More accurately France WAS participating, but dropped out because costs were jumping too high. They then went with the Rafale, which is arguably at least as good and maybe superior to the Eurofighter, at least in some aspects.
The french participated and true costs were far too high for them and they wanted lead on the design as well as a more specialized aircraft for their specific needs and felt without them innlead their contributions would be directed at resources not needed.
@@manumanu-li3fethe capabilities of the EF are different to them of the Rafale, the concept of the EF was a AA-fighter and was later convertet to a multirole-fighter and the concept of the Rafale was always a multirole-fighter, for this reason the Rafale has better AG capabilities (e.g. higher payload), but in AA the EF has advantages especially in high altitudes and high speed combat (e.g. better thrust to weight ratio). In my opinion this are both very capable fighter. And the F35 isn't a replacement of the EF it's rather for replacement of the Tornado and the Harrier.
So, the thing to remember about the French is their national security strategy. It's a top priority for them to maintain independent capability. That includes development, construction and sustainment. So they will cooperate with other nations, joint development and such, but they keep full copies of the blueprints, as it were. They develop their own aircraft, ships, vehicles and equipment across almost all types. They have an independent nuclear capability. They also maintain the capacity to achieve independent expeditionary operations. Pretty much unique capabilities in NATO aside from the US. It was really valuable from an American perspective during the WOT. One of the regions we were concerned with was terrorism in the Sahel region- an area of interest to the French. They also had the diplomatic network with local governments there so they had it handled with their regional allies with little direct assistance from the US. Meaning no disrespect to our other allies in NATO, because we all have our parts to play, but having an ally like that is great. It can also be a pain in the ass because if the the rest of NATO disagrees with the US, they're the first to tell us to, uhh, jog on (is that what you'd say in the UK? Bugger off, maybe?). But, you know, sometimes we may need to hear that.
Poland is a sneaky good military. I would say they are a top 4 nato military. And getting stronger. They are ordering a shit ton of all the top systems in the world
@@codymiller9086 no I’m American. It’s a fact that they have modern equipment. And Eastern European men make excellent soldiers. They’ve had a good military for a long time. Now they’ve just modernized everything. New tanks and self propelled artillery from South Korea and the US They’re ordering hundreds of himars. New apaches, f35s.
@@rabidDAWGfan82 Absolutely, we try to produce equipments by our own to preserve our sovereignty and autonomy from other major powers but also to export our equipments (Rafale). We diverged from the Eurofighter program to build an aircraft suited to our needs. Our goal was to create a versatile multirole aircraft capable of deploying a french nuclear weapons systems (ASMPA) and executing carrier-based landings. In the other hand other european countries wanted a superiority and interception role fighter. An now they need to buy F-35s to use nuclear weapons and seek the U.S. approval to use these bombs. An other example, is that, the Rafale while in the initial years of service included certain technological components were American, this is no longer the case today. As a result, we have the flexibility to export it to nations where geopolitical interests may not align with American preferences (India).
Not Himmars only MLRS as it will be mix of HIMMARS, Chungwo from South Korea and Polish RW Langusta. Also Poland won't be able to buy extra 1000 MBT. Rather I. Total we will have as a nation around 1000 top MBT which you can buy now. Also our air defence will be the strongest in Europe after modernisation will end.
Probably in the next 5 years, when the TFX fighter jets, I-class frigates, TF2000 destroyers and aircraft carriers developed by Turkey come into service, Turkey will be NATO's 2nd largest military power. It should not be forgotten that Turkey is currently Nato's 2nd largest army in terms of the power it gives to Nato.
Don't pay attention to what biased and jealous people say! Turkey is the 7th largest military power in the world after England, which is far behind Turkey in terms of conventional power. This actually makes Turkey the 2nd largest NATO power! Considering that Turkey has risen from 11th place to 8th place in just a few years and that the Turkish defense industry is developing very quickly, it would not be surprising for it to rise from 8th place to 5th place in a few years.
turkish fan boys always lives in the dream , very funny , look at who are the biggest arms sellers in the world and you will have an idea of who has the best weapons
Turkiye has lots of stuff, specially from other NATO nations. But they don't know how to use it. Parking tanks on top of hill and complaining that these tanks then get wrecked...
France didn't surrender in WW1 were you engaged only in 1917. France fought alongside america to bring them independance (ok more to trigger england than love for you). Love how France surrended in 1940 after a strong fight and americans only remember this haha
yes and the Americans took 5 years to come....they let the Russians destroy Nazism, they just came to prevent Russia from taking all of Europe at the end when war was already won.
@@ThePsycho022 Even the F-16 will not be replaced! only the older ones. The US may have an estimated 3,750 aircraft, roughly 4,000, it's just a number.
The Eurofighter Typhoon was a project between Germany, England, Spain and Italy. That's why these countries have the Eurofighters. But the Mirage is very similar to the Eurofighter.
France makes there own fighters in house , if I remember Rafale didn’t want to get involved in the euro fighter ,only Germany , Italy , uk and Spain Edit : I meant dassult not rafale , got confused between the company and model
Turkiye needs to be updated seriously, they are number two, as they should be. they are number 8 in the world according to global fire power, but that only takes into account numbers which are only 50% of the deal, it doesn't take into account experience and capabilities etc. Turkiye has one of the best army's in the world.

