First United States, Second Russia, Third France, Fourth United Kingdom, and Fifth China (Everyone please interpret it carefully)
If the world's military is divided into 100 points.
The United States accounts for 28 points,
European Union accounts for 24 points,
Russia accounts for 11 points,
China accounts for 6 points,
India accounts for 5 points,
The rest of the world in total accounts for 24 points (Brazil, Iran, North Korea, Egypt, Israel, Vietnam, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and so on for the remaining 150+ all countries and territories, excluding EU countries).
First of all, many of my countrymen rank China's military third, which is a very emotional approach and not realistic, except for the fact that China has a large military and spends a lot of money on it. Secondly I think Russia's threat to the US is nuclear weapons, not military power, and Russia's military is nowhere near the level it needs to be to compete with the US. We should not fantasize that China is very powerful, in fact, the gap between China and the United States is still very large. Let me analyze it in detail for military and political enthusiasts.
Navy in fact, in the modernization of the military field, the air force, the navy's military technology to international leadership, the army can do powerful, if the air force navy technology can not reach the global leading level, the army can only be used as cannon fodder, and now the so-called man-sea tactics in the modernization of the military in the global pattern of the death of a dead end, first of all, close to the major oceans and seas of the country, you have to be a strong navy, followed by the air force, and then the army. Second is the air force, again is the army, if there is no sea country, then the air force must be strong, if the right to control the air are occupied by the enemy, then the land forces are more and more what is the use? The air force is mostly assisted by naval warships and aircraft carriers, and there is a saying that if the navy is strong, then the country will be strong. Let's explore the naval field of power, the U.S. Navy the world's absolute first, more than a dozen aircraft carrier battle groups, a variety of warships, whether in the military technology or combat experience, Russia can not be the U.S. rivals, Russia, of course, is the second, medium-sized aircraft carrier battle groups, but also standardized with the world's leading warships, but with the U.S. there is still a gap between the United States, France has a nuclear aircraft carriers, anti-aircraft destroyers, and stealth frigates. The United Kingdom also has the Invincible class aircraft carrier. The United Kingdom also has the Invincible class aircraft carrier, which is the first light aircraft carrier in the Royal Navy and in the world to use a skid-mounted flight deck. In addition, Italy, Brazil, India, Spain and other countries have more light aircraft carriers, we must know that in the sea battle, all rely on the scale of the warships simply do not have the means to fight a large maritime battles, which absolutely need carriers, and China's only carrier or one-way street, in the radar facilities, military science and technology, and other fields is only equivalent to the United States of America 30 years ago on the naval science and technology, the United States of America during the Second World War have more than one aircraft carrier battle group! At present, China's naval strength is only equivalent to the United States after World War II are less than. And China only sea battleships scale, is still not capable of fighting a large sea battle. The U.S. Navy 350,000 people, the Marine Corps 180,000 people. The establishment of five fleets, **** 12 carrier battle groups, 11 amphibious alert brigades, 59 attack submarines, 117 battleships and 10 carrier aircraft wing. According to the U.S. naval strength, sweeping the world's navies is no problem, and the world's first is well deserved. The second is Russia, about 160,000 people, divided into four fleets and the Caspian Sea area fleet, with 287 ships of all types: 61 submarines, 146 large surface ships, 80 small surface ships, a medium-sized aircraft carrier. There are 300 combat aircraft. China's navy is technologically significantly behind Britain, France, Germany and other countries, although the size of the advantage, but the aircraft carrier, anti-submarine, early warning and conventionally powered destroyers and frigates, etc. and the Western countries have a great deal of disparity, ranked after France and Britain, ranked fifth.
