So India has better military than Germany

I can see that many of you need to read more.

The German Army is no match for the Indian Army. The German Army is living on past glories.

Many of you need to read about the Indian Army.

Enter this website, select any country you want, and hit the "compare" button to compare their military with Japan. You would be shocked
I did this and by comparison UK and France fared poorly (unless you added atomic bombs) but Pakistan is far better than Japan

There's nothing you can't see on nairaland. Israel more powerful than China in aerial combat cheesy

I need your brand of weed
Many of you come online to parrot things you know little about.

How is Chiña's airforce superb? Please tell me. In case you don't know the vast majority of Chiña's most current fleet where based on stolen and improperly developed tech. They are chinko planes. Reason you don't see many countries lining up to buy them! They buy Russian Sukhois, US F series, French Dassault Rafales, Eurofighter typhoons. Even China buys lots of Russian made weapons to make up for its own inferior product line.

That's not even an accurate comparison. Out of the so-called $2.1 billion USD budgeted, at least $1.5 billion would go to private pockets of corrupt military fat cats, politicians and Middle Men. Whatever is left is what you should compare to anything else.

Very true.

So in your mind, Israel is more powerful than India, and Saudi Arabia is more powerful than the likes of Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea. Lol
India is a strong force. Yes. But it's major strength is her size which becomes less important in modern warfare.
Most military confrontation in today's world would be fought on air or sea. Not on land.

India air Force is no match for Israel's believe it or not.
Yes, Saudi is controversial in that they lack battle experience. But hey, they are the fourth largest spenders on military equipment globally for sometime now.
That counts for a lot of massive fire power. They have outperform anyone in Asia on fire power. Whether they can convert that to a win is yet to be seen.

There's nothing to North korea, leave all that bragaddocio Kim makes. A country where half the army are suffering from hunger lol.

Huh I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Israel's airforce is the fourth to fifth best in the world. Matches the French or British airforce. And can infact significantly defeat the Chinese airforce in aerial combat because it has a better fleet of well performing American fighter jets that has been even enhanced by Israeli engineers. Infact the only adversaries that convincingly beat the Israeli airforce is Russia and USA. But mind you, during the war of attrition at Sinai, it did overpower Soviet airforce.

Infact Israel has a better understanding of US made fighter jets lol because it is always
illegally invading and evading Syrian and Iranian airspace and frequently encounters live Russian systems and knows which ones are really a threat unlike US airforce that can only predict by theory.

Remains one of the five countries in the world that can shoot out a satellite from space. And the only country that can shoot a dangerous incoming nuclear powered ICBM even before it reenters Earth's atmosphere with it's Arrow3 system.

Has the best integrated air defense system in the world. Protected at 2500km by Arrow3, Arrow2 at 1500km, David Sling at 250km, Iron Dome at 70km and newly Iron Beam (laser tech to complement iron dome). Lastly, the Barack8 jointly designed with India protects it's shores.

Heard of Heron Drone? The fifth best UAV in the world is the best in the middle East, only Turkey can mildly compete with drone technology.

Heard of it's Merkava tank? They are the only indigenous tank specifically built for the middle East terrain. You don't want to see that sh*t in battle. Israel's enemies mostly use American tanks that are not suitable for that terrain.

Heard of its Air To Surface Missile, the "Delilah" tasked within destroying a nations air defense system before Israel's airforce swarms an airspace. It would take out the best Russian S500,400 and 300.

Israel's JerichoIII surface to air can strike targets as far as Abuja, Capetown, Alaska. Anywhere in the world really. Her land forces are some of the best trained in the world with a large supply of well trained reservists to make for the small numbers.

Her Shateyetet special forces are just as good as US Navy seals or Delta force.

The only average segment of Israeli Military is the Navy. This is because Israel's military doctrine is defensive not offensive. And israels problems can mostly come aerially and from land. Not sea.

Not putting Israel on that makes the list a perfect joke.
Many of you measure Israel's military with her crisis with Gaza. Not knowing it is only handling Hamas with kid gloves. Let Iran directly try nonsense that day you would see premium tears in the middle East.




You are quite knowledgeable with the state of Israel defence systems.
I have read about them recently. I do like the way you made your points though.
Your post reminds me of book I read about Mossad few weeks ago.

Glad you did not include one armed forces in one sub Saharan African country that specializes in killing it’s country’s youths because the youths reject the political structure and constitution created by soldiers from one region of the country; the government refuses to listen to yearnings to restructure the unjust political system; the youths took to secessionist moves from the country; the armed forces are now being used by a section of the country holding apex political power, to massacre the dissenting youths.

The only reason Isreal is standing there is because of their nuclear arsenals, that’s why they’d never agree for any other country to have it in that region.

Lol bro i wonder.
Japan is an untested military. I'd even rank South Korea ahead of them.

In reality if you rank them by equipment, size, tech, experience I'd say it goes thus.

1) USA
2) Russia
3) China
4) Britain
5) France
6) Israel
7) India
cool Turkey
9) South Korea
10) Saudi Arabia

Some of you quoting Japan smh. Know this, Japan and Germany both currently suffer national PTSD from the consequences of the nuclear attack on Japan and regrets of the Germans during world war 2. Therefore their countries have limited hugely military advancement. Japanese troops are not even allowed foreign deployment hence don't have combat experience for more than 50 years now.


That you even put Saudi Arabia in the top 10 shows you don't know anything.
