Global Firepower presented an updated ranking of the armies of the world

275
Global Firepower portal has published a regular ranking of the armies of the world. The rating reportedly takes into account the nuclear potentials of states, the economic security of armies, geographical factors affecting the use of armed forces and other aspects. For each of these points, an army of a state was assigned a certain coefficient, and, based on a general analysis of the coefficients, a rating table was created.

In the top three rankings Global Firepower Army of the United States of America, Russia and China. The Israeli army, according to experts who analyzed the potentials of the army, did not make it to the top ten, taking a position in the 11 rating. The army of Ukraine was put on the 25 line - this is between the armies of Sweden and Singapore. It should be noted that in the previous rating of the Global Firepower APU were placed four lines higher. The army of Belarus in this list is in 45-th place, which is two positions above the line, which is determined by the army of Argentina. And the army of Estonia is called the weakest army among the NATO member countries - 108 is a place from 126.

      All these ratings bullshit! No army can compare with Russia in terms of experience and morale! It's in our blood ..... 145 million controls this territory! Who else wants to check us out?

          Herein lies the chip of the effectiveness of the Army, not in the ability to attack abruptly, but in the ability to protect the population of their homeland, and even with great blood, both their own and that of others (this is desirable multiple), to resolve the conflict in their favor.
          Russia will not be left alone, we still have to bury the carcasses of foreign "military tourists" on their land ... there will be enough space for everyone in mass graves.

                  And much more powerful countries like Brazil, Vietnam or Iran are in 21-23 places

                    Yes, in this case, too, is not easy to compare, because the theater of operations is of great importance. Take, for example, the conflict between the United States and the Russian Federation, agree that a clash between the armed forces of these countries somewhere in Syria or Ukraine, and in the Pacific or in the Arctic is absolutely different things.
                    PS. Well, countries with nuclear weapons should automatically occupy the first lines of the rating, as they possess weapons of monstrous destructive power

                      They removed the language, the strength of the US Army is the developed logistics, yes, the Russian army is invincible, but only near its borders. After all, there is an example of a war of strong Germans against weak Britons with developed logistics and large resources - in North Africa.

            and in the ability to protect the population of his homeland, and even with great blood


            This is the problem. I read somewhere that if it weren’t for the 1st and 2nd worlds with the civil war, the Russian population would be under 400 million. That’s sad !!! That we are only 140 million. And what will we do when China trample? And he will trample it a matter of time, whatever illusions you build about friendship. He will go across the border in small groups of 4-5 million people ....

              You are shifting the problem from a sick head to a healthy one. We are few because we gave women too many rights and now they are realizing their main right - the right not to give birth to children. Wars China was not prevented from growing demographically, as well as some other countries.

            On the whole it is true. But it is not the army that should "warn", but the diplomats. And the army should be such that it would never occur to anyone to attack us. However, these are common truths.

          This is because they will first calculate the military potential, make a rating, and only then start a war.
          It is good that the Russian generals do not read the ratings. Otherwise, Suvorov would never have decided to go with his army through the Alps to Paris, and the Soviet troops to Berlin.
          An interesting position of Kazakhstan at 66th place, after Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. In my opinion, a fairly objective assessment despite the demagogy and window dressing of Kazakhstani politicians.

                        But I’m not talking about absolute truth, and what event was crucial for the fate of different countries in the future. Maybe the defeat of the Red Army in 1941 was good for the further fate of planet Earth, because Stalin would have defeated Hitler by the end of November-December 1941 He wouldn’t be satisfied with Germany alone. All of Europe would fall at his feet, and then Asia and so on, until the world revolution would be completely victorious. But Hitler wasn’t even turned to its fullest, because fascism and socialism are one field of berries. in essence, they cannot exist and live long. And so one fire extinguished another fire, and the balance in the world stabilized a little. I HAVE SEEN HISTORICAL FACTS WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO BE REVIEWED THERE.

                        Che and there was no talk about peace, friendship, chewing gum? What right now will we reconcile and Western benefits will flow to us? That we’ll go west, we are sorely missed there, and we are so classy that we need to pay money because we have money, and the bourgeois’s allowance is greater than our salaries, the bourgeois will teach us how to live beautifully and richly, because the bourgeoisie has everything beautiful and rich.

                        It seems to me that every state has its own skeleton in the closet. And if someone is "interested", let him dig in these "closets" himself and keep everything with him, and the rest (who are not "interested") will "eat" the story that is offered to him. And it's better to let this story be heroic. Mikhail Lomonosov: "A people who do not know their past has no future." It is easier to build a heroic future on the heroic past.

          Why compare the peacetime army and the army during the war. You consider mobilization reserves. The number of personnel in wartime divisions is by definition higher.

