amiskurie: this one is nt accurate,I could remember the only submarine india operates is hired frm russia.why would they rate india above russia.that's more than weirdo! is abt number of military personnel not military technology. if it was to b military technology I think Russia will come second after US follow by d lyk of Germany ... |

Aifey: u don't realy kn abut weapons. Russians produce d best air n airial missiles in d world. Ak 47 is there own n nw china is also producin it. What is Ak47 when there are far better M16, M14 rippers. I cant argue with you jor. Go for basic understanding of weaponry. airial missiles? You are joking right? Even Israeli missile system can compete with Russia. Dont even talk about America. Hissing |

How much does the " Giant of Africa" spend on military? I think Nigeria would've made that list, if we started thinking ahead early. Till now, we are still sleeping . |
| Re: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Emperor007: 12:57pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
Present military might is not about numbers though, is about military intelligence and technology. " Giant of Africa" please arise . |

Interesting stuff... I heard naija has only about 120,000 military personnel??  That's too small for a country like Nigeria.. Perhaps, that's why we're irrelevant in the world and everyone keeps stealing our oil... We should have nothing less than 500,000 servicemen and reservists... Heck, I'll like to join the naija army as a reservist..  |
| Re: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Nobody: 1:34pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
Nigeria would have been in the list if IGBOs still have military control, with the intelligence propagated during the civil war and manufacturing weapons, I bet you Nigeria would have gone far. and you know we have the population only that Abokis have made the Nigerian army their livelihood with so many zombies in the military to the extent that ordinary congo rebels wipe their as$ |

Here is some valid information due to recent estimations and studies. You are welcome to list your own countries if you prefer to believe what comes from your head, but if you are a student or willing to find valid information this will be your first step. 1. South Africa: South Africa (South Africa has the most powerful army in Africa; it has more harmful weapons than any other country in Africa; it is the only African country that was trying to create the Nuclear weapon but was stopped by the US. The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) this includes: South African Army, South African Navy, South African Air Force and South African Military Health Service. South Africa has recently lower their budge on army from $7.21 billion 2003 to nearly $4 billion 2011. Trained by Israeli, and British, South African solders are more armed and more trained than any other country's soldiers. 2. Egypt: According to recent study, Egypt is considered to be the second most powerful country in Africa. For many years Egypt has been the first strongest country in the continent of Africa. With number of troops exceed that of South Africa, and more suppliers from countries such as United States, Russia, France, China, Italy and United Kingdom, political instability has made an affect to Egyptian Armed Forces. This includes Egyptian Army, Egyptian Navy, Egyptian Air Force and Egyptian Air Defense Command. Egypt has increased their Armed Forces budget from $3.9 billion to $5.85 billion within the last five years. 3. Libya: 4. Morocco: 5. Nigeria: Nigeria has the second largest army by number of troops, but due to political instability and lack of equipment Nigeria has appear to be the 5th strongest country in Africa. It has been estimated that in year 2013-2018 Nigeria may get weaker. 6. Tanzania: Tanzania has the most powerful army in East Africa; The Tanzania Peoples' Defence Force (TPDF) (Swahili: Jeshi la Wananchi wa Tanzania (JWTZ) the one defeated Idi Amin of Uganda with big help form Muammar Al-Gaddafi of Libya and . The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) The Tanzania People' Defence Force includes Land Forces Command, Naval Command, Air Force Command, and Military Intelligence. Julius Kambarage Nyerere (The first Tanzania's President) prepared president Laurent Desire Kabila of DR Congo to take over the powerful Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Ngbendu WA Zabanga; also prepared his son Joseph Kabila. Tanzania has trained Congolese solders in Tabora and Kigoma region for Kabila to return in Congo and take over power. Both Kabilas father and son were schooled and lived most of their lives in Tanzania before returning to Congo. Tanzania Also prepared Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who also schooled and lived in Tanzania before the Tanzania and Uganda war that resulted in defeating Dictator Idi Amin. Most Uganda leader got help from Tanzania before becoming leaders. This includes: Tito Lutwa Okello, Yusuf Kironde Lule, and Bazilio Olara-Okello. Recently, Tanzania did not want to send his solders in Somalia but offer training to Somali solders who will soon return to protect their country. Tanzania sent 924 soldiers to lead the African Union Solders in Comoros's Island to take Colonel Mohamed Bacar of Anjouan off power. Tanzania has the 3rd largest army in number troops after Ethiopia, and Eritrea, and recently considered the second in equipment after Kenya, but with more well trained troops. The recent estimation shows that Tanzania is the country in East-Africa followed by Ethiopia. 7. Ethiopia: Ethiopia once was considered the strongest country in East Africa. After continues civil war Ethiopia has gotten weaker. Ethiopia is still has the largest army by number of troops followed by Eritrea and Tanzania, and the 3rd in equipment after Kenya and Tanzania. 2011 Estimation shows, Ethiopia is spending 2.4% of its GDP in military. This includes: Ethiopia Army and Ethiopia Air Force. 8. Ghana: 9. Kenya: Kenya is the second strongest Nation in East Africa Economically after Ethiopia; it is the first in East African Community followed by Tanzania and Uganda. In 1981 Kenya was consider to be the 4th strongest nation in East Africa after Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Somalia. In 1994 Kenya was considered the 3rd strongest country in East Africa after Somalia and Uganda having both economic and political instability caused by war and dictatorship. The estimation indicates that Kenya will get even stronger within next 5-10 years. Kenya has the higher army budget in East Africa followed by Ethiopia. 2012 estimation shows Kenya is using 5.3% of its GDP in military. This includes: Kenya Army, Kenya Navy and Kenya Air Force. 10. Uganda: Rate This Answer source:www.wikianswers.com In my own opinon this ranking is soo wrong...if south africa, egypt and co are ranked above Nigeria, why are we the only African country that keeps sending our military personals to help restore peace in other troubled regions in Africa? in my own opinion, being the strongest military shouldn't be about 'them have' but it should be about action; and Nigeria has shown that in countless occasions. |
| Re: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Nobody: 1:35pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
You have to rate the Chinese... That's the only country on that list(except probably Pakistan) that has taken on a second rate country(India) in a war... |
| Re: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by solomon111(m): 1:38pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
It would actually look inappropriate if we were in the top 10. Nigeria is not at war with any country and do not need such huge force. Besides,those countries have very huge GDPs,so they can afford to fund any number of military personells. As Nigeria GDP grows,the number of military personnells would increase. |

