That's not too late to list top-10 military list. In world's strongest list.
Here are my top-10:
1.China - Over 2 million man
2.Iran - 545 000 troop size
3.Israel - 182 000 troop size
4.Japan
5.USA
6.Russia
7.France - 221 900 troop size
8.UK
9.Chile - can fights effectivy in war defence with 86000 troop size
10.Turkey
Chile and Finland are two identity military Power and Finland have killed big Soldiers of Soviet in winter war.
Turkey are stronger than Germany and Finland today.
Really, Israel is number 3 in the world? lmao
If we are just going with numbers, USA would be number two (1,429,995 in 2013), Russia number 3 (1,400,000 in 2012), and then North Korea who also have a million at arms. As far as quality, Russia's military is mostly conscripts still, though there are many more contract units now.
They aren't the top in the world IMHO But, did alright against NATO-trained Georgian troops
(and contrary to all the propaganda, the numbers on both sides were relatively the same, a dozen thousands each)
lol Gotta love that, eh? Mounting a wheeled artillery piece onto a BTR hehe Only in Russia.
In the end, the proud Georgian Army ended up on its knees, literally
I am pretty certain they could at least beat Israel too, if needed.
But not big NATO countries, especially if they all fought together.
