In 2030, which countries do the world's five strongest continental armies come from?
The United States finally came up with a report based on the development trends of armies in various countries. It is surprising that in 2030, two armies in Asia ranked among the top five in the world, and one of them has been ignored.
So, who is this country? How is our army viewed? How many other countries in Europe are among the top five?
For a long time, as the country with the strongest military strength in the world, the United States has never stopped its assessment of military strength of various countries.
So, in the eyes of the United States, which countries are eligible to enter the top five in 2030?
The first thing to introduce is French Army.
As soon as this country appeared, many people expressed their confusion. It was France, which surrendered to the speed of light in World War II , could it also be among the top five in the world in the future?
It is true that France's poor performance during World War II led to its army being unpopular, but objectively speaking, France is a traditional army power and is a top presence in Europe.
The United States' assessment of the strength of the French Army exceeded everyone's expectations. They believe that the French Army will be able to rank in the top five in the world in 2030!
Although the French territory is small, it is only 550,000 square kilometers without calculating overseas territory.
But like the other European countries that took the lead in launching the industrial revolution , France's strength comes from its solid industrial foundation and advanced scientific research capabilities.
The current French Army, is one of the most powerful military forces in Europe, with a force of about 120,000, of which 98,000 are active troops.
In 1990, the French Army had more than 1,300 main battle tanks, and the number has dropped to 220, but this does not mean that the French Army's armor has been greatly weakened.
In fact, the "Leclerc" main battle tank equipped by France now ranks among the best in the world in modernization and is known as "the world's first fourth-generation main battle tank ".
and Leclerc's main battle tank are also extremely costly, reaching an astonishing $10 million per vehicle. It is almost unrivaled in the world, which is enough to show how much France attaches importance to the army.
In addition to Leclerc's main battle tank, the French Army also has 358 large artillery pieces, most of which are above 155 mm caliber. The most advanced one among them is the "Caesar" self-propelled howitzer. There are also 140 120mm mortars and 13 multi-barrel rocket launchers.
The French Army is actively implementing relevant bills to purchase more advanced artillery to replace old models in service. The important reason why the French Army is listed as the Five Continental Army in 2030 is that the United States has focused on the "Scorpion" plan that the French army is vigorously promoting.
The core of this plan is to train troops at all levels into a whole through modern electronic information technology, coordinate the allocation of battlefield data to divide logistics support. In the French army's vision, this plan can only be achieved by their VBCI infantry fighting vehicles and Leclerc tanks.
And in addition to this, France is also the only Western power without a US military.
What people never expected was that France, which was disappointed in World War II, suddenly became tough.
When most European countries were stationed by the United States, France refused toughly, and even threatened to withdraw from NATO .
This matter is extremely not simple. You know, even the UK cannot reject the United States, but France did it.
In order to win people's hearts, the United States did not want conflicts within NATO to create opportunities for the Soviet Union, so it had to leave France's attitude.
The United States predicts the world's five continental armies by 2030. Why are the Indian army among them?
If the French Army is ranked among the top five in the world, it is because the United States recognizes their advanced equipment and modern battlefield concepts.So what does India have?
In many people's impression, isn't India a country that is so prosperous with motorcycle acrobatics? How strong can their army be?
However, the United States has different views and they are optimistic about India.
First of all, the United States believes that: in terms of number of people, the total strength of the Indian Army is about 1.48 million, and it also has a reserve army of more than 2 million. It is the second largest standing army and the largest reserve army in the world.
Secondly, India's ground armor power is also very objective. In addition to their own Arjun main battle tank , the Indian Army has also introduced a large number of foreign arms. Even though it is often nicknamed "Made in All Nations", its strength cannot be underestimated.
200 Arqiong main battle tanks, nearly 600 T-55/T-54 heavy tanks, more than 800 T-90 main battle tanks , nearly 2,700 T-72 main battle tanks , as well as some "every winners" and PT-76 amphibious combat tanks.
It is estimated that India has at least 4,000 vehicles in the world's main armored forces alone: the third-generation main battle tanks. This number is at the forefront of the world and cannot be ignored.
Although it seems that India has the strength to become the world's top military power, it is a mess in scientific research, logistics, personnel training and other fields, especially in the field of military scientific research. If excellent works are not produced, then the Indian army will never have the possibility of rising.
The United States listed India as the top five armies in 2030. Perhaps it was because it was eyeing their development potential, or it was just for its own interests. But in short, we still cannot underestimate India, after all, it is a world-wide populous country and its war potential is extremely great.
Of course, in addition to France and India, Russia is also ranked among the five world continental armies by the United States in 2030.
Combat nation appears on the list, I believe most people will not be surprised.