          American WHO, excuse me, do not underestimate ??? WARRIORS ??? Yes there is not a single soldier, not that of a warrior. This is a bunch of tattered jackals, capable of only attacking from the back, but as soon as they are at least a little answered, throwing in pieces.

            Not worth it. Americans are strong, mainly not by soldiers, but by technology. And the future war will just be the one where technology will solve everything. And in a matter of hours. But then the strength of the spirit of the soldier will come to the fore (if there is someone left with us and them). And here we will be stronger if, I repeat, those who are able to fight are alive.

              The American army is constantly fighting. Well done. Fighting spirit ... The mentality with us is different, and therefore we understand this matter in different ways. Patton, it seems, spoke out in the spirit that there wasn’t supposedly a bigger complainer than an American soldier, but if a soldier complains, it’s normal, worse when he stops complaining ...
              Facts. Performance statistics. It is simply not customary for them to be heroic. For example, the Germans during the Second World War considered the Spaniards, as they would say now, as show-offs, draftsmen. The senseless, in the opinion of the Germans, "valiant prowess" only hurt the cause. German heroism was strictly dosed, if I may say so. The Spaniards despised the Germans for their prudence and this very dosage. In any occupied settlement, where there were both Germans and Spaniards, the female gender invariably gave preference to the Spaniards ... But who in the end proved to be more effective on the battlefield? That's right, the one who knows how to count better and is more pragmatic. But here Germans and Americans are ahead of the rest, as they say.
              And yet. Hurray to the patriots. Of which I observe a lot here. Zadolbali puppy delights.
              If the topic is really interesting, refer to statistics. Time of the Ardennes "blitzkrieg" of the Germans. The Americans are retreating. How many of them voluntarily (I emphasize - voluntarily!) Surrendered to the Germans? Over the same time period, the Eastern Front.
              The Red Army is advancing. How many Red Army soldiers voluntarily (once again, for the "gifted" - voluntarily!) Go over to the side of the Germans?
              Well, for a snack. Compare the battles for Grozny (94-95gg) and the battles for Fallujah (2004), the battles for Hue (1968). When politicians stopped interfering with the army (the last two cases), it showed itself perfectly.

                Well, for an appetizer, in the Ardennes, the American army went to the exhausted Wehrmacht parts, which snapped, having suffered huge losses, there was no one to surrender, they picked the Fritz out of the fortification line, and before that the Fritz drove them through the forests and the Americans suffered very heavy losses. There were no concentration camps and such a large-scale attack as on the USSR. So the comparison is inappropriate, the first day of the war and almost the last.

              The US Army has in recent years very, very weakened. If we compare the current combat readiness army and thirty years ago, the latter goes ahead by a large margin. And the explanation is very simple, like boots - fighting with a weaker opponent, the army weakens itself.
              30 years ago, the American army was preparing for a confrontation with the then-strongest army of the Land of Soviets. The level of training was appropriate. Now the USA army is fighting with yesterday's camel drivers, and other spirits that can do the most - to blow up a landmine on the road or blow themselves up at a roadblock.
              The pilots turned into cabbies - everything, even fighters - whose main task is to deliver the bomb cargo to the drop point and press the button.
              Tanks turned into clumsy fortresses on wheels weighing under 70 tons, the main task of which is to support the actions of infantry and marines, provided that they are not defeated by manual anti-tank weapons. From a means of breaking through to operational space and operations on communications, tanks turned into artillery supporting infantry at a direct-fire range.
              Light armored vehicles turned into heavy, which is able to withstand a blast in a land mine, where mobility is sacrificed to the defense.
              This is because over the past 15 years the army has been fulfilling precisely the specific tasks of acting against lightly armed partisan units.

              But! It is foolish and criminal to consider an army of a likely adversary weak, snickering, shy and unsuitable for anything. It is no less stupid and criminal to glorify the virtues of one's own army to heaven, while likening oneself to an ostrich at the words of its shortcomings and weaknesses. Thank! We have already passed this! Before each world war, we go through this stage - we are not preparing for future wars, but for the past, after which we leave for mass heroism and huge blood.
              The US Army is strong, and strong not only in technology - the fighting spirit of the guys who serve in it must also be taken into account. someone who believes in mass layoffs on the "Donald Cook" after the passage of our Drying. and a criminal.

              IMHO - war is work. High risk jobs. But, like in any job, if all the links - from the supreme to the rank and file Vanya, will clearly do their job - the losses will be minimal. And heroism is not required in this case. Any heroism is first of all a consequence of the mistakes of higher commanders.
              We do not need heroism - we need pragmatists to the marrow of bones, and we will win the exact calculation.

