So Far I Worked hard to find many things and read many things to make this , but its far from finished , thats why I would very much apreaciate your comments on what to improve and what you dont agree with and what to add. Thanks

 

[Yasin20]

what about pakistan turkey or at least iran

 

[Mikestro]

Israeli Army gets a 7 for size with 168k reg. soldiers and 408k reserves.

India Army gets a 7 for size with 1325k reg. soldiers and 1155k reserves.

This doesn't make sense? both have similar tank number but India has more Arty while Israel has more APC. Same with others like Britain and Germany.

I don't like the size component of the scoring. A Country with half a dozen high tech well trained fighters would score higher then a country with 1000's of older tech moderately trained aircraft.

I think if you were to organize a ranking like this you might want to do like the rankings I have seen on this site for Navies, IE Tier 1, 2, & 3.

And I would have to add I doubt that most of the countries listed count nearly as superpowers. (last I counted there was only one superpower). May a new different title would be more accurate, say regional powers or military powers.

And I think a country needs to be able to project power at distance to truly be an Super or global power or whatever you want to call them. This leaves Russia, USA, France, Britain, and to a lesser extent China.

btw what do u mean by a Country with half a dozen high tech well trained fighters would score higher then a country with 1000's of older tech moderately trained aircraft.

Which did u mean?

 

[Rich]

While I respect the effort you expended typing all this out it appears pretty subjective to me. Maybe you should list your qualifications in these matters , or, at least explain some of your ratings.

You give Russia awfully high marks.

 

[Waylander]

And you defenitely give Germany much too high marks!

 

[Ozzy Blizzard]

Who's number 9 & 10??? I dont mind your ratings, seem pretty much on the mark. Having an armies size as a peramiter should stay, it definatly does have an effect on war fighting capability. But why do the ruskie army get 10 for tech????? maybe give them a 12 for size and drop the tech to 7.

 

[SABRE]

First of all the topic says "SuperPowers" ... the world is in unipolar dimension with USA as sole SuperPower. Others are just powers, not super powers.

2ndly the numerical/size criteria used here will also make "North Korea" a a power as well, so its completely rendered of credbility.

3rdly & most importently, when considering powers or super-power, Nuclear Weapons are not ignored. Here there is no mention of them.

 

[Theodor]

I would have to question the sources of this information.
And not to rain on anyones parade. Germany, France, India and Isreal are not superpowers.

More information on how these scores were determined might help.

If China is gets a 9 for army size, who or what would be a 10?

 

[RoxFTW]

@Theodor Its not only soldiers , i took in account tanks , armored vehicles , so i gave China a bit lower mark

@SABRE yes im aware of that , i meant to say strongest powers in the world not Superpowers , that was a mistake

@Ozzy that high marks are based mostly on what tehnology's country's produce , high tech missiles , weaponry , and i think they are quite big in that category

@Waylander , Rich : thats why i would apreaciate what you guys would change in my grades of Germany and Russia?

 

[Ozzy Blizzard]

or at least iran

IRAN????? Are you kidding me?????? Their air force is a compleat shambles. the only decent platforms they have are the Cats and there cannablising them for parts, the only credible units their army have a revoloutionary guard and there navy is non existant. They're in a piss poor state!

 

[Waylander]

I would not even try to rate countries like that.
It often results in a "my **** is bigger than yours"-threads.

Such a topic is far more complex and you just cannot rate countries like you did.

 

[Ozzy Blizzard]

What like current warfighting capability???? The current state of equipment and force structure would be pretty important wouldn't it? On both those points the Iranians are indeed in a piss poor state.

Perhaps if i used more dispationate language????

I seriously doubt the current warfighting capability of the Iranian Armed forces can realy compare to the likes of the list stated above. As far as the air force is concerned, they are useing 30+yr old ex US platforms for the most part and with a US arms embargo they are being forced to canibalise platforms to keep a minimal ammount flying. And due to the age and lack of parts for these platforms training sheduals would be pretty irregular. So the fighting capability of the Iranian Air force isn't very impressive. And the navy is only a bare bones littoral capability, so i dont see how they can even be rated against the blue water capablity of the likes of the USN, RN and FN. As far as the land component the only formations that have a real combined arms warfighting capability are the revoloutionary guard units. That Doesent seem to be very impressive to me.

 

[Yasin20]

ok then just turkiye and pakistan then they are the only muslum powers

 

[Todjaeger]

I would not even try to rate countries like that.
It often results in a "my **** is bigger than yours"-threads.

Such a topic is far more complex and you just cannot rate countries like you did.

I think Waylander is referring to attempts to rank various world militaries. Such comparisons are generally unpopular with mod and some members because they often do break down into size measuring contests having more to do with nationalistic pride than reality.

If people insist on trying to rank various militaries, then I think a tier system would likely work better, since it can generalize where different forces are in strength/capability without getting into detailed specifics.

-Cheers

 

[Waylander]

Jup, you got me absolutely right.

 

[Mikestro]

Furthur more I dont see how the relation of scoring from army, navy and airforce relate to over all score?

China (PLA) in Third Place
-Army 29
-Air Force 26
-Navy 23
Total would be 78 ?

UK 4th place
-Army 34
-Air Force 35
-Navy 36
Total would be 105 ?

So 3rd place China (Pla) get total score of 78 out of 120 and 4th place UK gets 105 of 120. I do not see the connect between scoring and ranking. It just seems very subjective.

 

[Revival_786]

Pakistan and Turkey should also be on this list - they both have pretty strong militaries.
