Most powerful militaries in the world
An annual ranking that assesses nations’ armed forces has revealed the most powerful militaries in the world.

The ranking is based on data collected from the Global Firepower Index (GFI) and Credit Suisse.

Both studies focused on the number of available manpower, active aircraft carriers, naval power, land systems, resources, logistics, finances, and geography covered.

Analysts also focused on weapon diversity (i.e. fielding 100 minesweepers does not equal the strategic and tactical value of fielding 10 aircraft carriers).

Among the findings:
-The United States has the best-equipped military on the planet.

-Both Russia & China have been modernizing their armed forces, and while their equipment still lags behind top-end American technology, experts say the gap is closing. More so in 2021

-The French military is larger and arguably more capable than its traditional British rival however this is also changing.

-Italy is stronger than Germany in every area, from aircraft and land forces to seapower.
