The global strategic offensive army, recognized as a superpower, is based on developed industrial and agricultural production, with good geographical environment and high national quality. With the World War II and the post-war Middle East-Southeast Asia conflict, elite troops were stationed in a large number of countries, and with their strong economic strength, they affected the political situation of many countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America. First-class space technology, with the strength of space warfare. The naval and air forces have obvious advantages, advanced operational concepts and advanced information network technology. It is characterized by preemptive strike, going deep into enemy countries to fight, nipping threats (including threats to local interests and overseas interests) in the bud, implementing a negotiation-containment policy towards China and Russia, avoiding direct combat as much as possible, implementing a policy of not being friends with other countries and attacking hostile countries as much as possible. This strategy gained more support in China after 9 1 1.

The quality of naval and air force weapons is generally ahead of the world, and the number is the sum of Western Europe and Japan.

The United States has the most advanced and largest strategic bombing group, and fighter planes are in the transition period from the third generation to the fourth generation. The third generation machine is mainly F 16C/D, and its performance is also outstanding in the third generation machine. The air force reconnaissance and early warning system is advanced and perfect.

The navy is the most powerful link in the United States, and it is in an absolute dominant position in the number of aircraft carriers and nuclear attack submarines. The number of the third-generation super hornet in active service has also reached more than 1000, which belongs to some links in the carrier battle group, such as conventional submarines and frequency-sea combat ships. Although the United States stopped using or developed late, it also maintained considerable support with the support of some allies.

Compared with European challenger and Leopard 2 series, American tanks and light armored weapons have no advantage. In particular, the durability of American-made light weapons is relatively weak, which brings some fly in the ointment to the US military. However, American-made ballistic missiles and land-based air defense systems are absolutely world-class in terms of quantity and quality.

America's weakness:

America's overseas economic interests are too huge, its contacts are too extensive, its forces appear scattered, and its military operations in some hot spots are in a quagmire. In addition, in fact, because the proportion of the tertiary industry in the United States is too large, the people do not attach importance to the production links of the industry, and the local heavy industry is insufficient, especially in electromechanical automation, and there is no advantage. Many important parts of the main weapon of the United States are produced by European companies (Japan and South Korea also have them, but mainly in Western Europe), and then assembled in the United States. If the United States loses control of Europe, it is absolutely very dangerous for it.

Because of this, it is generally said that the North Atlantic Treaty will be broken because of the weakening of Russia and the improvement of European military strength. I don't think it will ever happen from the perspective of American interests.

2. Russia

Eurasia's strategic defense forces have a good technical foundation, but the industrial and agricultural production technology is relatively backward, the domestic resources are very rich, the ability to resist sanctions and blockades is superior, the soldiers are first-class, hardworking and disciplined, and they have obvious advantages in aerospace technology. But in recent years, it has fallen behind the United States, and China is gradually approaching its level. Due to the strategic encirclement of many countries, the activities of the navy and air force are restricted.

However, the iron fist and pragmatic diplomacy of the new Russian Putin have obviously improved the domestic situation in Russia in recent years. Coupled with the strong strength of the Russian air force and army, Russia and the United States have ballistic missiles (including the best strategic missile submarines in the world) and nuclear arsenals comparable to those of the United States.

Russia is definitely a veritable second.

3. France

Global army, micro superpower, France is also the largest economic power in Europe in purchasing power. Attach importance to European defense construction, and believe that the EU must strengthen its independent defense construction and play a leading role in European security affairs. Oppose the United States' excessive involvement in Europe. Industry and agriculture are very developed and the system is complete. However, because the country is small, the population is small, and France and the west directly face the Atlantic Ocean, and the eastern and northern parts are open and easy to attack and defend, they are always very passive in the face of the British-Dutch Coalition forces and later German troops in the Hundred Years War, which has cast a lot of historical shame on the proudest nation in Western Europe.