Are Igbos naturally more motivated?? The army isn't just being mentally up there - it requires more than that... You have to be motivated, brave, and be natural warriors with vast generational experience in wars and war tactics - that's what separates Asians and Russians from the rest of the world... We all know how brave and motivated the Japanese, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Vietnamese are... Even the yanks aren't as brave and motivated as these people... |

hotwax:America is significantly behind Russia in missile technology. Russia has the best missile tech in the world. Have you heard of the 'iskander' missiles?. They are far sophisticated than anything the US has to offer currently. They can penetrate any missile defence system in the world. |

solomon111: America is significantly behind Russia in missile technology. Tell 'em, bruddah... The iskander missile is already superior to America's patriot missile... Don't even let's start talking about the big Satan(RS-20B Voyevoda) which the Israelis saw and thought was a UFO... |

These countries have patriotic military....Nigeria military's main aim is to go for UN Peacekeeping to collect allowee. Period! No great country is peace-loving. How else are they going to test their weapons? North Korea, Syria, etc. are constantly popping off. China and her tiny neighbours are always fighting or threatening one another. USA (the baba) is quick to go to any volatile region and maintain a presence. Take a look at India and Pakistan. Israel and Iran. Battle of Supremacy! While Nigeria military is busy running like chicken each time Cameroun barks. To be great in this world, you have to be a bully even if it is subtle. UP USA! We will kick some a_s if... So all you f__king countries better watch out. Imagine these heading to Abuja...GEJ will shit his pants!!!  |

solomon111: America is significantly behind Russia in missile technology. Iskander is a long range missile that can multply and target multiple points. America has the best Missile shield in the world and its freaking Russia out. America wanted to position it in Polland behind Russia, Russia protested. Russia iskander is a old technology dated as far back as 80, although was upgraded in 90's. However, American missile systems, kits, missile delivery system is far beyond this earth. Americans are competing with Aliens not RUssia cuz Russians are behind in Missile system. Patrots missile, hellfire are more intelligent than iskander. Have you heard of Ordnance Penetrator Bomb built last month? Russsians cant even digg that. Israeli Arrow missile is better than iskander if made long range. The only good thing about iskander is its long range and ability to deliver high-payload. It can be shut down with conventional batteries. Need I say more about warplanes? |

hotwax: Don't mind these people. USA is the shiznit! $700 billion annually for military..which is by far bigger than those of the next twenty countries combined. Russia has nothing on USA. If USA opens up her classified military vault... ENOUGH said already. THIS IS JUST TOY compared to what my boys in USA military can do.  |
| Re: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Nobody: 2:30pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
The yanks love visual graphics - however when it's time to get busy and fight, they start shaking and dropping bombs everywhere... And they always end up running like little scared bishes...  You need more than big guns to win a war - you need war tactics and a damn brave heart... You need to be motivated as well... These are qualities the yanks lack - they're so emotional, immature, and unstable... The shoot first and think later... |