                    The US Department of Defense believes that the actions of the Russian Su-24 military aircraft, which flew at a low altitude of the American destroyer Donald Cook in the Black Sea, were provocative. This was announced on Monday by Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren, who clarified that the Russian plane went 12 times near the US Navy ship.

                      First, you show me where I extolled the Amer army to heaven, and then ascribe your speculations. The debate was about the complete and unconditional superiority of us over the Americans, who, without assortment, cannot fight. From my point of view, this is criminal. As well as defeatism.

                      About pragmatism - but what's wrong with that? Clear planning of all stages and precise implementation of the orders of the headquarters at all levels ensures the achievement of goals with minimal losses. This Crimea last year showed when everything worked clearly, like a clockwork. Another thing is that in the conditions of real hostilities this is utopia, well, so I did not say the opposite. I affirm only that the heroism of some is due to the stupidity and negligence of others. This is an axiom.
                      You read the Charter at your leisure - this is where pragmatists dragged on laughing Only now all the pages are written in blood ...

Again, they were answered a little in both Iraq and Yugoslavia, but they didn’t rush very loose. This means that they will have to rush to answer not just a little bit, but with the full power of their potential. It's me that no adversary should be underestimated. Unfortunately, we have considerable historical experience in this. Our soldiers had to shed a lot of blood for these lessons.

                That is, following the above definition, only our Armed Forces can be such an enemy, if I understood correctly? And now, for a second, forget about our nuclear potential and try to imagine how much we will be enough in a large-scale military conflict without using them, given the banal quantitative ratio in conventional modern weapons. Personally, I am more than sure that not only will no one give us time for the so-called. "threatened period", so that we could have time to get more or less full combat readiness before the start of the clash, but they will crush us with all available means, regardless of anything, because here the question will be about our destruction as a civilization. Nothing else in this conflict, God forbid, of course, the amers will no longer be of interest. And with all the strength of the spirit of our people, with all their courage, I assure you, oh, and we will have another meal ...

        From my own experience, I can say that the best fighters are the Vietnamese, then the Cubans. Russia is in third place. As for the assault attacks, I can't imagine the Americans' assault rifle group. Well, no way. Any shot from behind the duval, they begin to iron the village with palladins for two hours. Pull out a two-hundredth, the whole operation takes place, and the "pencils" are given instructions on the mobile how to crawl out into the non-fired zone. I don’t really understand what the marinas are, they either guard the camps, or shuffle around the abandoned villages, why are they shouting. Once I saw a video where the marina was shooting with something, but the distance of the battle was from two km. Why they fired with courageous faces did not understand, or maybe they were filming a movie. In conversations with the Americans, I realized that in a war they absolutely do not represent the possibility of being killed. As if the pioneers on Zarnitsa. Interestingly, the Anglo-Saxons were not bad fighters until the middle of the twentieth century. and in the 19th, they taught the whole world to fight. Half a century and complete degradation. What is it? McDonald's phenomenon?

          What you write about takes place. Every army has a mess. However ... Let's not confuse soft with warm.
          “... I don’t represent the Americans' DShG.“ You don’t need to imagine anything. A slightly different concept, but the same is. This business is very well organized for them. Probably, it will not be news to you that both the British and the Americans, when teaching "close combat", solved the problem of "sheep", "shepherd dogs", "wolves", etc. each shooter (!). The first characteristic example is the complete superiority of the British in the effectiveness of the use of small arms in the ground phase of the battles for the Falklands in 1982. The same is true for the Americans after the introduction of new techniques (after Vietnam). Yes, they try to avoid "close combat" (and why ?!), but if such a thing happens, then under equal conditions, as a rule, by orders of magnitude (yes, by orders of magnitude) More effective than their opponents. This is also understood in our MO. But they also understand that it would be reasonable to apply such training methods in a fully contract army. Therefore, in order to at least somehow compensate for this business, they began to saturate the army with machine guns.
          But, okay small arms. The outcome of the battle, as a rule, is determined by heavy (collective) weapons. In Ukraine now, as in the First World War, 70% of losses are artillery fire. What about our artillery? That's right - ass. Stopped at the level of the late 80s. When a network of "artillery" satellites was not created, the APPK equipment was dismantled, the department (the only one in the country!) AIR was liquidated, and we did not teach how to properly use high-precision ammunition (the warehouses were packed with Krasnopol. Who could really use it for the first Chechen one? How expensive is it to teach). And what has been done over the past 25 years ?! Oh yes. In the eastern part of Ukraine, a new trend is the preparation of shooting and shooting itself using smartphones as the main tool. Here you have topographic location and correction and complete preparation ... It works great. And the battalion commander for the NP in this light is somehow not relevant ... Now look what the Americans, Germans, Swedes and other French have. I don't want to describe everything. If you are interested, there is enough material in free access. The lag is conceptual in nature - an increase in the number of barrels here will not equal the possibilities.
          Write about the debugging of interaction with aviation? I will only mention that Cheburashek began to be converted into shock drones with the ability to carry tactical nuclear weapons.
          About the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield. Yes, whole operations. Yes, a separate service. Everything to meet the "golden hour". Will we compare the capabilities of the medical service, hospitals of various categories? I have a district hospital nearby. In some sense, he is. Some old people still remain. The head of the hospital makes a helpless gesture. Well, I can't, they say, I pay such money to the staff, as in Med. Institute. In the wards, there is only talk about who covered how much.
          In general, gloomy comparisons are obtained. We can inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy, of course. The issue of price.