At present, France is an independent military power within NATO, with strong combat effectiveness and flexibility, and has obvious advantages in European space technology. It can be said that ESA and Airbus, which represent the essence of European high technology, are all carried out under the leadership of France. In 2004-2005, it was more successful than the United States to control a country comparable in strength to Iraq in Africa. It is the only country except the United States and the former Soviet Union that has a "trinity" nuclear force of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, land-based strategic missiles and strategic bombers.

The French army has leclerc, one of the best tanks in the world, but it has not been tested in actual combat. It is the only country with a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier outside the United States, and its nuclear submarine and conventional submarine technology rank among the top in the world. Rafale fighter, which has been in active service for three and a half generations, has developed a ship-borne model. It is worth mentioning that the combat modules of French air and sea weapons are independently developed and produced, and their performance is not inferior to that of American weapons purchased by any American ally.

4. Britain, Britain

Britain is a country that pays attention to practical interests, and its military actions are basically based on NATO or the European Union. Because it is often the second largest ally in the war launched by the United States, it is often slandered. But there is one reason, because the war launched by the United States is actually beneficial to most countries in Western Europe, and it does not mean to be an American pug at all. Britain is rich in strategic resources and has the strongest anti-sanction ability among western European countries. Since the 1990s, Britain's aerospace, information technology, laser guidance and other high technologies have developed rapidly, and its overall strength has rebounded.

Because the British mainland has been unstable since ancient times, the British government, as a strong side, has accumulated considerable experience in intelligence warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare, plus British tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, slightly more than France. So the British army is relatively stronger. In fact, there is a gap between Britain and France in the strength of the navy and air force, which is mainly reflected in the fighters of the same level. The British air force is always installed several years later. There are always people who think that the British navy is better than the French navy, but I think this is also untenable, because Britain's two conventional light aircraft carriers are far behind the United States and France in technology. Britain also unwisely gave up conventional submarines. I think the advantages of the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea, the NATO navy and the Russian nuclear submarine are hard to show in the waters that are not too deep in European waters. Conventional submarines are useful to European countries.

5. Japan

With the key support of the United States after the war, regional armed forces have developed industrial production, complete categories and advanced technology. The output and quality of many Japanese products directly related to the military are advanced in the world, and they are capable of manufacturing weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons in a short time.

Japan has first-class conventional submarines and destroyers, and also purchased a complete shipborne weapon system from Europe and America. Its naval combat effectiveness ranks first in Asia and its anti-submarine force ranks first in the world. The Japanese fighter combination F 15J+F2, though not the best among the three generations, is always ahead of China's SU30+J 10 combination for several years in Asia. Some people think that China has ballistic missiles and ready-made nuclear forces. If American troops withdraw from Japan and China and Japan go to war, China can destroy Japan in a short time. The problem is that Japan has been importing American Patriot series air defense-interceptor missiles on a large scale for many years, and now it is allowed to produce Patriot 3. However, the number of ballistic missiles in China is limited, which may not be able to penetrate Japan's defense system. Coupled with Japan's nuclear attack prevention project, it is world-class.

However, there are many restrictions in Japan, because in terms of real strategic core technology, Japan is not as good as other major developed countries. If a fighting weapon needs a lot of European and American technology, resulting in high cost, the failure of the 90-type tank is nothing more than that. In recent years, the Japanese Self-Defense Force lacks actual combat experience, and it is difficult to make a good evaluation and promotion of its domestic weapons. Japan is poor in its own resources. If the Japanese continue to lack the ability to control resources overseas, once the United States and other major western developed countries confront them and form a resource blockade, or China's navy can achieve that ability, their self-defense forces will really have to consider whether they have the ability to defend themselves.

6. Germany

The regional military forces in Europe have strong industrial productivity and advanced technology, but they are creative because of the incomplete dual control system of the United States and France, the small and closed country and weak resistance to sanctions. Its national quality is first-class, its cultural heritage is profound, and its fighting will and tactical thinking are world-famous.

Army combat effectiveness is second to none in Europe. Its Leopard 2 series tanks and Jaguar infantry vehicles have been rated as the first in the world by many institutions, and the combat effectiveness of standard tanks, light weapons (especially anti-tank light weapons) and special forces in many European countries is also world-class. However, Germany lacks ready-made ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, and its satellite launch capability, which is very related to missile technology, is also quite weak.

