[Wasteland]

It's enough to see Taiwan above Israel to call bullshit.

Dafuk.......Germany,Italy,Ukraine(Seriously),Israel,Taiwan,Saudi Arabia,Brazil,Iran,SK are above Pakistan.......
Says enough about this BS

 

[LeGenD]

Some people are stuck in the past, it seems. Experts formulate an assessment based on many factors and not jingoism.

Let us be realistic. A country's annual defense budget dictates its potential in defense related matters

If we consider nuclear weapons, then Pakistan would be in top 10 list. Without them, story is different.

 

[FullSerivce]

Strangely enough, I have other information.

 

[waz]

Terrible list.

 

[mandrom]

Russia should be 2nd and China 3rd. The syrian crisis demonstrated considerable power projection capability of Russian federation.

 

[Wasteland]

Strangely enough, I have other information.View attachment 266181

Indonesia 12? again, GFP ranking is bollocks

 

[Blue Marlin]

these lists are all stupid. most of them are the other way around!

 

[wiseone2]

Ukraine,Brazil,Taiwan,SK and KSA more powerful than Pak..

Ok..

Korea one can think about it.. KSA (sure airfirce - edge).. But no navy,army and not very "trained"... Ukraine ?,Braxil ? With its obsolete "jets",insignificant army and navy... Ok Fuk logic



ISIS is more powerful than Norway..

If Pakistan was located where Iraq was and attacked Saudi Arabia the Saudi air force could inflict serious damage upon Pakistani army

 

[Donald Trump]

Germany is above us seriously ???????????????? and Saudi Arabia WOW great job ? Is this the list or what ?

Can you even compare yourselves to the German Army? You gotta be kidding, right?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

If Pakistan was located where Iraq was and attacked Saudi Arabia the Saudi air force could inflict serious damage upon Pakistani army

For an airforce to be effective vs a battle hardened and professional airforce... It has to be professional itself...

A 4th grader can't compete with his teacher..

Can you even compare yourselves to the German Army? You gotta be joking, right?

Fire power, manpower and professionalism why not...

Do you think Indian military is also .... compared to Germans or France in all those aspects ?

 

[Pak_88]

Point is, these are QUANTITATIVE, not QUALITATIVE..... Budget Amreeka ka zyada hai, magar Iraq, Afghanistannnn

 

[Akasa]

Russia should be 2nd and China 3rd. The syrian crisis demonstrated considerable power projection capability of Russian federation.

To be fair, that doesn't really demonstrate the relative projection ability of the Russian air force vis-a-vis that of the PLAAF.

 

[Storm Force]

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

The article is not alking about nukes or tanks or shi[ps.

ITS RELATES TO DEEP INNER STRENGTHS OF NATIONS RELATED TO DEFENSE IE

FINANCIAL MUSCLE
TECHNOLOGY
LEADERSHIP
RESOURCES
EXPERIENCE

SECRET SERVICES
ESPIONAGE
FUTURE GDP GROWTH IN MEDUIM TERM

IF IT CAME TO TOTAL WAR USING ALL RESOURCES ALL MATERIALS OVER SEVERAL YEARS THESE ARE THE REAL POWERS OF THE WORLD

NOT FAR BEHIND

ITLAY
SOUTH KOREA

SAUDI
AUSTRLIAILA

AND YES GDP AND FOREX POWER PLAYS A BIG PART ON A LONG WORLD WAR

 

[xyxmt]

Even Canada at no 20, that is when both the tanks are in operations