We do have reserve personnel in Poland. Every adult man (without serious health issues) aged between 18 and 63 years old are reservists. We also have Territorial Defence Force which is 40k+ people (light infantry). Also some paramilitary organisations but I don't know exact numbers. Regarding tanks: most of our T-74 and PT-91 tanks were send to Ukraine. We replaced them with Abrams tanks and K2 tanks from Korea (they will be modernized into K2PL). Some MIG fighters, and I heard that some SU, were also send to Ukraine. There are some korean made FA-50 (or FA-50PL) + we are waiting for our F-35. Regarding artillery we are using eg. AHS Krab, KMO Rak, SpGH Dana, K9 Thunder, WR-40 Langusta, HIMARS and korean made Chunmoo. We are trying to replace old post-soviet BMP-1 with our homemade IFV Borsuk but it is still in the process.

The script read by that AI voice neglected bombers in air force strengths, and idiotically described the A-10 Thunderbolt II (the Warthog) as a fighter, when it is an attack aircraft that carries a couple of self-defense IR-guided missiles. It did not distinguish between branches of military service, apparently lumping all active-duty personnel into the 'army'. The mispronunciations were consistent and blatant. It also neglected long-range missile capability. It's a collection of the sloppiest sort of generalizations.
nope, this list was actualized, counting economic power and technology too, not only numbers like before! Italy has 1000 Leo1 tank, they get dismantled, Turkey still uses it, they cost a lot, but most are not even ready for combat!

Dire que l'armée française se rend est totalement faux. Les anglais ont fuis à Dunkerque, protégé par l'armée française. Nous avons continuer à se battre en France pendant que les anglais étaient acclamé sur leur îles.
Not too sure about what's going on with France's conventional military but I do know it's all fun and games until the foreign legion is involved... those guys have nothing better to do and you might just make their day if you challenge them.😂
I completely understand you. They also keep telling us Italians that we changed sides when, in fact, all they would have to do is study and understand that in World War I it was a defensive alliance and therefore no pact was broken. And in World War II, a civil war broke out. Or when they say that we did nothing in World War II. But beyond the fact that these things are false (even if they were true, it's been 80 years, I would say things have changed), but I repeat that they are false.

It's correct that France doesn't operate Eurofighters, they have their domestic made Rafale instead. Also we germans ordered the F-35 as well and still operate the Tornado because Eurofighters can´t carry the B-61 tactical nuclear bomb
Turkey already has a very strong and experienced army. For 40 years we have been at war with the PKK. We entered Syria and Iraq and in the 70s we made Cyprus Turkish soil again. This country, which you do not take seriously, has its own advanced defense industry and technology companies, and we recently flew our 5th generation fighter jet. Yes, our economy is terrible, there are many political crises in the country. But the Turkish army is growing and developing independently. Don't be afraid, we need to eat 40 loaves of bread to become like the Ottomans. And we have no eyes on your lands. As long as you don't try to establish a state etc. on our borders that acts against us.

