“The ranking does not simply rely on the total number of weapons available to any one country but rather focuses on weapon diversity within the number totals to provide a better balance of firepower available. Geographical factors, logistical flexibility, natural resources and local industry influence the final ranking. Available manpower is a key consideration; nations with large populations tend to rank higher. Current political or military leadership is not taken into account”, APA reported citing Global Fire Power portal.
For 2017 there are a total of 133 countries included in the GFP database.
The U.S, Russia, China, India, France, Great Britain, Japan, Turkey, Germany and Egypt ranked the top ten.