Like the British Air Force, the German Air Force heavy fighter used gale fighters, while the light aircraft was a relatively backward transition from F4 to EF2000. However, the number of fighter planes of the German Air Force is not as good as that of Britain, and Britain is the first partner of the F35 project.

The German navy has world-class conventional submarines and surface ships, but no aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Lack of long-range strike capability.

7.

As a defensive army, China's economy has developed rapidly, ranking third in the world in terms of purchasing power. Citizens attach great importance to education and have strong creativity and flexibility. However, due to the lack of effective intellectual property protection, their own inventions are often used by other countries. The main high-tech often depends on the introduction of foreign property rights, and any country has many restrictions on China's technology export.

Because there are too many people and too few high-quality land, there are too many hostile forces around, and there is a lack of control over overseas resources, domestic resources are now overloaded, and their ability to resist sanctions and blockades is weak. The people are gentle, relying too much on and trusting the United Nations, pursuing the principle of being good neighbors and lacking aggression. However, due to the hard work, tenacity and profound cultural heritage of the people, when the people's right to subsistence is threatened, they can make full use of their wisdom in the war and the country can last for thousands of years.

The military sector is relatively complete, and initially has the ability of space warfare and information warfare. However, the overall scientific and technological level of the army is low, officers above the intermediate level are suspicious of reform, and the conservative forces on seniority are relatively strong. They pay more attention to political study and external formal honor than to improve the level of technical warfare.

The Army and China have Type 99 tanks, which are relatively advanced in the world, but they have just begun to slowly install a few elite troops. The main force is 59-type modified tanks, and there are also a few 88-type tanks, and light weapons have similar problems. Most soldiers have no access to China's actually more advanced anti-tank rocket launchers and grenade launchers. However, compared with European countries and Japanese, China's armored forces have obvious advantages in number. The level of ballistic missiles and intercontinental missiles of artillery units is the highest in the world, because China is backed by perfect satellite and space technology. The number of nuclear warheads ranks fifth.

China has no aircraft carrier and the number of nuclear submarines is the second in the world. However, surface ships and anti-submarine forces are weaker than Japan and obviously lag behind the world's advanced level. China Air Force fighters developed three generations of light fighters by arming Russian-made heavy fighter. The overall quality is roughly the same as that of the Japanese Air Force, but the flight guarantee rate is relatively low. The avionics and missiles of the China Air Force are mainly developed by me, so they are not so easily influenced by the international situation.

8. Italy

Obviously, it is subject to the regional armies of the United States, Europe and the Middle East, but on the one hand, because of its important strategic position, the United States focused on cultivating it after the war, making it a strong country with military strength and potential weapons productivity in the forefront of the world from a weak country with semi-division after the war. Italian military products have the advantage of meticulous workmanship.

Italy has a naval battle group centered on light aircraft carriers. The surface fleet is generally weaker than Britain and France and stronger than Germany, but the submarine manufacturing and combat effectiveness are far less than Germany.

Air Force Italy and Germany have the same level of equipment, but Italy is the second partner of F35.

The army is the weakness of the Italian army, and the armory is the number one partner of American satellite-space research and development and European experiments.

9. Israel

Small country with advanced army, both offensive and defensive, small country, bad living environment and powerful enemies around. It has been in a state of war for a long time and has no support from the international community. Citizens attach importance to education, have profound cultural heritage, adopt the national defense thought of "the whole country is a soldier", attach importance to the military without abusing force, are extremely creative in weapons and tactics, and have won many battles in the long-term war.

Originally, according to the achievements of the Israeli army in recent decades, even this pocket-sized country can rank high militarily, but Israel is mainly faced with underdeveloped countries in the Middle East, basically the Mediterranean controlled by the western navy. The strength of the Israeli navy is not strong, but the enemy cannot pose a threat to them in the ocean.