If you divide the number of American military aircraft by service the United States has 3 of the 5 largest air forces in the World. The United States Air Force is #1, the United States Navy is #2 and the United States Marine Corp is #5 based on total number of aircraft.
The French do not have any Typhoons. They preferred the Dassault Mirrage and Raffaele aircraft. The Raffaele is just as good as Typhoon and why buy the Eurofighter when your home grown aircraft is as good or better. France actually pulled out of the development of Typhoon when they realized that the Raffaele was just as capable and cost 22% less per aircraft.
Keep in mind the top three countries in the list are the only ones that have nuclear subs in their navies and all three are nuclear weapon armed for MAD deterrence.
@@hyrikul602Yes, but policy is not capability. You don't get a higher spot on the list just because your doctrine is more lenient with the use of Nuclear Weapons
Turkiye has 700.000 military personnel, 2.000 tanks, 13.000 armored vehicles and over 200 fighter jets. Most of the tanks are m60 sabra(modernized version), leopard 1 and leopard 2. Fighter jets are f-16 fighting falcon and most are f-16 block 70(modernized version). How is it possible that Italy, France and the UK are in front of Turkey with only 200.000 military personnel, 200 tanks and 100 fighter jets? Same thing for Poland, they have more combat vehicles than the others even they are 9th. We all know Turkey is up to fight and always doing cross-border operations so they have proved itself. I think Turkey is more capable of a conventional war than the others, except the U.S.
I don't know why Italy is 4'th but UK and France both has Nukes, ICBM's, nuclear attack submarines and real aircraft carriers not LHD's pretending to be carriers.
@@engineeranonymous It makes sense. Nukes and ICBMs are game-changer weapons. However, Turkey is far stronger than the others in a conventional war in my opinion. I do not think that no one dares to use Nukes in a war so Turkey should be on the top after the U.S.
@@eamoshhh BS. France can manufacture most of its weapons. France doesn't rely on other countries to arm itself, whereas Turkey is buying most of its stuff abroad. In case of war, it is essential to produce your weapons yourself, not to mention no one in the western world would provide anything valuable to Turkey. You could only buy russian crap.
it's funny to read/watch these list, due to quite often they aren't accurate (for it's time). For example Poland have an reserve force, but they are not writing it up on the list, the same way other countries does. Norway is also a good example (my country), people call Norway's military small and that is the trick! (I would say that of course) the active force is the active force, but it's when you start to look at reserve numbers things starting to get weird! Norway's Home Guard is listed as the reserve force, when it is actually something between active and reserve force, they are almost similar as a normal active infantry force. What is not listed, is the 170000 reserve force, where 40000 of them are doing Home Guard duty
funny to hear a brit saying that France is always surrendering... pretty much the only war France completely lost was WW2 and french soldiers sacrifice themself to let english soldiers leave at Dunkerque... so you probably need a history lesson about france military and specifically the history with England. We've been best enemies since 1500 years mate.
PS; Wrt the UK and French navies, I also note multiple discrepancies. Eg, that though France's 3 x Mistral Class LPHs are listed, the UK's 2 x Albion Class LPDs are somehow omitted completely.
Spain currently have 2 submarines, 1 old S-70 Galerna class and 1 brand new S-80 + Isaac Peral class (considered the best non-nuclear submarine), but the S-80 + program includes 3 other submarines that will enter in service in the next years (4 in total), with the possibility of increasing to 6 units in total.
Türkiye is the country with the most attack UAVs in the world after the USA and China. Türkiye changed the course of the war in Armenia, Syria, Libya and Ukraine with its UAVs such as TB2, Akıncı and Anka. Türkiye has more than 300 active UAVs. This alone is enough to be in the top 3.
Seriously what is with the 🐂 💩 comments. I only mentioned why they have submarines, ain't it obvious. Problem with the world today is everyone is opinionated about nothing, just absolutely bollocks. Who really gives a shit what you think.
But Polish ordered south Corean fighters f35 from the usa and more than 1000 k2 balck pabther tanks.... more then 600 rocket launchers and more than 700 Self probeld guns... the contracts a save and bayed the polish forec ways for the delivery... the numbers is hoples old and he make a contract for more than 200 m1 tanks..
For the US Navy the 11 aircraft carriers are just the nuclear aircraft carriers if I'm not wrong we still have nine regular aircraft and I didn't see any mention of amphibious landing craft at all like the Marines use

