and military size doesn’t totally correlate with how difficult it is to invade… geography plays an enormous role

It always amazes me how Malta is never mentioned in having the smallest army. We only have around 2000 soldiers, no tanks, a very small navy and only a few aircrafts without weapons and only used for search and rescue.

I think it is safe to say that Russia may have dropped a rank or two since this came out.

I used to be an American Paratrooper and I often trained with nato militaries and I’ll I have to say is this. The British Paras are by far the best trained fighting force over ever seen in operations. I guess when you’re a small homogeneous force it’s easier to train all of your men to that degree. Cause they put us to shame tactically speaking in small unit movements

[jackjackingson]

I was expecting this to be more about things like geography, social cohesion, ect. A strong army is important, but is by no means the deciding factor on how difficult a country is to take over.

"The Us doesn't have hypersonic weapons"

We just successfully tested them, this year.

You should take cybersecurity into account in your military powers vids. A modern military is worth nothing if it gets heavily disrupted by cyberattacks in the first hours of defending itself

That part about the Chinese soldiers getting bummed out and having those entertainers cheer them up was crazy.... 😬

[joydeepmukherjee]

India has 3 Aircraft carrier, 2 operational and 1 under construction, Its developing it's own 4.5G Tejas MK2 and 5th Gen AMCA. India's missile program is one of the deadliest and most advanced program with a huge line of versatile weponery. India is also developing it's own arsenal of weapons to decrease it's dependencies over US or Russia

[davidforrest]

Brazil have a solid defensive military, they have enough troops and tanks to defend against any other south american country and have the navy to over power any other navy in the area other than America. All it means is they would struggle really bad as an offensive force without air superiority, but they have enough defensive units to be able to deter an enemy from attacking them not to mention the land itself being very difficult for an occupying force to navigate through. Its a good balance to be fair

I believe in all of these videos a lot of key factors are missing when it comes to war, as anyone that has served or has any military experience will know, defeating someone in battle does not just happen because you have more numbers than them or better equipment...although it does help. Things such as the morale, combat experience, leadership, level of training and skill of each individual is vital in war because if any of these are lacking it can turn tides. One soldier that is extremely skilled with a basic rifle is better than 10 that don't know how to use their good ones. or as Napoléon put it, "if you build an army of 100 lions and their leader is a dog, in any fight, the lions will die like a dog. BUT if you build an army of 100 dogs and their leader is a lion, all dogs will fight like a lion.”

The video was titled about what would be the hardest to annex, or invade, but it ended up being about only military power. These may share, and the military power does make invasion harder, but geography and other things play a role too. For example: The Swiss military may not be the biggest (Excluding the reserve force), but Switzerland is way harder to take over than you would think. Period.

Brazil also has some major advantages, a huge population, and terrain so horrible that even Brazil strugges to develop itself, Brazil has lots of costal cities, most of the major cities are costal, what folks don't realize is that vast majority of second tier cities are in highlands (wich spreads all over across the continent), and are filled with with military hqs
It would be easy to invade Brazil, but incredibly difficult to hold or retreat.

"Russias spot at number 2 has been eroding and likely won't remain much longer"

That aged well

Honestly, what does the infographics show have against the U.K. It’s kinda funny 😂

I have to say this, because I am British. When Argentina first invaded the Falklands an incredibly small group of Royal Marines disabled lots of important equipment for a war like submarines and artillery. Eventually when they were told to surrender to keep them alive by the Great British government, the Argentinians had to count how many Royal Marines there were, because they did not believe that such a small group of incredibly brave soldiers could have caused so much damage and disruption.

Interesting that the B-2 bombers and laser weapons weren't included. And the UK is probably much higher on this list due to its training and command capabilites. It's not just numbers as we keep being shown.

Canada has polar bears and killer whales on patrol 24/7. Come at dare you.
