Since it is difficult to estimate fighting ability unless war is actually fought; therefore most analysts rank the military forces based on numbers of men and material. IMO you missed out two very potent armies; North Korea and Taiwan. While one may argue the lack of economic resources of North Korea; it is hard to deny the economic might of Taiwan. Where would you placed these two countries in your list?

Yes that is true that North Korea has a bearish and poor economy overall, in the case of North Korea going to War with other countries both regional and foreign, we should take into account the historical precedent that is that China will provide financial assistance and subsidies to North Korea if it were in War.
i think pakistan shud be higher, atleast among the top 10 simply beacuse they have nukes
MILITARY POWER always has AND AWAYS will be linked to your ECONOMIC POWER "$$$$ and your technolgical engineering and scientific base....
You can use A COMBINATION of ranking to obtain the mighty TOP 10..
EG.
FIRST USE GDP rank & the actual $$$$- afterall military costs money
second use - your tech base- who has the best industrial, science,, engineering and science base...--- they can produce the most and deadelist weapons
third --- Actual fire power TODAY.. IE your military power in terms of AIR SEA & NAVY today or near future....
fourth-- your natural resources - your forex reseves, oil ,, nuclear power,, electricity,, man power,, education,, SRATEGIC depth....
finally,, Your allies YES - who will support come sun or rain eg israel the 52ND STATE OF usa is a power house of a military...
Pakistan & north korea are both nuclear powers... DOES THIS MAKE them top 10....
Both theses countries have tiny GDP no forex $$$$ and little or no natural resources..
In contrast Germany and Japan are not nuclear powers but they spend 10 times a year more on their military and have GDPs & forex which is 30 times the size..OF Pakistan/north korea
" USA is the mightest nation on earth"""
why.. ???? BECAUSE GDP= MILITARY BUDGET= BEST WEAPONS= BEST TRAINING= BEST RESOURCES= STRATEGIC DEPTH = NATURAL RESORCES= EDUCATED RACE...
If we are serious then the liast should read
1.USA
2.Russia
3.China
4.Japan
5.UK
6.France
7 Germany
8 Israel
9 South Korea
10 Turkey
I have intentionally left india out to avoid any arguments
And you have also left out Pakistan boss so u really didnt do us any favors!!
LoL buddy, if you want to be included in the list as a "favor", then go ahead, place yourself at the top and make merry!! I grant thee this favor. LOL
Seriously, there a thing called informed, educated introspection. But judging by the nationalist fervor of many a post here, I can understand why numbers game seems so important to some of the posters here.
No matter what you say, India, along with China, is an economic powerhouse. Its been said that Chinese economy is because of its government, while Indian economy is inspite of its government!! Go figure! (I cant remember the source off my head ATM, but would appreciate help in finding this source) How did Indians manage that, is anyones' guess. The less said about Pakistans economy, the better!! China recently refused to bail out its economy so they Pak govt had to - to put it kindly - turn to IMF for loans. So much for "all weather friends". There must be a reason for the Pakistans economy to be in such shambles, I wonder what it might be??
So as a previous post suggested that economic growth is tied to military might, I suggest some of the members here to keep your nationalistic pride aside for once and really evaluate, intelligently, the rankings again.
Hahaha powerhouse huh !! lol and grant wat u gona grant me boy u are no one to grant me jack the one who can grant me anything in this world is GOD himself and i was talking in the sense of miltary might /traning etc i understand that u guys are also talking about economy etc number game it is a known fact that i have noiticed that Indians seem to be wana be on top of everythng even when u suck at it when it comes to war boy its not the economy fighting its the gun and ones pride so plzz dont think u can grant me or us here anything grant your self some thinking time and yes also some educated thoughts wats funny to me is that u went in circles and actually took so much time to write to me hahah
It saddens me to see that you still have no idea what this is all about. BTW havent you heard of sarcasm?? Thats what my first few sentences were in the previous post.