In a conventional warfare Turkey is definetely stronger than France and Italy and likely stronger than UK, thats exactly why Greece has 12 submarines, also in these comparison lists i never seen active personnel numbers of turkish gendarmerie, they are literally same with the land forces, in a war time they will be also deployed and they have around 200k personnel
Summary The video discusses the top 10 most powerful militaries within NATO, with predictions provided by the speaker who has a military background. The speaker talks about the military strengths of countries such as Greece, Poland, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, the UK, France, and the United States. The video details the military capabilities of each country, including the number of personnel, equipment, aircraft, tanks, submarines, and naval vessels. The speaker also mentions upcoming videos on military jets and discusses the potential implications of these military strengths in the event of a large-scale war. The video concludes by stating the speaker's opinion on the top three countries with the strongest militaries as the UK, France, and America, with Italy at number four. Additionally, the video encourages viewers to like, comment, and subscribe to the channel for more military content.
As an American who always gets giddy seeing the US on any of these lists, it’s cool to see that other countries are hyped to see themselves on these lists too. Btw, always love the UK as our closest allies, ride or die bulldogs. Been subscribed for years now keep up the good fun
The video contains incorrect data about Poland. Poland has reserve troops, plus the data does not match, but it's a video from 2023, it's not surprising, Poland is now in 6th place in the NATO ranking
TECHNICALLY every male between the age of 18 to 50/60(not sure), without something prohibiting him from joining an army is considered a reserve personnel in Poland and are called "passive reserve".
Dude, the french have never wanted to design something in cooperation with anyone. At the very least they back down near the end and then take all the design choices they like and then design their own - be they tanks or aircraft. That said, it also means they have a strong domestic industry and that's a thing to be respected.
The information used in the film about POLAND is not current and not true: 134.5 k professional soldiers, 34.3 k soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces, 14.5 k soldiers of voluntary compulsory military service. Data for 2023: a total of 191.5 thousand soldiers.
Afaik, we have 137 Eurofighters and now, 31 of the 32 F35-Bs as yet delivered. One F35 having taken a nosedive over Hms Queen Elizabeth's ski-jump into the Med. We also do still have over 300 x C2 MBTs though only the c210 cited are still operational and with the C3 life extension UK tank nos will reduce yet further to just under 150. Meanwhile, the French in fact have even fewer operational MBTs than we have and though lighter French AFVs outnumber UK ones by approaching c6,600 compared to just over c5,000 French AFVs are all wheeled, not tracked and less capable than the big % of UK tracked equivalents.
I think militaries all over the world are moving from barreled arty pieces to rocket/missile based arty pieces. They are more efficient at targeting, have a much longer range and can redeployed faster.
there is some value in blind munitions. a shell once it's fired is very hard to intercept and can't be subject to EW to mess up it's targetting. i heared that the US navy is giving a second though to battleships over carriers recently for such reasons. a shell is completly passive and once it's shot either you evade it or you get pummeled.
@Netscape-kd6mg Maybe, but for example the 127 Oto Melara with Vulcan guided ammunition reaches 120 km, with an accuracy of 2 metres. You can also use conventional shots, but the guided ones activate the GPS, or IR, or Laser when the bullet is almost on the vertical of the target. The 76 in Strales version guides a projectile with a radar beam towards the target. Good for drones and subsonic anti-ship missiles.
@@askallois laser and IR can be countered and GPS scrambled so even if tehy start dummy, in a situation where their active targetting is countered because the enbemy simply just counters blindly because tehy know you have that then all your gazdgety bling is just ewaste that drives up the cost. in the end it's cheaper to sedn 30k dumb rockets to carpet the area over on gided missile that's a one shot kill given a conflict prolongs long enought. All mlilitary experts are in agreement that our hightech gadgets is usefull in war only because we don't have real battlefieldzs nowadays. the ukrainien war was teh first real prolonged conflicts we've had in decades and they see that supplying any real amount of smart munitions in numbers enough to matter just costs way too much over long periods of time
you need to know that economy and manufacturing power should be included! Greece has so many tanks, most Leo1 can't even start the engine like Turkey, Italy has 1000Leo1 tanks, they will be dismantled. If you count manufacturing power most nation would end far behind
What about experience? How capable these armies to effectively use what they have in their inventory? What are their levels of readiness? What is the ratio of operational equipment?
The experience ispretty much converging at the same level due nato conjoint training. The LAND higher level of readines, if we talk about nato readiness troops Corps, the best are the Italians of the Folgore Brigade Paratroopers, capable to deploy mortars and their foot on the ground on land, with a launch, in 80 minutes (nato numbers). If we talking about in combact readiness status of weapons, USA above all and then France. Italy and UK in this period have some issue with their land forces (they are rethinking their recruitment system due what's happening in Ukraine). AIRFORCES AND NAVIES: USA above all, then Italy and UK are very strong with their navy and af, expecially in multifomain and electronic warfare. France have a slightly better navy than UK and Italy due their blue wather capabilities. The ratio of operational equipment of USA is massive, the European one actually can sustain a medium term war, not a long one. But the whole Europe is working to activating their silent war industry, due Ukraine facts.
Whats its role ? What france army do? Threating poor african dynasties? Do they even fight ? Do we hear french army of troops any place or conflict around the world ? You guys do good luxury bags and perfumes please keep it up
For everyone being like "wtf is that ranking? the numbers don't add up.". They really don't, and the fact is that this is just number of armies, not counting oil and gold reserves, as well as other things. Thus, ranking seems misrepresented. (for example, Poland, Greece and Turkey being seemingly lower than other countries with fewer numbers)
In 2030, Turkey will have 18 submarines, 24 frigates, 1 destroyer, 1 aircraft carrier (sea tests begin) and 1 helicopter carrier. It is clear that it will be NATO's largest navy after the USA. It is also currently included in the 17th Frigate inventory. 13. It is about to enter the submarine inventory. He has a helicopter carrier in inventory. Turkey is at a very good level in terms of unmanned marine vehicles. The only marine vehicle that successfully completed the NATO exercise was Turkey's unmanned marine vehicle. In the asymmetric war, we saw in the Ukraine-Russia war that these weapons are very dangerous for warships.
@@alensmiljanic3844 It is nuclear deterrence. It is not possible to use it operationally. Because there is no winner in such a war. Additionally, Türkiye is working on Nuclear submarines. Türkiye has ballistic missiles, it is very possible to reach the intercontinental level. There is defense cooperation with nuclear power Pakistan. Türkiye may also take steps towards the nuclear in issue towards the 2030s.
bro Greeks and Turks alone are 23 submarines, more than 4K tanks, 400 fighter jets, over 1 million soldiers, and thousands of armored vehicles… beautifull 😳
The information on the Polish army is badly out of date: almost everything Poland inherited from the Warsaw Pact was transferred to Ukraine. In the meantime, huge purchases have been made (the first units of tanks or fighters from South Korea are already being delivered) and, at least on paper, the position of the Polish army will jump a few notches up in this ranking.
Poland is going to be the main country to challenge Russia after America has walked away. They know that and that is why the are investing heavily, urgently, to get up to speed. They have tried hard to support Ukraine, and done a good job of it. It will play to their advantage as Russia has worn its stocks down over the last two years. Poland with a modernized military will be in a far better position as a result to challenge Russia. This could have all been over if it wasn't for American domestic politics. That was always going to be the deciding factor in the Russian Ukrainian war, and it has proven to be right. Whilst it should not be down to America, alone, to save the Ukrainians, it is America that has fucked it all up.
Turkey should be higher than Italy right? Numbers just seem crazy difference, and I feel like Turkey would actually have better trained and experienced military since they are located in a dangerous region, especially compared to Italy no?
@@emiryalcn8922italy got a way better navy force than turkey: It currently has 10 Fremm frigates (which will become 18), ships that the USA also is buying, the Horizon class destroyers, and 3 aircraft carriers carrying F-35s. not to mention that by 2035 it will have the sixth generation Tempest fighter available.
Hey just thought I should point it out the thumbnail of your video is incorrect! Those are ZTZ99 Tanks which belong to China and are NOT operated by NATO countries.
I'm pretty sure that his numbers for the US aircraft are wrong. I think that the us has the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest air forces in the world, that may be why he didn't list all the different types of airplanes they use as some of them technically fall under the navy or the army.
Yes, no Eurofighters for France because they went out of the consortium and they developed their rafale's. France may be back in for the future aircraft development which is now on the way.
We (Türkiye) are at number 5 because we don't have aircraft carriers. If we get a aircraft carrier our millitary power will increase a lot. Also we will need navy aircrafts too of course. Actually if we get F-35 we already have a aircraft carrier for F-35's.

