These Are The Strongest Militaries In The World

这些是全世界最强大的军队

While an all-out battle may be the only way to truly determine which country has the strongest military, hopefully, we’ll never have to find out. Battle aside, how does someone determine who has the most powerful military in the world? Is it the number of soldiers in a country’s militia? Or the types of technology a country has built to defend itself? Or perhaps their military spending budget? Considering the aforementioned factors, resources like Global Fire Power, The Credit Suisse Report, and Nation Master, have allowed us to rank worldwide military powers with a good level of certainty.

虽然只有用一场全面战争，才可能确定哪个国家拥有最强的军事力量，但希望我们永远不要用这样的方式得出结果。抛开战争，我们要如何确定哪国拥有世界上最强大的军队？是一个国家国民的士兵人数吗？还是一个国家为自卫而建立的技术类型？或者他们的军费开支？虑到上述因素，全球火力网站、瑞士信贷报告和国家大师网站等资源使我们能够很好地确定全球军事强国的排名。

Read on to see which countries made the list of the most powerful in the world, leading up to the strongest. A few of them will definitely surprise you. See which small island country has more than 1.6 million soldiers in reserve.

继续阅读，看看哪些国家登上了世界上最强大的国家之列，领导着最强大的军队。其中一些肯定会让你大吃一惊。看看哪个小小的岛屿国家拥有超过一百六十万的预备役军人。

Peru

秘鲁



For a country with just 30 million people, the military at Peru is rather sizeable with 100,000 active personnel and 268,000 reservists waiting to serve at a moments notice.

对于一个只有3000万人口的国家来说，秘鲁的军队相当庞大，有10万名现役人员和268000名预备役人员在随时等待通知去服役。

Peru features an active air force that includes combat fighter jets, along with attack helicopters, attack aircraft, and air support. The country’s ground support offers 300 combat tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and support from towed and self-propelled artillery along with rocket projectors. The country also offers a small naval source comprised of frigates, patrol craft, corvettes, and six submarines. The military’s budget is just north of $820 million per year.

秘鲁有一支活跃的空军，包括战斗机、攻击直升机、攻击机和空中支援飞机。该国的地面支援部队拥有300辆作战坦克、装甲战车，以及牵引式和自行式火炮以及火箭发射器。该国还有一只小型海军，包括护卫舰、巡逻艇、轻型护卫舰、和六艘潜艇。其每年军事预算刚刚超过8.2亿美元。

Netherlands

荷兰



If everyone could just be Switzerland this list would be unneeded. The country is home to 8.2 million people and only 21,000 serve in the country’s active military. An additional 120,000 people are part of the country’s military reserves.

如果每个国家都像瑞士这样，就不需要这份清单了。这个国家有820万人口，只有2.1万名现役士兵。该国还有12万名预备役人员。

The Swiss maintain a small airborne military that does not include any attack helicopters. The country is home to a small number of fighter jets and attack aircraft that are supported by an equally small subset of air transport devices. The Swiss army is mostly comprised of 224 combat tanks and a larger number of armored fighting vehicles. Given its location, Switzerland does not maintain any type of naval force. $4.1 billion is spent on military expenditures every single year.

瑞士维持了一支小型空军，没有任何攻击直升机。该国拥有数量有限的战斗机和攻击机，以及同样少量的航空运输设备。瑞士军队大体上由224辆作战坦克和数量稍多的装甲车组成。鉴于它的位置，瑞士并没有维持任何类型的海军力量。每年在军事上的开支为41亿美元。

Norway

挪威



Despite Mexico’s population of nearly 124 million people, the country’s military is relatively small with only 273,000 active personnel and 110,000 reserve members.

尽管墨西哥有近1.24亿人口，但该国军队规模相对较小，只有27.3万名现役人员和11万名后备人员。

Mexico features 58 fighter jets and a handful of other attack fighters. The country is focused on transport aircraft and it also lacked attack helicopters. Mexico’s army is comprised of 567 combat tanks and only a handful of armored fighting vehicles. The country does operate some towed and self-propelled artillery. While Mexico does not own an aircraft carrier, the country’s military is responsible for operating and maintaining frigates, mine warfare vessels, patrol craft, and seven corvettes warships. Mexico spends $10.07 billion per year on military assets.

墨西哥有58架战斗机和少数其他攻击战斗机。该国的重点是运输机，也缺乏攻击直升机。墨西哥军队由567辆战斗坦克和少量装甲战车组成。这个国家确实使用了一些拖曳式和自行式火炮。虽然墨西哥没有航空母舰，但该国军方负责操作和维护着护卫舰、水雷战舰、巡逻艇和七艘轻型护卫舰。墨西哥每年在军事资产上花费100.7亿美元。

Malaysia

马来西亚



Although Canada is a considerably larger than the United States in terms of land mass, the country has just 1/10th of the population. And of the 36 million people who live in Canada, just 79,000 are active military personnel. But despite those numbers, Canada ranks among the strongest militaries in the world.

尽管加拿大在土地面积方面比美国大，但该国人口只有后者的1/10。在加拿大3600万人口中，只有7.9万名现役军人。但尽管数量较少，加拿大仍跻身于全世界最强大的军队之列。

In addition to having 111,000 total military personnel, they have roughly 426 air crafts, 181 tanks, and four submarines. Despite its powerful tools and technologies, Canada takes a peaceful approach. In fact, the country was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988 in recognition of the efforts over the years to help restore peace to war-torn countries. Canada’s annual military budget is $21 billion per year.

另外它的军队总人数为11.1万人，却拥有426架飞机，181辆坦克和四艘潜艇。尽管它有着强大的工具和技术，加拿大的行为一贯和平。实际上，该国由于多年帮助遭受战争摧残的国家重建和平，而在1988年获得诺贝尔和平奖。加拿大每年的军事预算为210亿美元。

Algeria

阿尔及利亚



Fun fact: in the 1930s, the Australian military waged war on the emu population of West Australia and lost. But despite this embarrassment, Australia has one of the strongest militaries in the world today.

有趣的事实：1930年代，澳大利亚军队向西澳大利亚的鸸鹋发起战争，却失败了。尽管有这个令人尴尬的历史，今天的澳大利亚拥有全世界最为强大的一支军队。

Australia and the United States are similar in size, yet Australia’s military is comparatively tiny. In fact, the country has just 58,000 active members and an additional 44,240 left in reserve along with 408 air vehicles, 59 tanks, and 52 ships ready for battle. In many areas, Australia’s military is much weaker than other countries, but thanks to the land down under’s attack helicopters and submarines, it gets high rankings. $26.9 billion is spent on Australia’s military every single year.

澳大利亚和美国在面积上差不多，然而澳大利亚的军队相对较小。实际上，该国只有5.8万名现役人员，另外4.424万名预备役人员，它拥有408架飞行棋，59辆坦克，52艘军舰整装待发。在很多领域，澳大利亚军队比其他国家弱小得多，但多亏了它的攻击直升机和潜艇，它的排名很高。澳大利亚每年的军事开支为269亿美元。
