According to a 2024 report published by the International Institute for Peace Research in Stockholm (SIPRI), a study center specialized in the study of military spending and arms trade in the world, India is 172 nuclear eyebrows, while Pakistan is 170.
According to the specialized media in an exhaustive analysis, in account troops and military force India has 5.14 million of people (more than 1.45 million active soldiers), with another 1.15 million in the reserve and about 2.5 million paramilitary forces.

In this sense, it is first necessary to highlight how the indicators of this classification are read. Each of the 145 world powers analyzed is awarded a score whose maximum is 0.0000. From Global Firepower, remember that this maximum note is “realistically unattainable” with these parameters.
So, The lower the score, the greater the consideration as “powerful” of the conventional combat capacity of a country. “Our exclusive internal formula allows smaller and more technologically more advanced nations to compete with larger and less developed powers and special modifiers are applied, in the form of bonuses and penalties, to further refine the list that is compiled annually,” is detailed in the classification of Global Firepower.
