templemount:Israel depends so much on military aid from the US. If Palestine or Syria has access to those equipment, they can easily defeat Israel. |

HigherEd:What in the hell are you on abt? If there is a full blown war it’s the nuclear Arsenals that will save them, they don’t have the personel count! Go and read abt the invasion by Nazi Germany on USSR in the winter of 1941. The Nazies had the best in everything latest tanks, planes and all but that was suppose to be an easy take of of Moscow within 3 months. The battle lasted more than 8months and they still lost! Even after killing over 5millon Russians. This invasion single handedly led to Hitlers lose of ww2. Because he lost a lot of his Arsenal! What saved the Russians? They couldn’t match the Germans in technology but they out witted them in war tactics. They had more soldiers and had terrain advantage! So in summary take away the nuclear weapons from Isreal and the backings on NATO and the US and see what will become of it within a month! Back to the topic! The list is even a gabbage list… US riding on past glory! We all saw a tread here on nairaland on how the Russians simulated a war scenario where they flew jets for over 18hrs and refueling them on air. These guys are doing more war-like drills US dey there dey argue how many LGBTQ soldiers them get. This is my list… my opinion! 1) China (they have the numbers plus tech) 2) US ( still gat some tech and tricks up their sleeves) 3) Russia ( stubborn as fvck- never lost a major war!) 4) Britain (they have the highest navy fleet and are loyal as fvck to the queen) 5) India (the underdogs + have some tech + giving china headache) Honorable mentions North Korea (crazy guys no one dares go near them) France ( use to have good navy fleets but they’re just slackers now, all they do is hide under NATO and do shht) |

sangresan:Don’t mind these clowns, they won’t do research. If you probe them further now, they will tie it to religion. Just give Iran one single nuke and see. That’s why the US will never allow any of the surrounding nations to have nuclear weapons! |

HigherEd:Stop fooling yourself. Many of Israel's near-peer adversaries are under one military sanction or the other. So, their strength is often overhyped. The 2006 Lebanon War has exposed their operational weaknesses. Besides, most of Israel's military hardware are US inventions and they always play the victim card to get more. That's the only edge they have over countries like Iran and Egypt. To show how ignorant you're, you even dismissed North Korea's military strength. Sit down and read about the Korean War. Also, read about the ongoing Yemeni War. |

sangresan:You want to talk about operational weakness. The Chinese military ran away after it invaded Vietnam - as it was loosing soldiers in tens of thousands. The Lebanese war? You dunno what you talking again. Israel bombed the crap out of Lebanese infrastructure. Hezbollah today says given the 2006 war with Israel it doesn't even look forward to any newer confrontation. "Most of Israel hardware are us invention." This is nonsense talk. You should read better. IAF is the most equipment independent nation in Asia. So you mean Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Pakistan, Morocco, Iraq and Jordan are under US sanctions? Please just go and sleep. You are super duper ignorant. Last, there's nothing whatsoever to North Korean military. It is not even a credible threat one bit. The real reason no one wants war in the peninsula are far more intricate than you know. North Korea today barely has any military system made in the past two decades. Even it's so called icbm program hasn't been perfected for many decades still. There are active embargos on them even purchasing weapons. You could fly F35 into Pyongyang and North Korea wouldn't even know anything entered her airspace. It's economy is just about that of Congo. Or do you think warfare is about a group of soldiers marching as though they were robots lol. |

lapazi:Go and do research and tell me how much money US gives Egypt and Pakistan lol. With or without US aid. Israel still spends the equivalent of your national budget on its military and would do very well. |

HigherEd:What are you even saying, how can you even bring Nigeria into this discussion? A country where rag tags on foot invaded one of its top military base and carted away with cows? Guy no mention my post again I dey vex! |

lapazi:I'm sure it was the Nuclear weapons or Nato that saved Israel during the six days war, or even during the war of attrition in 1973. If the Arabs come in 1-3 nations at a time Israel would defeat them. If they come in more than 3s then they deserve to be nuked . Turkey is a member of nato. Let it try go after Israel and let's see what would happen. |

HigherEd:I wonder what kind of "modern warfare" would warrant such analysis from you. We are talking about full-blown war here bro and size DOES matter here unless you are going to include the allies of Israel into the mix. Even with their superior technology, Israel doesn't have the numbers to beat India and let's not ignore the fact that India is also an impressive producer of weapons and they are nuclear armed too. So far, there's nothing to prove or disprove North Korea's capability so I wonder what made you so confidently dismiss them like that. The last time I checked, USA wouldn't have taken half of what Kim Jong Un did in 2016 if it had come from a weaker country. Let's not forget the Iraq war and why it was fought |

HigherEd:I think you are actually the one parroting things here, because you are using that same old mentality of assuming everything from China is fake. Like it or not, almost everything we have today is "stolen" technology. And if it's that easy to steal, then why can't your country steal the technologies too? . Granted, China doesn't spend much on war machinery but again, the way you so easily dismiss countries is laughable. China's mass production ability is a serious thing to be reckoned with, and don't forget that many countries that dare to boycott American weapons get threats of sanctions. India and even Saudi Arabia were once criticized by USA for wanting to purchase the S400. In fact, an Indian general even had to warn them. Lastly, talking about fake weapons, why don't we start talking about the American allies that have complained about the F-35s? ![]() |

Nigeriadondie:Who overrated it? Don't try the Israeli military. They are always ready to give it to anyone that tries them. Ask the Arabs what they saw in the hands of that small country. |

LordVoldermort:Military power properly defined is the ability to effectively and efficiently defend and maintain territorial integrity. It is not necessarily the ability to attack and pillory others. The germaine is- can you maintain territory! That is one reason peace keeping ops are relevant world over. |

NewDelhi:ur reference 'not found' however, I will like to tell u that following d killing of Iran's top General, the plan was for them to hit back at both US and Israel targets. Strangely, they opted out of striking Israel, any reason for that? |
| Re: 5 Countries With The Most Powerful Militaries In The World! by templemount: 10:55am On Jun 26, 2021 |
sangresan:yes Israeli has access to US military hardware but one thing that makes them outstanding is not those equipment but the morale of the personnel (Israeli soldiers).In 1967,abdel nasser ofwas Egypt was in possession of sophisticated russian weapons but Israel destroyed and defeated them in 6days.My point here is that the soldiers themselves are good to go |