            Apart from the little things, you have nothing to object to, but the question is completely not that. The question is that they are not taught to fight, they are taught to beat. They cope with a weak adversary very successfully. But in case of resistance, all debugging disappears. Moreover, I met different Americans, and I’m sure that defending his native Ohio, the nature of the battle would be completely different, worthy. The matter of motivation, even experienced geese, do not hesitate to send their command to the same organ on the air, because they earn money, and do not sacrifice their guts to local flies. There are no heroes there, they are fools, but they are quickly shot. By the way, the specialists have excellent shooting training there, I don’t advise getting into fuchsia with an aiming sight. And the price, is it the price of human life? There is a fever of battle, and how cool you are, how prudent, how trained, you and your comrades, fighting luck will love you so much.

      The launch conducted the 576th flight test squadron with the participation of the 341st missile wing team at Malmstrom airbase. Earlier, on March 23, a launch was carried out with the participation of the 90th missile wing at Warren Air Base. Thus, during the week, the combat crew skills of two of the three American ICBM bases were tested, on which 450 Minuteman III missiles were on alert.

    The rating, of course, is an indicator, but Russia from all sides, except the North and East, is surrounded by land, on which there are a lot of military bases and "well-wishers." At the same time, the United States is in such, one might say, ideal geographical position, which deliberately puts it in a position practically unattainable with conventional weapons. And here at least ten ratings determine, but it (the USA) is not so easy to take. And they make full use of their inaccessibility. Well, all good things will certainly end someday.

    It’s not the ratings that decide on the battlefield, no matter how multi-factorial they are, but the specific circumstances of the next “world” and still the motivation of the warrior, and she (motivation) is always higher if on the side of the truth (“our cause is right”). And what the American inspire (by the way, this is a collective white gentleman, a former slave - an African American, a diverse hook, a red-skinned survivor) from childhood the American dream - the idea of ​​success using any methods, instead of the idea of ​​defending the Homeland (after all, they never defended their Homeland on their territory - Pearl Harbor does not count).

    Americans are strong, mainly not by soldiers, but by technology. And the future war will just be the one where technology will solve everything.

    Before the Great Patriotic War, they said the same thing, though then there were no nuclear weapons. Before an attack, the enemy always calculates the potential of the country and only when he sees weakness he attacks. Amers need an advantage of at least ten times and that would not be able to use nuclear weapons. This is what Euro missile defense is for. It doesn't matter whether she protects the Americans or not, the main thing is that she creates the illusion of invulnerability, which means that the threat of nuclear war is growing. As Zadornov said: "They always attack our state, but get an urdul from the Motherland."

I would like to recall once again several examples from the past: for almost four years the well-equipped US army tried to defeat the Japanese, and in just two weeks ours completely eliminated half of the Japanese potential - the million-strong Kwantung Army (and note that we did not have an atomic bomb then); the Vietnamese the patriots withstood many years of American aggression and in the end “knocked off” their horns; and if you remember the events of 1944, in the Ardennes, there were a couple of SS-panzer divisions that “shooed” these vaunted warriors and let me remind you that there were the largest number prisoners (after Dunkirk), and how they “tearfully” begged Marshal Stalin for help! Why did they lose their memory!!!???! And Belarus was pushed lower than the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for what reasons did they forget, and it seems they didn’t know at all that during the Second World War there were areas on the territory of Belarus where the Nazi invaders never set foot?!

The Swedish army has outstripped the Swiss in terms of firepower and striking power; the latter, for example, surpasses the former both in the number of Leopard-2 MBTs (380 versus 280), and in the quantity and quality of artillery, 155-mm M109 self-propelled guns (up to 570) against the 155-mm BG FH-77 (up to 210) of the Swedes, taking into account those stored. Both neutral countries have the same number of BS (85), Swedish Air Force Gripen-C/D, F/A-18C/D Hornet (32) and F-5E/F Tiger II (53) Swiss Air Force.