As a result, we have the flexibility to export it to nations where geopolitical interests may not align with American preferences (India).
Poland in the future will have 600 HIMARS systems and 1,000 155 mm self-propelled howitzers . Poland will have about 1,600 tanks
Not Himmars only MLRS as it will be mix of HIMMARS, Chungwo from South Korea and Polish RW Langusta.
Also Poland won't be able to buy extra 1000 MBT. Rather I. Total we will have as a nation around 1000 top MBT which you can buy now.
Also our air defence will be the strongest in Europe after modernisation will end.
Probably in the next 5 years, when the TFX fighter jets, I-class frigates, TF2000 destroyers and aircraft carriers developed by Turkey come into service, Turkey will be NATO's 2nd largest military power. It should not be forgotten that Turkey is currently Nato's 2nd largest army in terms of the power it gives to Nato.
If donkeys could fly...
Don't pay attention to what biased and jealous people say! Turkey is the 7th largest military power in the world after England, which is far behind Turkey in terms of conventional power. This actually makes Turkey the 2nd largest NATO power! Considering that Turkey has risen from 11th place to 8th place in just a few years and that the Turkish defense industry is developing very quickly, it would not be surprising for it to rise from 8th place to 5th place in a few years.
turkish fan boys always lives in the dream , very funny , look at who are the biggest arms sellers in the world and you will have an idea of who has the best weapons
The list is wrong, Türkiye is the 8th strongest military in the world and 3th in the nato (2024 data)
Largest does not equal strongest.
Turkiye has lots of stuff, specially from other NATO nations. But they don't know how to use it. Parking tanks on top of hill and complaining that these tanks then get wrecked...

