Look at those countries that have strong military and nuclear weapons if you are looking for the best military. These countries have superior forces, and can easily destroy any country. These countries aren’t necessarily the only ones that have the ability to destroy entire countries at once. France, India and China all boast advanced 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 are capable of amphibious, long-range and airborne operations as well reconnaissance. Their air force is the largest in the Asia-Pacific region and their submarines are capable of launching nuclear-armed missiles. China is a major player within the South China Sea. China has its own submarines which can fire on foreign ships.
France
France is not the country with the largest military force in the world. However, it has some the most advanced weapons systems and equipment. Its armed forces comprise 57 percent army personnel, 19 percent air force, 16 percent navy, and 1.3 percent gendarmes. France has more than 120 Leclerc tank, two helicopter carriers and seventy-one combat jets. The French military is also one of the most highly funded in the world.
Israel
The Israeli Defense Forces boast a high level of technological capability and are considered one of the most advanced in the world. With American assistance they have developed laser technology as well anti-missile and antiaircraft weapons.
Iran
While Iran's military capabilities are impressive and it has strong expeditionary warfare capabilities and power projection capabilities, it is severely restricted by these capabilities. While it has had some success in sending forces to Syria, its ability to seize hostile territory has not been proven. Its fleet mostly consists of C-130 transport aviation, making it vulnerable for modern air forces.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's military, which spent around a quarter of the global defense budget in 2017, is the largest. Riyadh held the third highest defense budget, at $33 billion in 2017. But defense budgets tell only 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 number ten worldwide in terms of military strength. Despite being in a war zone, its military is much stronger than those of many western powers. The Turkish Armed Forces are the second largest in NATO and have an extremely effective air force. The Turkish Armed Forces have over 250 F-16s, Awacs, and tankers and cargo aircrafts. It is part of the F 35 project, and has begun to develop fifth-generation fighters.
United States
When it comes to military strength, the United States is among the most powerful in the world. It has many advantages and vast resources that are unmatched by its counterparts. It is a world-leading economic power with the highest level of education and finance. It also leads a network of alliances and partnerships that spans the globe. These include 60 countries, which together make up two-thirds (or more) of the world's population.
