20 Most Powerful Military In The World... (including Nigeria Military Info) by TimmyPapa(m): 8:39am It is becoming more and more necessary for countries to maintain their military presence as it looks like that the world is displaying an ever-growing level of tension between the greatest powers on earth. We've created a list to compare the top 20 militaries according to the Global Firepower Index. The ranking was released in April (before events like the Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine in August, ISIS's blitz through Iraq, and the flare-up between Israel and Hamas) and involves a complex set of data that is subject to ongoing adjustments and corrections. 20. Thailand Thailand is in the middle of the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia. The Royal Thai Armed Forces are built up of the Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Navy and the Royal Thai Air Force. Active Soldiers 310,000 and 245,000 reserves. Air craft 551 Tanks 722 Sea vessels 81. Air craft Carrier 1 Submarines 0 Budget $5.4 billion 19. Taiwan Taiwan is part of the Republic of China (not to be confused with the People’s Republic of China). The military situation in Taiwan is a surprising one considering that it is one of the smaller nations on this list. The Republic of China’s army took inspiration from the National Revolutionary Army. Active Soldiers 1,975,000 Tanks 2005 Aircraft 815 Submarines 4 Aircraft carrier 0 Egypt made the 20 list Get the full list here and see details of Nigeria army https://afro9jaland..com.ng/2017/11/20-most-powerful-militaries-in-world.html Also read Countries With The Worst Reputation https://afro9jaland..com.ng/2017/11/16-countries-with-worst-reputation-in.html |
