According to the latest ranking of the US "Global Military Power Report" (GFP), in 2020, South Korea ranks sixth in military power among 138 countries, while its northern neighbors scored only 0.4684, ranking No. 28, down three places from the 25 in 2020. However, it scored higher in the number of troops, tanks, missile launch pads, flames, submarines, frigate , patrol boats, and fighter jets. The GFP evaluation standard is to convert military power indicators through 48 items such as population, force, weapons, and defense budget. The closer this indicator is to zero, the stronger the military power. In the latest top ten GFP rankings, they are the United States 0.072, Russia 0.080, China 0.086, India 0.121, Japan 0.144, South Korea 0.162, France 0.169, Britain 0.201, Brazil 0.204 and Pakistan 0.208.
Among them, the United States, Russia, and China are still in the top three, which is in line with popular perception and is not a big problem. But whether India can rank fourth is debatable. India’s advantages in military power building mainly include the following. One is that the number is large, which is related to India’s large population base; the other is that India has invested heavily in military power building in recent years. It has become the largest arms purchase country; the third is that India is making good progress in the upgrading of equipment, and has technical exchanges with the two major powers of the United States and Russia. However, even so, it is still a bit wrong to rank India in fourth place, because on the one hand, India’s equipment is diverse, there is no system, and Russian-American doping, which will restrict its support capability. In terms of self-research capabilities, it is very lacking and has a poor foundation. On the other hand, Indian army has poor discipline and mediocre combat effectiveness. When fighting domestic separatist forces, they often disperse between birds and beasts. This is also a problem. All in all, India’s military power should be under the European military power of France, and France only ranks seventh.
Let’s talk about Korea,The sixth place is far-fetched. Because up to now, South Korea is still relying mainly on the protection of the US military in South Korea. When facing the north, the confidence is seriously insufficient. Then, the sixth is particularly lacking in persuasiveness. At least, it should be further behind. South Korea should be 30 outside. The United States Put it so high, it should be encouraged! South Korea’s military strength building has one thing that stands out, that is, South Korea’s shipbuilding industry, which is a manifestation of South Korea’s overall military technical strength and cannot be denied. In addition, it seems difficult to find the advantages of South Korea’s military power. Among neighboring countries, it is also relatively weak, and it cannot be compared with Japan. Therefore, South Korea’s ranking is a big problem and cannot withstand scrutiny. Although the military ranking can integrate many indicators, the final criterion must be whether it can win on the battlefield.
British aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth"
Britain is ranked 8th, which may be a bit behind, but in the European direction, it is already ranked second only to France, and it is fair. After all, Britain is an old power and has nuclear weapons, but it needs to be pointed out that Britain has always been proud of its navy, and its army and air force are average. Today, the British naval construction is a bit too late. It is too late to build a new aircraft carrier. It was very embarrassing to be late for not being equipped with a carrier aircraft. But even so, the British ambitions are still the same, and they often point fingers at Asia-Pacific affairs, threatening to give China some color, almost ignorant. Unsurprisingly, Britain’s military rankings will only lag behind in the future. The reason why Britain is still a little influential is that it can rely on its laurels and its ally, and Britain itself is visible to the naked eye. The speed quickly declined.
Finally, it is necessary to briefly review the ranking of the US military from a political perspective, because the military has always served politics. This ranking has the following characteristics. One is to highlight Asia and hide Europe. In several major Asian countries around China, the treatment is good. India, South Korea and Japan got 4th, 5th, and 6th place respectively. This is very meaningful, because Japan and South Korea are allies of the United States, and India is also being tried hard. Winning in and increasing confidence in these countries is mainly to contain China's needs, but it is flashy. The military strength of India, South Korea and Japan should not be higher than that of Britain and France. The second is that China is already catching up with Russia. According to the US military power ranking index, the distance between China and Russia,It must have been shrinking continuously. Soon, the United States may put China in second place. While putting China on fire, it will provoke Sino-Russian relations by the way. The third is to try to please India. As a big Asian country and a neighboring country to China, with the rapid rise of China, the United States needs India very much. But in fact, India's overall military strength should not be in the top five, ranking fourth, and there is a lot of moisture in it.
The military power rankings are only for reference. Who is more powerful can only reveal the answer on the battlefield. The so-called military rankings of the United States are somewhat scientific, but they must be viewed dialectically and cannot be trusted. After all, there is still too much sand in it.
