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.

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.

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

Not putting Israel on that makes the list a joke.

Religious sentiment have damaged Nigerians rationality badly

Im a Christian too. It isn't that hard to admit.
Isreal does not have the kind off military power the listed countries above have. They are pretty strong too but nowhere near those guys. People actually think their military capability is very mighty because they've been dealing with those terrorists around them.
But it isn't so. Winning battles comes down to tactics and strategies, not just weapons. That is why it would be very difficult to predict who would win btw Russia and USA. USA do have the slight edge but we've seen how little armies defeated bigger armies before in the past. It comes down to who gets his strategies right, and also who launches the first attack. Isreal has been able to hush those Lil puppies around them because God gave them brains to strategize very well, it's obvious. There was even a time when Syria, Jordan, and Egypt joined together to attack isreal. But they still overpowered and won the battle despite having the lesser powers in their Arsenal. God is really with those guys ngl

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

I would rank China above Russia. Also, I am not sure what Saudi is doing there, what happened to Italy, Germany, Pakistan, even Iran self.....these are countries with a developed domestic arms industry, training and financing personnel is more of a secondary thing. Saudi has money to spend, but in a real war, it will burnout fast because it doesnt have a strong domestic arms industry.

Japan is not even allowed to have an offensive military so how did they get so high?
Pakistan, France, Britain, Israel could have filled that last spot

Former Japanese president, Shinzo Abe, made changes to the constitution so that Japan can come to the aid of an ally who is attacked.

Yeah, Japan has a pacifist constitution, but changes have been made, and it can go to war if it deems it essential for national security.

For instance, if China and the US go to war, I don't expect Japan to be neutral knowing fully well that their national security and their sovereignty over the disputed Senkaku island are tied to US role as the world's sole superpower.

And the total budget for Nigeria of 200mil plus people, is $32 billion sad. Senator Lawan was right when he said 'Nigeria is poor' but becoz of curruption.

Our defence budget is $2.1 billion USD. A country like the US spends over $700 billion USD. Imagine the difference.

Look I'm Christian. Isreal aren't on same level with France and UK, it's fact. Try researching about their militaries,you'll spot the difference.
That said, If Isreal were to fight with France or UK, it would be difficult to predict the winner.
Isreal are very strategic with the little they have. God gave them brains and he's always with them.

WHERE IS JAPAN IN YOUR LIST

Japan has modern and technologically advanced weapons than most of the nation's you mentioned.
Japan has been very powerful before the world war, such that Germany bekoned on them for help.
Japan only tactically decided to lie low and reject military involvement in external conflicts due to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic.bormbadment by the USA .
No nation will try such again with Japan and go free.
Any nation fighting Japan must be prepared for not only technological but also electronic warfare.
Please don't underate Japan because they are not making noise like others.
You did well, very informative

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.

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.





Israel knows that if it uses excessive force against Hamas, there is going to be a public outcry.

Israel is underrated. They modify American weapon systems and tell the US how well the modifications work.