Air force air force on the field of the most powerful or the United States, the second is Russia, the third is France, China barely ranked in front of the United Kingdom and Israel, should be ranked fourth, mainly anti-aircraft missiles have the advantage of the scale. Don't underestimate Israel, they are not only strong air force strength, the quality of soldiers is extremely high, combat educated, this aspect of the U.S. military is also better than Israel, but the large-scale war, Israel because it is too small, or not work. In fact, Russia's air force strength is not strong, the number of Russian fighters is huge, but many are decades of the former Soviet Union left behind fighters, and in fact in terms of technology and quality and can not reach the world level, China's air force in terms of the overall quality of the overall quality of the and the ability to actual combat is less than that of Israel, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, etc., China's air force is currently most of the introduction of the Russian, Israel's military technology, but Can not surpass these 2 countries, they do not sell these core technologies to China, and in recent years the United States is worried about the Taiwan Strait military imbalance, to Israel pressure, but also led to Israel no longer export weapons to China, in 1989 after Europe and the United States unanimously decided to impose an embargo on weapons to China. The J-20 is only developed on the basis of Israeli and Russian warplanes, China's achievements in scientific research are not outstanding, in addition to military technology for any country to keep the degree of secrecy is quite high, so naturally no one will share the top military technology with China, especially Europe and the United States of a party and not elected by the people's government are generally hostile to China is naturally included, so Europe and the United States is more than ever will not sell military technology to China, so naturally, Europe and the United States will not sell military technology to China. China's military technology sales, which naturally limits the development of China's military, and the military industry developed between several countries in the military technology often cooperation, China is also natural in the military field and the first few military field leading countries to widen the distance between the military, and in fact China's military capability is overblown, the number of troops can not be equal to the number of powerful. China's air force is huge, but a lot of too old still in service, or relatively lack of attack aircraft, even after World War II, the U.S. Air Force is less than, in fact, many people do not know the U.S. military how powerful, the U.S. Air Force, the world's number one, but their fighters more than in the 50s, 70s developed fighters, such as: b-1, b-52 and other bombers, and its operational The ability to far more than China's recent years of development of the Boom series of bombers, it can be said that the United States in the military science and technology do not know how many years ahead of China, is the United States in recent years did not develop bombers? Of course there is, their military technology is very secret, will not immediately service, as long as to maintain leading you for decades is enough, the latest development of military technology once in service, easy to cause the risk of military technology leakage.
Army Army Army ranked high bottom of the significance of the relative Navy and Air Force, the significance is really not very big, if the number of the Navy and Air Force is now equal to the Army, that is called powerful, information technology, technological war, is to fight the war at sea and in the air, the Army belongs to the Cold Warriors, the Army is just the main force of the traditional battles, and is now no longer a very important role, but Comprehensive factors to consider, to provide combat strength, the army should be the third line of defense following the Navy, the Air Force, as if the World War II period of the home front generally can with the Air Force in order to fight a beautiful battle, why the Japanese army more so soon to occupy China, because they hold China's air power, Chiang Kai-shek's army can only rely on the number of people, the advantages of time and space, on the Chinese air force itself, all rely on the number of army plus Points, in fact, the strength is very general, according to the current strength of China's land forces can only be ranked fourth in the world, the first or the United States, 8,000 various types of M-1 tanks, the full elite mechanized units, the world's top auxiliary armor defense, the second is Russia, the third is Germany has the world's best self-propelled artillery and more than 3,000 elite Leopard 1/2 type tanks. The scale of its main battle armor, the number of real is not under our army, quality, not to mention, Germany is also for the fully mechanized forces, the fourth China's tanks and armor technology strength into the world's top five, mainly in the number of land forces overwhelmed others, Britain, France, Germany and other land forces are significantly better than China's equipment, only China has an advantage in scale, so China's army can only rank fourth. China's army number of the world's largest, mostly by the army to fill the number, for national defense, defense is far more important than resistance, the navy and air force is the main force of defense, the army is only suitable for the local resistance, the navy and air force are a failure, then these land forces are not suitable for modern warfare, waiting for disarming it. In fact, as long as it is not a home invasion, in the modernization of the war, the army can not be used, so the real war or the need for the navy and air force, but in the navy and air force in this regard is not the size of the fight is science and technology, so China in this area of the military science and technology is still very backward.
Intelligence The United States has the world's top intelligence agencies, including telephone, satellite, radar, network, GPS and a series of listening and cracking technology, can be the first time to get the other side of the intelligence, from the World War II period of the European theater of the German invasion of Poland, Norway, to the Asian theater of the war in the Pacific war between the Japanese and the U.S. military, this kind of intelligence agencies in the war at all times play a very Important position, including the Second World War in the Chinese war zone of eight years of resistance in the Kuomintang intelligence agency Military Intelligence Bureau, the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau in the anti-Japanese period under the leadership of Dai Hasa made great achievements, but also become the world's famous five major intelligence agencies. The same intelligence is inevitably indispensable institutions in the army, at present on the world intelligence technology, in possession of a large amount of information, but also do know your enemy, the world intelligence agencies, the United States is still the first, the second is the United Kingdom, the third Russia, the fourth France, the fifth is Israel, the sixth is Germany, today's Australia, Pakistan, India, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Canada, etc., also to be Slightly better than China, due to China due to some political specificity, so the intelligence agencies have a certain political risk, has been in the maintenance of a semi-survival state, currently unable to rank the top ten.