We also have Territorial Defence Force which is 40k+ people (light infantry). Also some paramilitary organisations but I don't know exact numbers.

You should see how much Polands military has grown since this video.
The script read by that AI voice neglected bombers in air force strengths, and idiotically described the A-10 Thunderbolt II (the Warthog) as a fighter, when it is an attack aircraft that carries a couple of self-defense IR-guided missiles. It did not distinguish between branches of military service, apparently lumping all active-duty personnel into the 'army'.
The mispronunciations were consistent and blatant.
It also neglected long-range missile capability. It's a collection of the sloppiest sort of generalizations.

The French do not have any Typhoons. They preferred the Dassault Mirrage and Raffaele aircraft. The Raffaele is just as good as Typhoon and why buy the Eurofighter when your home grown aircraft is as good or better. France actually pulled out of the development of Typhoon when they realized that the Raffaele was just as capable and cost 22% less per aircraft.

Fighter jets are f-16 fighting falcon and most are f-16 block 70(modernized version). How is it possible that Italy, France and the UK are in front of Turkey with only 200.000 military personnel, 200 tanks and 100 fighter jets? Same thing for Poland, they have more combat vehicles than the others even they are 9th. We all know Turkey is up to fight and always doing cross-border operations so they have proved itself.

Right, but which can be armed immediately as light ground fighters.
it's funny to read/watch these list, due to quite often they aren't accurate (for it's time).
For example Poland have an reserve force, but they are not writing it up on the list, the same way other countries does.
Norway is also a good example (my country), people call Norway's military small and that is the trick! (I would say that of course)
the active force is the active force, but it's when you start to look at reserve numbers things starting to get weird! Norway's Home Guard is listed as the reserve force, when it is actually something between active and reserve force, they are almost similar as a normal active infantry force. What is not listed, is the 170000 reserve force, where 40000 of them are doing Home Guard duty
funny to hear a brit saying that France is always surrendering... pretty much the only war France completely lost was WW2 and french soldiers sacrifice themself to let english soldiers leave at Dunkerque... so you probably need a history lesson about france military and specifically the history with England. We've been best enemies since 1500 years mate.
PS; Wrt the UK and French navies, I also note multiple discrepancies. Eg, that though France's 3 x Mistral Class LPHs are listed, the UK's 2 x Albion Class LPDs are somehow omitted completely.
Spain currently have 2 submarines, 1 old S-70 Galerna class and 1 brand new S-80 + Isaac Peral class (considered the best non-nuclear submarine), but the S-80 + program includes 3 other submarines that will enter in service in the next years (4 in total), with the possibility of increasing to 6 units in total.
Türkiye is the country with the most attack UAVs in the world after the USA and China. Türkiye changed the course of the war in Armenia, Syria, Libya and Ukraine with its UAVs such as TB2, Akıncı and Anka. Türkiye has more than 300 active UAVs. This alone is enough to be in the top 3.
Greece has a lot of submarines because they have a chain of islands. "That is the reason why they need submarines" to protect their land.