In terms of army and air force, the Israeli army is first-class. F 15I and F 16I are the most effective weapons exporters in the United States, and both were improved by the buyers themselves. Merkava series tanks have also created countless humiliations for the Russian tanks installed by the enemy.

/kloc-0 0. Sweden

Europe's defensive army, a non-NATO member, is small in scale (800W population, 480,000 square kilometers, facing a powerful neighbor like the Soviet Union and Germany), with developed military industry, independent research and mass production of advanced weapons, advocating peace and neutrality, high national quality, armed all the people, democracy, equality, honesty and self-discipline, and once it enters a state of war, it is extremely brave.

Most of the planes, ships, armored vehicles and missiles used by the Swedish Defence Force are developed and produced in China. For example, JAS-39 Gryphon, Ys-2000 and Gotland class submarines, Bill anti-tank missiles of the Army, and CV-90 series of chariots. These weapons are not inferior to the products of other big countries that are much bigger than them in the three major fields of land, sea and air.

From Sweden, we can draw a truth. Cultivating a good international reputation is based on the word "absolute armed" before armed neutrality. I may not be able to beat you, but if you beat me, you will pay a much greater price than the benefits you get.

1 1. North Korea; South Korea

Northeast Asia is an important military force, but limited by the United States and Japan, the place is narrow and the ability to resist sanctions is weak. It is a new industrial and technological power with strong national consciousness.

South Korea's navy is another country with Aegis and F 15, and South Korea also has the production capacity of F 16 fighters. South Korea produces airborne and ship-borne missiles, which is better than Japan at present, because they get more technology from western countries.

South Korea has improved the American M 1 tank according to its own national conditions. The country that was once beaten out of the water by China's army is no longer yesterday.

12. Spain

The military forces in Europe and the Middle East, similar to Italy, were once isolated by the international community and joined NATO and the European Union late. In recent years, with the support of the United States and the European Union, the navy and air force have developed rapidly, actively participating in the control of international hotspots led by the United States and France, and their sphere of influence has expanded rapidly.

Spain has a navy dominated by light aircraft carriers and Aegis systems. F 18 fighters and Tomahawk cruise missiles are enough to deter small and medium-sized backwardness. They gained a clear advantage in the territorial dispute with Morocco a few years ago.

On the army side, they also have a good Leopard 2 tank.

However, Spain's industrial level is still weaker than Italy's, so their improvement and maintenance of weapons may be slightly weaker.

13. Australia

The attacking troops are small in population and rich in resources, but Australia is not willing to live a comfortable life. It is very active to participate in various military operations with the United States, and it is indispensable in almost all places where the US military fights.

Australia is the largest overseas producer of American F 18 fighters. Unlike pacifist countries like Canada, they are constantly purchasing and using the most advanced cruise missiles and advanced avionics modules from themselves or Europe and America for their F 18, and will arm the more advanced F35 in the near future.

Australia has the most powerful naval force in the southern hemisphere. In the offensive stage of the Iraq war, it was they who blocked Iraq's territorial waters. It is worth mentioning that the two "amphibious" warships they are building now are Canberra-class, which can actually be said to be aircraft carriers, not to mention the Australian Navy's missile procurement has never fallen behind.

Australia is the only M 1A2 tank used in actual combat outside the United States.

But of course, Australia's limited population and lack of established large-scale military industrial groups are also the weakness of its military self-development.

14. Netherlands

The attacking troops followed the big countries such as the United States, Britain and France. This country can be said to have no depth at all In the past, the enemy invaded their territory many times and always fell quickly. It is in their interest to safeguard national independence many times through guerrilla warfare and protracted war behind enemy lines. They joined the European Union and NATO, actively participated in various military actions, attacked the military strength of countries that the European Union and the United States wanted to control, and controlled overseas resources.

The Netherlands is the largest manufacturer of F 16 fighters outside the United States. Through its own improvement, the F 16MLU has been upgraded to the combat effectiveness of F16c/d. It is also the only European country that has succeeded in using the F 16 fighter.

The Netherlands is a country with a relatively developed European navy, especially the research and development and production of amphibious ships, frigates and conventional submarines, which are world-class.

