The Most Powerful Military Powers In The World

[fight game]

Where the hell do you get that from, when ahve we ever seen Israel in combat? Unless you consider bombing guys with AK-47s and a airport in Lebanon combat.

what are you talking about how do you bomb guys with ak47's. and israel has a history of increadible air force missions.

By size (number of troops), the top ten nations looks like this;

China
United States
India
Korea, North
Russia
Korea, South
Pakistan
Israel
Turkey
Iran

But anyone who has studied military history knows that the number of troops is a misleading measure. There are several factors that make the troops of one army more effective than others. The most obvious modifying factor is weapons and equipment (quantity and quality). Closely related to this are the “combat support” elements. The most important of these are logistics (being able to move troops, and their supplies, long distances and in a timely manner) and maintenance (keeping things in repair and running under all conditions.) Then there are the intangibles (like leadership
, training and the most intangible item of all; military tradition.) Apply all of those to the raw number of troops and you get different number. This number is called "combat power."

Top Ten By Combat Power

United States
Russia
China
Israel (only because everyone above 18 is required to serve = large reserve)
India
Korea, South
Korea, North
United Kingdom
Turkey
Pakistan

Overall, the U.S. combat power is about three times that of second place China, and ten times that of tenth place Pakistan. But another modifying factor is how you plan to use that combat power. Wars are not fought in a vacuum, but in places that often inconvenient places for one side. Most armed forces are optimized for fighting on their own borders; for defending the homeland. Only the United States is capable of quickly moving lots of combat power to anywhere on the planet. Moreover, given a few months, the United States can put enough combat power just about anywhere, and become the major military force in that neighborhood. Countries like Britain and France can move some forces to just about anywhere on the planet. But no one can put forces anywhere quite like the United States.

I used to think that America had a great military..But after iraq and the last 6yrs i dont know anymore..Im not sure what that even means to be honest..Does that mean that America's military are just a bunch of *******??
Or is that America's military is all Badass but have idiots running it??

Either way theyve been their for almost 7 years now, that sure as hell doesnt speak positive about the American Military either way u look at it..

Does anyone have a response to that?

lol like the same people america ****s with?

[Left Hook Tua]

israeli air force is the best in the world, and the idf is always on point and ready.

GTFOH with that bull****. Most of Israel's aircrafts are originally American.

israel trains their pilots and air crews very well.

probably the best trained in the world and most experienced.

their technology is obviously behind the u.s. and other european nations.

they might buy u.s. aircraft but they don't technically buy the most advanced u.s. aircraft.

their f-15's are not as advanced as some of the newer versions of the f-15 that the americans and other countries have. same thing for their f-16's.

The most important factor is mentality of the solider..
How much does he value his own life.. how much does have to lose..???

Americans sadly, suffer badly in that department..

It's all about how people are raised..

Russians mentality.. Life is cheap..
Chinese mentality.. It is good to suffer
Israel mentality.. Enemies all around me
American mentality.. Should we have Pizza or Chinese while watching 8 hours of sitcoms??

Nuff said..
