Black person, Saudi soldiers are so fricking incompetent and lazy that the Houthis regularly stomp them in one-on-one fights.
I've seen at least a half-dozen videos where Houthis walk up to their basecamps in broad daylight, catch them completely by surprise, and slaughter them because no on was doing sentry duty.

Kek that’s hilarious. Do you have any links? Or where did you find these?
>Russia is still second >not only are they still in second, their rating has INCREASED
Are they having a laugh? Do they release these at the beginning of the year or something?
>Russia moves way down the list, between poland and Iran >Taiwan goes to the bottom of the list, it is in no shape to fight >France and India swap places, France is one of the few nations to still get shit done abroad >South Korea should rank much higher, between Japan and Germany for sure >better yet, push Germany down below Egypt. The money and metal may be there, but the will to use it is not
Thats not all of it, just the points that stood out. Above all, ranking Russia anywhere in the top 20 after the shitshow we've seen so far is just a bad joke.
You could say this is a fairly good ranking by how well countries could defend their sovereignty with military force. However I think when you take force projection into account, which is likely the more relevant metric in many contexts, I would give more weight to GB and France and attach an anchor to countries like India and North Korea.
This rank never held true. It for instance places Brazil on a better position than Poland and as a Brazilian I can tell you that this is completely horseshit.
I would put Britain and France above China. Both of them have more force projection capability, not to mention militaries with actual experience and competence. In fact, India's military probably currently has more power than China's, though not for long.
Pakistan, Brazil and Egypt ahead of Turkey?
Egypt has been humiliated by Turkey in Libya, and Pakistan in recent years has turned to Turkey for weapons and assistance.
Brazil doesn't even fight real wars with anyone. Egypt should be lower than Iran, and I don't consider India to be #4 either.
Pakistan has nukes. And a bigger army. That changes things. Turkish army is small it's navy is non-existent. Air force and drones is the only strong portion. Majority of the pakistani hardware comes from China not turkey. It's only drone exports where the turks have been successful.
>Turkish army is small
No it isn't.
Turkish military is one of the largest in the world. It has less troops than Pakistan, but Turkish troops have real armored vehicles and protection, unlike Pakistani troops who ride around in pickup trucks with add-on walls and most troops wear no armored vests.
>it's navy is non-existent.
Turkey has more corvettes, frigates and submarines than Pakistan has. It also just built an LHD this year. Turkey has been making ships for Pakistan, including 4 corvettes. Turkey builds ships for multiple countries including Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Nigeria, India, etc.
>Majority of the pakistani hardware comes from China not turkey.
I know. That's why I said in recent years, not all time. Drones are not the only thing Pakistan has been buying: helicopters, ships, and small arms as well.
Pakistani military is filled with Chinese junk. POF did an expo a few years ago where they put black polymer furniture on a Type 56 and was falsely advertising it as an AK-103, even though it had none of its design features.
POF also buys Turkish pistols and rebrands them. The so-called POF X is a Girsan Regard Gen.2. Pakistan is the 10th largest importer of weapons, but doesn't rank in the Top 25 exporters.
Turkish army is quite pathetic, actually. I'm saying this as a Turk. Most of ours tanks are M48s and other armored vehicles are local designs of dubious quality.
>Turkish army is quite pathetic, actually. I'm saying this as a Turk. Most of ours tanks are M48s and other armored vehicles are local designs of dubious quality.
It's better than Pakistan's, and who cares what you personally think? Turkey makes armored vehicles and exports them globally, Pakistan doesn't.
just another proof that most analysts are fricking worthless, I bet the only thing they do is taking official state provided stats and put them into an Excel sheet, thats their "analysis" lmao, having poos, chinks or fricking Egypt so high is a joke
>Canada being that high
Lmao, as a Leaf I can safely say our army fricking sucks. Not for any faults of the individual training, or the quality of the individual soldier, but for the utter shitpile that is command and in the government for not acquiring new gear. I mean ffs the last time Canada had an impactful update to their armed forces was back in the early 2000's. Since then, it's been crickets.
Russia Rank 22.
holy frick poland is actually on the list
...and it will go higher
sky is the limit
You and your pathetic country can literally do nothing except get rolled over.
Cope.
Holy cope
they can also ask for gibs and insult the people that hand them the gibs at the same time.
>north korea better than saudi arabia
interesting
Even an underfed asiatic is a better soldier than the most powerful arab.
>arabia
There's the keyword, wouldn't doubt that Norks actually know how to use and maintain their equipment compared to any arab country.
Black person, Saudi soldiers are so fricking incompetent and lazy that the Houthis regularly stomp them in one-on-one fights.

>Saudi soldiers are so fricking incompetent
Saudi soldiers don't exist, they're using mercenaries because why fight when you can pay someone to fight for you ?
Arabs are lazy and untrustworthy. Every Arab is surrounded with American or European bodyguards, not their own lazy kind.
Global firepower is in no way accurate
No. Because that ranking is from many years ago
Here’s 2022:

Mon dieu

GlobalFirepower has always been a joke. Russia is not a number two anything.
Probably should be ranked below Japan.
Drop down Russia to below whatever rank Ukraine is at. Bump Turkey up to number 7.

>NATO
>a group of rich countries
>doesn't count as an independent army..
keep coping homosexual
It never did
Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, Vietnam, Brazil, Iran, North Korea, Canada all way too high
>Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, Vietnam, Brazil, Iran, North Korea, Canada all way too high
India is too high, and Iran is too low.
Egypt should be lower than Pakistan, and Indonesia should be lower than Israel.
On what planet is Egypt and Indonesia better than Iran.
>Australia below Taiwan
Ausbros we down bad
>Russia
>India
LMAO. This is Global Firepower based isn't it?
>lower number better
This is the worst fricking format because rubes will see this and think "wow, America is THAT low?"
>t. rube

> In fact, India's military probably currently has more power than China's, though not for long.
Lol no, I fricking hate China but China to India is essentially US to Mexico
India has a space program that doesn't suck, which is more than can be said for Mexico
Mexico has more utilized toilets.
Gtfo poo
how is India's territorial integrity coming? have they lost any territory to criminal gangs lately?
> how is India's territorial integrity coming
China took more land.
Although with the deescalation agreement signed recently, this might be reversed.
ah that's good, doing better than Mexico
India about to find out what losing 1/3 of its fresh water feels like once China dams and diverts the headwaters for its rivers
moron

Its not my rankings, its GFP (Swedish company) rankings as of 2022, the op posted something from over a decade ago and is an obvious fakenews troll

Holy frick Germany only a few points above Australia. The frick
put Russia below Canada
Canada shouldn’t be on the this. If you kill your enemies you lose
Russia moves down to #26
Ukraine moves up to #10
Rank doesn't matter. Likely performance in reasonably probable conflicts matters. Rank does not win or lose wars.
>india number 4
lulwut

always has been
Why does NATO get a mention but CSTO doesn't?
Remove from the top 10 :
>Russia, China, India, Turkey, Germany
Put France and UK on the same level, or UK slightly ahead
>AUSTRALIA
>ASIA
A Black person made that chart?
It's old too. Australia is ranked 17th.
The gap between the US and Russia/China/India needs to be BIGGER.
Everything needs to be recalculated based on how much russian metal makes up their inventory
Russians and Ukrainians just say VSRF is the world's 200th army, as in 200 for KIA
Russia should be below Pakistan that's for sure.
These are old you fricking idiot.
The Taliban beat the US so they should naturally be number 1