After all, it is also the heir to the Soviet big brother, and it is reasonable for the United States to list it as the strongest five continental armies in 2030.
In fact, since the Soviet era, this country has attached great importance to the development of ground forces. This is also related to the fact that several major wars in the country's history have basically occurred on land.
According to statistics, there are about 420,000 Russian army personnel, which is the absolute main body of Russian military forces.
even formed various rapid response troops such as airborne troops, , based on the army, allowing the Russian Army to have multiple threat response systems and achieve flexible operations.
The number of equipment owned by the Russian Army is terrifying. Let’s start with the tank . The Russian Army is now equipped with about 29,000 tanks, of which 3,570 are the latest T-90 main battle tanks.
In addition to tanks, armored vehicle is also an important part of land armored forces. The Russian army has a total of 37,000 armored vehicles , of which BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle is not less than five digits.
This is not the end. The Russian Army also has an aviation unit under its jurisdiction, which has more than 63,700 combat helicopters of various types and transport helicopters.
It can be seen that the armed forces of Russian Army have reached a terrifying level. The torrent of steel that shocked the continent for half a century has never really disappeared.
Even the mortal rival, the United States, has to admit that although the Soviet Union has fallen, the Russian army will still be the top five in the world in the next ten years.
The United States predicts that the world's five continental armies will be on the list by 2030. So, how does the US view the strength of our army?
Speaking of Chinese Army , it is the army that the United States attaches the most importance to and fears the most.
The US believes that even if our country's Rocket Force has long been divided into the army and become a separate branch of the army, our army's active number is still ranked first in the world, and no one can surpass it in a short period of time.
Chinese Army is composed of more than ten armies including infantry, armored soldiers, , artillery, air defense soldiers, , army aviation, etc. It covers combat, support, surveying, mapping, chemical defense and other fields. The tacit cooperation among various armies and the clear division of labor have created strong combat effectiveness.In terms of equipment, the US believes that our army has more than 7,000 tanks and 7,500 armored personnel carriers, all of which correspond to the modern American armored forces.
In addition to driving ground armor equipment, our army also has tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces, as well as a large number of armed and transport helicopters to ensure that our army can counter the pressures of the enemy's sea, land and air, and truly achieve "winning the battle".
In addition to equipment, the proud record in our army's history is the factor that really scares the United States.
War of Resistance Against Japan , Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea , Resist U.S. Aid Vietnam, Self-Defense Counterattack against India, Self-Defense Counterattack against Vietnam , etc., all show the world the combat effectiveness of our army, rich tactical literacy and strong fighting will, and have created the great reputation of our army.
Not to mention, when we achieved these victories, our army's equipment was actually extremely backward in the world. After having strong modern equipment, no one can imagine how strong our army's strength will develop.
Of course, the last country to be on the list is naturally the Americans themselves, after all, this is the ranking list of Americans.
I believe most people know how strong the US military strength is. They have been rising since World War II. After the collapse of in in 1991, it has been unique in the world and is in the world's leading position.
Although compared with the navy and air force, the United States does not invest heavily in the army due to strategic considerations, operational purposes and other factors, and its attention is not as high as the rest of the troops, this is just a comparison within the US military. For the army of other countries, the US Army still has an incomparable combat power and first-mover advantage.
The US Army is one of the most combat-rich troops in the world. It has participated in many local wars and accumulated huge tactical experience. For example, in 1991, the US used powerful electronic information warfare to show the world how to fight modern warfare.
The US Army's active troops are about 460,000. If National Guard can participate in military operations, the total number will reach a terrifying 1 million.
Its ace force, the First Marine Division, is equipped with nearly 300 tanks, about 900 armored vehicles of various types, and about 5,000 of the remaining types of vehicles. More than 200 helicopters are available for support at any time. The equipment is the world's first .
Take the "King of Land Warfare" tank as an example. The US Army has equipped a large number of M1A2 main battle tank . This model is equipped with a variety of black technologies and ranks among the best in the world.
contains powerful inter-vehicle, battlefield deployment management systems, independent thermal imaging modules, laser rangefinder and other modern combat systems, allowing M1A2 to have strong battlefield control capabilities.
Therefore, the strong strength of the US Army can be seen from the tanks equipped. In fact, strong scientific research and military-industrial strength are the most important reliances for the US. The M1296 infantry fighting vehicle, Himas rocket launcher , etc. are all demonstrations of the strength of the US Army.
It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, the US Army will remain strong. Although it is not as good as our country, it can still rank second in the world.
After all, in this world, there is only the Chinese army. It once defeated the 17-nation troops led by the United States. The war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea directly established the top spot in the world. This is unquestionable.