Summary
The video discusses the top 10 most powerful militaries within NATO, with predictions provided by the speaker who has a military background. The speaker talks about the military strengths of countries such as Greece, Poland, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, the UK, France, and the United States. The video details the military capabilities of each country, including the number of personnel, equipment, aircraft, tanks, submarines, and naval vessels. The speaker also mentions upcoming videos on military jets and discusses the potential implications of these military strengths in the event of a large-scale war. The video concludes by stating the speaker's opinion on the top three countries with the strongest militaries as the UK, France, and America, with Italy at number four. Additionally, the video encourages viewers to like, comment, and subscribe to the channel for more military content.
As an American who always gets giddy seeing the US on any of these lists, it’s cool to see that other countries are hyped to see themselves on these lists too. Btw, always love the UK as our closest allies, ride or die bulldogs. Been subscribed for years now keep up the good fun
UK is receiving 56 Apache -E helicopters which is the latest and last version of the Apache. USA numbers "USA Don't play"
Not sure why Greece is at 10... Kinda seems like it should be at 6 by the numbers given... Probably economy and population played a part.
Stop smoking weed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also for Germany you got to imagine they had restrictions on their military for a while until about 1960 so they had a lot of catching up to do
...also very serious restrictions and almost forced downsizing after reunification in the late 80s.
Italy fighter jets stats are wrong that 92 is referred only to eurofighters there are also 20+ f35 and in 2030 they should be 75 f35s
The video contains incorrect data about Poland. Poland has reserve troops, plus the data does not match, but it's a video from 2023, it's not surprising, Poland is now in 6th place in the NATO ranking
I'm not sure what metric is used for this ranking. It's kind of confusing. But Canada doesn't need a huge military. They're out neighbor.
TECHNICALLY every male between the age of 18 to 50/60(not sure), without something prohibiting him from joining an army is considered a reserve personnel in Poland and are called "passive reserve".
It's not just 11 submarines from Greece, compared too much larger countries the Fjets are enormous.
Dude, the french have never wanted to design something in cooperation with anyone. At the very least they back down near the end and then take all the design choices they like and then design their own - be they tanks or aircraft.
That said, it also means they have a strong domestic industry and that's a thing to be respected.
Jaguar, Alphajet, Concorde, C 160 Transall, A400M, EC 665 Tiger, hell, Airbus, Arianespace, MBDA, CFM International...
The Eurofighter trainer aircrafts can be used for combats as well. The double seaters (trainers) are the same as the single seaters ones.
greece at the time of the video also had 22 dasault rafale and around 25 f16 vipers
The information used in the film about POLAND is not current and not true: 134.5 k professional soldiers, 34.3 k soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces, 14.5 k soldiers of voluntary compulsory military service. Data for 2023: a total of 191.5 thousand soldiers.

Meanwhile, the French in fact have even fewer operational MBTs than we have and though lighter French AFVs outnumber UK ones by approaching c6,600 compared to just over c5,000 French AFVs are all wheeled, not tracked and less capable than the big % of UK tracked equivalents.

They bailed out of the Euro fighter program to make the Rafale.
I think militaries all over the world are moving from barreled arty pieces to rocket/missile based arty pieces. They are more efficient at targeting, have a much longer range and can redeployed faster.
there is some value in blind munitions. a shell once it's fired is very hard to intercept and can't be subject to EW to mess up it's targetting. i heared that the US navy is giving a second though to battleships over carriers recently for such reasons. a shell is completly passive and once it's shot either you evade it or you get pummeled.
@Netscape-kd6mg Maybe, but for example the 127 Oto Melara with Vulcan guided ammunition reaches 120 km, with an accuracy of 2 metres. You can also use conventional shots, but the guided ones activate the GPS, or IR, or Laser when the bullet is almost on the vertical of the target. The 76 in Strales version guides a projectile with a radar beam towards the target. Good for drones and subsonic anti-ship missiles.
@@askallois laser and IR can be countered and GPS scrambled so even if tehy start dummy, in a situation where their active targetting is countered because the enbemy simply just counters blindly because tehy know you have that then all your gazdgety bling is just ewaste that drives up the cost. in the end it's cheaper to sedn 30k dumb rockets to carpet the area over on gided missile that's a one shot kill given a conflict prolongs long enought. All mlilitary experts are in agreement that our hightech gadgets is usefull in war only because we don't have real battlefieldzs nowadays. the ukrainien war was teh first real prolonged conflicts we've had in decades and they see that supplying any real amount of smart munitions in numbers enough to matter just costs way too much over long periods of time
I noticed that the U.S. air force did not include the second largest air force in the world...the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps

I hope we all agree that, with the exception of a few countries, these are just numbers and most are inept at fighting.
What about experience? How capable these armies to effectively use what they have in their inventory? What are their levels of readiness? What is the ratio of operational equipment?
The experience ispretty much converging at the same level due nato conjoint training.
The LAND higher level of readines, if we talk about nato readiness troops Corps, the best are the Italians of the Folgore Brigade Paratroopers, capable to deploy mortars and their foot on the ground on land, with a launch, in 80 minutes (nato numbers). If we talking about in combact readiness status of weapons, USA above all and then France. Italy and UK in this period have some issue with their land forces (they are rethinking their recruitment system due what's happening in Ukraine).
AIRFORCES AND NAVIES: USA above all, then Italy and UK are very strong with their navy and af, expecially in multifomain and electronic warfare. France have a slightly better navy than UK and Italy due their blue wather capabilities.
The ratio of operational equipment of USA is massive, the European one actually can sustain a medium term war, not a long one. But the whole Europe is working to activating their silent war industry, due Ukraine facts.

Trust me Canadas Military is not top ten, its a joke, a paper army.
The information on the Polish army is badly out of date: almost everything Poland inherited from the Warsaw Pact was transferred to Ukraine. In the meantime, huge purchases have been made (the first units of tanks or fighters from South Korea are already being delivered) and, at least on paper, the position of the Polish army will jump a few notches up in this ranking.
Poland is going to be the main country to challenge Russia after America has walked away. They know that and that is why the are investing heavily, urgently, to get up to speed. They have tried hard to support Ukraine, and done a good job of it. It will play to their advantage as Russia has worn its stocks down over the last two years. Poland with a modernized military will be in a far better position as a result to challenge Russia. This could have all been over if it wasn't for American domestic politics. That was always going to be the deciding factor in the Russian Ukrainian war, and it has proven to be right. Whilst it should not be down to America, alone, to save the Ukrainians, it is America that has fucked it all up.
😂😂😂
Turkey has more Figther Jets and Personal. This information is wrong. They have the second largest army behind USA
Yeah they kind of messed up on some of the equipment.
Left just a few out. Lol
Turkey should be higher than Italy right? Numbers just seem crazy difference, and I feel like Turkey would actually have better trained and experienced military since they are located in a dangerous region, especially compared to Italy no?
Turkey has crap equipment
Italy has triple the economic power of Turkey...
@@GIUSEPPE2245 it has also larger economy than Russia too, but it doesnt make italy stronger than Russia right? 🤣
@@emiryalcn8922italy got a way better navy force than turkey: It currently has 10 Fremm frigates (which will become 18), ships that the USA also is buying, the Horizon class destroyers, and 3 aircraft carriers carrying F-35s. not to mention that by 2035 it will have the sixth generation Tempest fighter available.
@@RT-ff7ew but italy cant defend their borders they getting invaded day by day
Poland may have already bumped up to #8 by now
Hey just thought I should point it out the thumbnail of your video is incorrect! Those are ZTZ99 Tanks which belong to China and are NOT operated by NATO countries.
I would have thought TR would be #2 not #5. Just by numbers they have more equipment and personnel compare to UK and France
I'm pretty sure that his numbers for the US aircraft are wrong. I think that the us has the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest air forces in the world, that may be why he didn't list all the different types of airplanes they use as some of them technically fall under the navy or the army.
I was in the British Army and was posted too NATO for 3 years it was ace
SINCE THIS SHOW GREECE HAS BECOME EVEN STRONGER IN THE TOP 5 NATO COUNTRIS AND 13 SUBS
Dang that's crazy your 3rd best army's nukes don't even work: SKULL
Yes, no Eurofighters for France because they went out of the consortium and they developed their rafale's. France may be back in for the future aircraft development which is now on the way.
Comparing Numbers is not comparing strenght...
France pulled out of the Eurofighter program and made their own instead that being the Refael
Happy Easter 🥚
We (Türkiye) are at number 5 because we don't have aircraft carriers. If we get a aircraft carrier our millitary power will increase a lot. Also we will need navy aircrafts too of course. Actually if we get F-35 we already have a aircraft carrier for F-35's.
