According to one source, there has been peace on our earth for only 300 years out of thousands. Conflicts on some scale have been going on, for almost, forever, whether it is on religious basis, ethnic issues or resources. Simply put, were there is man, there is bound to be war. Although wars have been avoided pretty effectively in the modern world, a country still cannot do without a military force. Today we take a look at the 7 most potent military powers in the world.

The Top 10 Military Powers of the World
Every country has the right to defend itself. Top military powers strive for excellence and maximum strike power. War is something that has been common and stuck to mankind from thousands of years. Let's discuss who are the top 10 military powers of the world as we speak.http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/313329-953-42.jpg
War! We can do without it, but mankind has proven that it can't do without going to war every now and then. Nevertheless, every country is in the continuous race and process of upgrading their own power, and all want and need to be ready to meet any eventuality. Ok, let me make it clear that this article just talks about numbers, and in no way does it truly reflect any country's capability. As we all know very well, that besides all the firepower, strategy, intelligence inputs, respective situations, etc., all play a significant part in determining the success or downfall of a nation during a war or conflict. Besides, the numbers change often, and might I add without the knowledge of many of us outside (we would be the ones in the hot seat controlling everything). Now let us have a look as to who the top 10 military powers of the world are:
[*]Top Ten Military Powers - Statistics
Being one of the world's top militaries takes a lot of doing. It is a mix of quantity and quality. Just by numbers everything can't be achieved. It has to be an overall mix of brawn and brain. In the following table we will try to look at the main aspects which determine the brute force of the world's top military powers.
RANKCOUNTRYLAND AREA (sq kms)ANNUAL DEFENSE BUDGET (USD)MILITARY PERSONNELAIR FORCE PLANESNAVY SHIPS
IUSA9,826,630$515 Billion1,385,00022,7001,600
IIChina9,596,960$59 Billion2,255,0002,400760
IIIRussia17,075,200$43 Billion1,245,0006,500525
IVIndia3,287,590$33 Billion1,325,0001,250145
VUK244,820$53 Billion195,0002,670140
VIFrance643,427$62 Billion225,0001,900135
VIIGermany357,021$46 Billion250,0001,100130
VIIIBrazil8,511,965$24 Billion287,0001,65090
IXJapan377,835$44 Billion378,0002,700150
XTurkey780,580$31 Billion514,0001,530180
And just for information sake, the next 10 military powers are Israel, South Korea, Italy, Indonesia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Egypt, Iran, Mexico, and North Korea.
The above table gives us an overview of the strengths and fire power of the top 10 military powers of the world. The chart is just to view numbers, and rankings take into consideration many aspects such as intelligence, actual combat experience, training, skill, back-up, movement of troops and weapons, etc. Also as mentioned earlier, numbers will not be absolutely accurate, as they keep changing regularly according to specific needs and situations. An interesting fact is that, out of all the countries in the world, Israel has a reserve army that can be mobilized into actual combat more quickly than anyone else. Just numbers are not enough, and this is something that can be citied in a good example in the table regarding the USA and China. Though China has an army nearly twice the size of the USA, the strike power of the USA is double that of China. This is due to many other factors as we have mentioned, like training, skill, modernized equipment, strategy, intelligence, etc. Though, it can be safely said that these are the 10 top militaries in the world as we speak.
There are also many other things that need to be taken into consideration regarding the top ten. For example, the United States indulges in combat mainly in other countries, and for the purpose of quashing terrorism, rouge armies, and peacekeeping ventures. Some countries are engaged in continuous small skirmishes with their neighbors, and are active in protecting their own borders. Nuclear weapons are also a key factor, something that has never been used since the bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. God forbid, even if a war breaks out in which multiple countries are involved, it is very unlikely that they will be used, and the war(s) will be fought in the conventional ways itself. Another aspect is type of weaponry, the advanced military weapons that a state possesses.
To get into the top 10 military powers of the world bracket is no mean task. Also, staying there is equally tough, as almost all countries and for ever engaged in bettering themselves when it comes to military defense. No one wants to be less then their immediate threat, and need to be ever so ready to face any unwanted situation. To summarize, a military war is not something simple, and best if avoided. indonesia x termasuk ker?kan negara dia terkoat diasia tggara ni.. indonesia x termasuk ker?kan negara dia terkoat diasia tggara ni..

indon kalo pemimpin x korup dah sebaris india & china dah..... tapi ape kan daya sumber banyak...tapi rakyat masih berbondong2 datang cari kerja kat sini.......:lol: Punya kuat kuasa udara TNI-AU jet2 pejuangnya hanya dibekali dengan kata2 kesat pilot sebagai senjata..sebab tak mampu beli rudal.. It would be good if the writer would include the source of his database. I think some information may be inaccurate as to fighter aircraft and ships. We all know that the USAF and USN are a distant image of what they were during the cold war. Russia is also still trying to rebuild and I am unsure as they would have such a large Frontal Aviation and Navy. The war of terror has depleted resources for the UK to maintain a strong fleet of Tornados and new acquisitions such as the Typhoon.
Your data on purchasing power is also interesting. I wonder what source. With a a population of about 1.2 billion, the purchasing power in the PRC may not be so accurate. So too with India. Every country has the right to defend itself. Top military powers strive for excellence and maximum...

Taleban Afghanistan koq gak masuk daftar?
so this list of military might only based on purchasing power and military hardware?
tidak termasuk fighting skill, tehnik, dll??
Taleban Afghanistan cuma milisi kecil dan diserbu oleh NATO(kumpulan super power),
tapi hingga kini masih tetep kuat. .....http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn226/keboedan/ngacir.gif Wowowow... kuatnya indonesia kalau mcm tu.. ape lagi, mari berdamai ya indonesia?