Comprehensive if compared according to the country, the Western countries corruption is very little, whether soldiers or generals, the quality is also less than their level, so the combat ability to reach their level, ranked behind Germany, the strongest military power in the EU is France, France's military equipment and technology ahead of China for a minimum of 10 years, in general, slightly weaker than China, Germany is militarily stronger than China powerful, should be able to second only to France, but Germany and Japan, like the lack of nuclear weapons, so the military strength is slightly inferior, Israel's country is small, fewer troops, mechanized forces, just fighting, good defensive capabilities, if the war with the big powers, the big powers can be used to enough space time resources consumption war to drag down the limited resources of the powerful countries, so it is more of a disadvantage, when Chiang Kai-shek in the eight years of resistance to Japan is the method of this. After all, put the old base are put together, but also can not beat others, and Japan's country is small, limited resources. Now Japan's air force is stronger, but the number of military establishment is limited by the post-World War II. If you add nuclear weapons, the world military ranking is the first United States, second Russia, third France, fourth China, fifth Britain, sixth India, seventh Germany. If in the ban on the use of nuclear weapons, China's ranking can only be in the fifth, Germany fourth, Britain sixth, India seventh, Japan eighth, Taiwan's military power is not bad, and China Taiwan imports are the United States of America's modernized fine equipment, the United States of America in the military field of the support of Taiwan is no bottom line, in the technical support is also given, whether the navy, army, air force equipment than the People's Liberation Army are better than the Chinese imported from the Russia's imports of weapons to be much better, and in the past China's defense military technology are dependent on Russia and Israel. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic for China to recover Taiwan by relying on its powerlessness, and it can only achieve peaceful unification. Take the international military defense field in 2006, the mainland and Taiwan's strength is not a big difference, only in recent years the mainland military field input growth is larger, strength also increased greatly, and across the sea into Taiwan, the PLA must have a strong navy as a backing, followed by the air force and land forces, as far as the current Chinese naval and air force strength, so very unrealistic. Although invested in a strong R & D lineup, but not as good as the Ukrainian military technology, for example, the engine so far can not be domestically produced, but China in this regard to the advantage of the number of people overwhelmed others, people the United States to a few anti-radar supersonic bombers directly into your military zone, bombing your radar, communications and other military systems, cut off your lifeblood, your entire military layout is paralyzed, to the United States of America's strength to fight China is also in the air. Now fighting information technology, technological war, so do not masturbate China's military how powerful, powerful or not powerful to see China's military technology know. And China's military is also the good news not to report the bad news, the Chinese people on China's military or lack of knowledge. Don't guess how powerful China is or belittle other countries from what junk information and false reports and other comments. The military is not blown out, it is fought out. The most touching thing for China is still from the Gulf War. China had many similar weapons to the Middle Eastern countries, and the West defeated them overwhelmingly, at a very small cost. Many of the battle examples can be considered classics. It touched the PLA a lot. From that time onwards, they realized how big the gap between one generation of weapons is. 100 years ago, Chinese and British soldiers had guns, but the result was that 4,000 British troops defeated millions of Qing soldiers, and the reason for this is that they were fighting a technological war. You can't beat people with cold weapons. China's navy, land and air force are very large, but a lot of them are cold weapons, which won't be a threat to the West at all, and most of the military technology is learned from Russia. What's more, people in Russia won't give you the real technology, so China's military is not so big as to pose a threat to other people now. The United States from the first time to abandon the traditional battles should be the Gulf War, the traditional battles are mostly land-based, World War II are traditional battles, now the United States to fight a country, generally will sail the Navy to the vicinity, and then the Navy to cover the Air Force, the Air Force on land, military facilities, radar, communications, etc. bombing to achieve the role of sabotage and disruption of the second wave of indiscriminate bombardment of the military zone, the entire defense system paralyzed, once the other side of the air force does not have much defensive capability, the army that can only be said to be a pose, followed by the air force under the cover of the army or marines sent to encircle those scattered guerrilla army, so after the Gulf War, the U.S. military casualty ratio is very low, low to the history of rare, which is why, after the Gulf War, China emphasized the development of scientific and technological military, and completely discarded the traditional military concepts in the past.
Currently China is still more than 10-20 years behind the second-rate military western countries in military technology.
