In a geopolitical context like the current one, to have armed forces at the height of the circumstances, it seems almost unnegotiable. And at this time, with the fundamental debate about the increase in the financing of NATO member countries, everything related to the military capacity of different countries worldwide has become a matter of state.
For this reason, in these times the continuous references to the military potential of each country have occurred, and it is more common than ever the creation and existence of numerous rankings that evaluate the military capacities in one way or another.
According to the latest reference portal report in this regard, FightGlobal International, which analyzes all kinds of aspects: technical, capacity, arms, economic, etc. Several conclusions can be extracted, if you look at the top 10 positions in what respects the aerial potential of all countries. And this would be the classification:
- 1. The United States, which continues to be the country with the greatest military potential in the world, thanks to its 2,679 aircraft and technological advances and an unparalleled budget.
- 2. China: with 1,583aeronaves, in addition to an incipient investment in drones and AI.
- 3. Russia: Despite the serious losses suffered during its conflict in Ukraine, it continues on the podium in this classification, thanks, among other things, to its 1,522 aircraft.
- 4. India: Thanks to its huge human capital and its 643 aircraft, together with an unprecedented technological progress and modernization program in the Asian giant, it is located in this fourth place.
- 5. North Korea: with 482 aircraft and a huge investment in defense, continues in number five.
- 6. Pakistan: It has 418 airplanes and a fleet that combines American and China technology.
- 7. South Korea: 413 planes.
- 8 Saudi Arabia: The Islamic monarchy currently has 364 aircraft and a strong investment behind.
- 9 Egypt: It has 328 aircraft and is the largest fleet in the Middle East.
- 10. Taiwan: It has 285 aircraft
As you can see, among the 10 countries with the greatest air capacity we can see that Spain is not, and it is not very much, since in any case, our country has been characterized by being a world aviation power.
But also the fact that there is no European country – Salvo Russia – and none of NATO, except for the US. All this clearly speaks that the military potential is found in other latitudes, with a continent like Asia in full boom and nourishes this ranking of up to 7 countries.
