Look at countries with nuclear weapons and strong military if you want to find out who has the most powerful military. These countries have superior forces, and can easily destroy any country. Of course, these countries aren't the only ones that can destroy countries in no time. France, India, China and China all have strong military forces. Pakistan is not far behind these countries, but it doesn’t have strong nuclear powers like France.
China
China has one the most advanced military forces anywhere in the world. They can carry out long-range airborne and reconnaissance missions, as well as amphibious operation. Their air force ranks as the largest in Asia-Pacific, and their submarines have the capability to launch nuclear-armed rockets. China is a key player in South China Sea. It has also developed its own submarines capable of firing on foreign vessels.
France
France may not have the largest army in the world but it does possess some of the best weapons and most sophisticated military equipment. France's armed forces consist of 57% soldiers, 19% Air Force, 16% Navy, and 1.3% Gendarmes. France is home to more than 120 Leclerc tanks, two helicopter carriers, and seventy-one fighter jets. French military is also the most wealthy in the world.
Israel
The Israeli Defense Forces have a high technological level and are ranked among the world's best. With American assistance, they have developed laser technology and anti-missile missiles as well as anti-aircraft weapons.
Iran
Iranian military capabilities are impressive, but its lack of power projection capabilities and expeditionary warfare capabilities severely limits it. It has not been able to seize territory from hostile countries, although it has deployed forces to neighbouring countries like Syria. Its fleet is mostly made up of C-130 transport planes, which makes it vulnerable to modern air force.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's military is the world's largest, with around a third spending the entire world's defense budget in 2017. Riyadh was third in the world for defense spending as of 2017. However, defense budgets only tell a part of the story. For a country to rank its military capabilities, it must evaluate the quality of their weaponry, missile range, training and alliances, as well as the manpower and strength of local defense industries.
Turkey
Turkey ranks tenth in the world for military strength. Despite being in a war zone, its military is much stronger than those of many western powers. The Turkish Armed Forces, which is the second largest in NATO, also have a very effective air force. The Turkish Armed Forces have over 250 F-16s, Awacs, and tankers and cargo aircrafts. It is currently involved in the F 35 program and has started to develop fifth-generation fighters.
United States
The United States ranks among the top nations in terms of military power. It has many advantages over the rest, including vast resources. It is a growing global power that has the most educated population and leads the way in technology and finance. In addition, it leads a system of partnerships and alliances that spans the globe, comprising 60 countries that represent two-thirds of the world's population and military capacity.