The regular army has always been a soft link in the Netherlands, but at present, it has purchased a large number of American Patriot 2-3 missiles through the purchase of German Leopard 2 tanks (the largest importer of German Leopard 2), which has provided a guarantee for the country to constantly "make waves" outside.

15. India

India's army is now large in scale, with a large number of people, and there are also many top-notch military equipment of the Russian army. However, the national quality of this country is relatively low, the caste hierarchy is deeply rooted, bureaucratic corruption is serious, and industry is backward. Even if the Indian army has a simple fault in its usual training, it always asks the master Russia to help repair it. And like China, the proportion of Indian weapons that can compete with the main forces of the West in land, sea and air is very small, mainly Russian weapons in the 1950s and 1960s.

Some people think of strong and brave Muslims when they see Indian faces, but most of them are Hindus and hate killing. In fact, most of the so-called Indian soldiers who were good at fighting in World War II were Sikhs or Muslims who now belong solely to Pakistanis.

At present, most Indian troops are equipped with Russian or imitation Russian equipment, especially the Air Force. But India's industrial strength makes those Russian sophisticated weapons (better than those sold to China) unable to reflect their combat effectiveness. India has an aircraft carrier, but its carrier-based system is very old. In addition, there is no carrier aircraft in India, so this carrier is useless. The question depends on when Russia will provide them in the future. On the contrary, the Indian navy has excellent guided missile cruisers and ballistic missile submarines, which is worth mentioning at present.

In recent years, China has successfully developed ballistic missiles, but the level and quantity are of course far from those of the Indian army.

16. Ukraine

Eastern Europe's defensive troops are rich in resources, superior in geographical location and solid in military industry, but lack of effective management, vacillating between the West and Russia for a long time, and lack of political opinions, which makes them slow in the subsequent military ideological and technological development. Coupled with the self-destruction of all nuclear weapons stocks and some very effective conventional weapons, Ukraine experienced many military declines from the Soviet era when it was a provincial level of the Soviet Union.

However, the production capacity of conventional weapons in the past Soviet era, as well as Ukraine's production capacity, is still well preserved in Ukraine. However, if Ukraine wants to restore its real military combat effectiveness, then the current unstable political situation will definitely not work.

17. Turkey

Defense forces in the Middle East. Turkey can be said to be the meeting point between the west and Russia, and between the west and the Middle East. They have chosen to follow the west for many years. The number of Turkish soldiers is second only to the United States in NATO countries, and the status of soldiers in their country is very high. This country is very cohesive. Yes,

At present, Turkey has a production line of F 16, but their F 16 has not been automatically upgraded as in European countries, nor can it continuously purchase new air forces as in wealthy Saudi Arabia. The strength of the Turkish navy is relatively weak, while the strength of the army is relatively strong. A large number of Leopard 2 and improved M60 form a high-low combination that is basically suitable for their military quality and economic strength.

However, Turkey's air defense and missile defense systems need long-term assistance from Western Europe and the United States.

18. Canada

Participation in NATO troops is limited, Canada is a very rich country, and its military defense is integrated with the United States. The Canadian navy and air force are close to Australia in equipment, but the combat modules of the Australian navy and air force are not upgraded so quickly. The army is also weaker than the Australian army.

19. Saudi Arabia

Looking at the quality of weapons and equipment alone, the Saudi Air Force has army and air force weapons close to Western Europe, Britain and France, but the population of Saudi Arabia is too small and the quality of the population is not high. Their army has a large number of mercenaries from other Muslim countries, and after 9 1 1, the internal disunity factors in Saudi Arabia have gradually increased.

20.brazil

Brazil's naval, land and air weapons are weaker than those of the above-mentioned 19 countries, but I think Brazil has a vast territory, relatively high national quality and relatively developed economy, and the quality of Brazilian naval personnel and air force pilots is really good. If one day the United States intervenes too much in the Eurasian war and collapses, it may take its place, and Brazil has great hope.

Because of the soft factors such as geopolitics and national quality in the United States, it is really great.
