a war with the 1st army of the world, and cannot, except for the 2nd army of the world (as Shamanov said, I don’t care for America, but if the President orders, I’ll go), and if they come, they’ll fly back in response. . So it turns out that the Red Army is All Stronger! (Red mold)

    In terms of numbers and combat power - the second. And their army, except remotely, can fight? Mattresses, I mean. It is understandable to shoot at the Papuans with impunity or bomb a country without air defense. And in contact battles? The budget is, of course, impressive. And how does it translate into the development of all sorts of "wunderwafel" (count, cutting the budget by corporations), salaries for military personnel and personnel (well, a lot goes there), the maintenance of military bases and logistics? Maintenance of aircraft carrier groups? So consider who has the stronger army. In tank biathlon I would like to play with striped ears. With their vaunted "Abrams".

      Yes, the trash are their ratings.
      I absolutely agree ... In my opinion, there should be three ratings. 1. Defense capabilities; 2. Potential damage; 3. Combined: reciprocating, and they should be considered between countries in pairs. Defense capabilities mean the ability to defend territory without causing unacceptable damage. In particular, there should be parameters for the reflection of a missile salvo of conventional weapons and nuclear weapons: the maximum number of reflected salvo by category - KR, BR from different enemy countries. Similarly with the reflection of ground forces: the maximum number of reflected forces using conventional means. Damage opportunities are the ability to cause unacceptable damage to an opposing power or bloc using conventional weapons. For example, Yugoslavia caused unacceptable damage to 1000 missiles and 10 thousand bombs - you can take as a basis, based on the size of the country and population.
      It is known that about 7000 KR are being prepared for us, and they believe that, together with the rest of the attack forces, this will be enough to cause us unacceptable damage. And what do our staff think? It is clear that the attack will primarily affect our submarines, the Internet and radars, i.e. they must be protected. I’m even ready to assert that before the start of the attack on us an unprecedented number of their submarines should leave the base: it can be tracked in advance by reviving the supply of supplies.

      Even according to the lists of tanks in storage, dill had about 2600 tanks at the beginning of the year. 4000 were registered in 2010, and in 2014 approximately 1070 according to lists in the ranks and 1300-1500 in storage. Moreover, at the Artyomovsk base, where the militia managed to build only every tenth tank out there, it is clear that the actual number of Ukropov tanks at the beginning of the year was a maximum of 1200, but now you won’t count, since they already lost several hundred tanks, but they repaired them a little. In any case, they are in the 21st place by chance. It looks like the magazine just reprinted last year's data without any other information.

    PLA (Army of China). ........., 250 nuclear warheads

    Some hackneyed record. This is not the first decade that China has written about 250-300 nuclear warheads in China.
    I DO NOT BELIEVE that the country is developing so sharply in military affairs and does not increase the number of charges. I DO NOT BELIEVE!!!. There are clearly many times more !!!

    But a lot surprises the indicated number of submarines in the DPRK. There are 78 of them. More than Germany, France, Britain, India, South Korea and Turkey combined ...

    Well, if the author would look into the directory and read, he would not be surprised. DPRK REALLY has submarines of the order of this number.

    Only these are submarines or SO ANCIENT, based on already German boats of the Second World War. Or small boats of the size of "Babies" of local production. There is not much sense from them, but there are really a lot of them. I even think 78 is a modest number. And all this scrap metal these Koreans have more than 100 pieces.

    Against this background, it is strange that 31 submarines from Iran did not surprise the author smile smile smile
