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.

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.

The German people and the Japanese people are formidable nonetheless.

Ayo2004:

So India has better military than Germany

If I am to be honest. It's debatable considering some factors... But by sheer size, asset volume(some), production capacity and triving industries India deserves to be there and besides.

But it's the quality of Germans though and other alliances
However, right now it Indian is levelling up greatly.
In fact, if smaller Japan could overrun Chinese territories and hold occupation for years then it's certainly possible that India hold that position mainly because of size and capacity for home production... But the Germans amazed alot of seemly bigger countries with their tech and manufacturing prowess while meeting critical deadlines for so long as the WW lasted.

Isreal have fought wars, not just with Hamas. The 6 day war, Yom Kippur war, war of attrition.

Apart from the US, I don't think there is any other country that has been involved in more wars and conflicts than Isreal. Even the UK, france and Germany, how many conflicts have they fought individually, without NATO involvement?
ok.

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

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.
