Army anti-rating: who is the weakest in the world?

4
The armed forces of world powers are customarily compared in terms of military power, budgets, and real-world capabilities. The United States of America is traditionally in first place, with a dozen air strike groups and the world's largest marine corps “carrying democracy” around the world. The military budget of the US Army is several times higher than the defense spending of the closest rival. The second and third places in the ranking are shared by Russia and China, and the PLA’s potential is growing right before our eyes.





It is curious what is going on in the army anti-rating and the armies of which states are the weakest in the world? This “honorary list” consists mainly of African states, but there are also Eastern European states, for example, Lithuania.

For example, in the Tanzanian army there are only 32 aircraft, 30 tanks and 350 armored vehicles. The island of Madagascar has 20 aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, respectively 12 and 103 units. Mozambique already has a fleet in the form of 4 boats, 4 aircraft, 96 tanks, 335 armored vehicles.

The former Soviet Republic of Lithuania has no tanks at all, they are replaced by 612 units of other armored vehicles. 10 aircraft are also available. In the Lithuanian Navy 10 boats are serving. In South American Uruguay, there are as many as 60 aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, respectively 79 and 474 pieces. In Panama, as in Lithuania, there are no tanks in principle. But there are 20 boats, 20 aircraft and 100 armored vehicles of different classes. African Cameroon is similar to Panama: it also does not have an equal number of tanks and armored vehicles. But there are 10 more planes and boats in Cameroonian troops in both cases.

The island Philippines have both an army and a navy, but in reality their army is unable to oppose anything significant to the Chinese National Liberation Army, which has a territorial dispute with the proud inhabitants of the archipelago.

Mongolia, blown by icy winds, is squeezed between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. The times of Genghis Khan are long gone, and in the event of a clash between the two powers, Mongolia will be easily captured by the first who sets foot on the steppe lands.

The leader of entreting is Costa Rica. The country does not have its own armed forces for lack of need. Being an extremely popular holiday destination for American citizens, the state is actually under the protectorate of Washington.

Over the years, the leaders of the ranking of the weakest armies in the world according to different calculation methods have periodically changed places. The states of Bhutan and Somalia also found themselves in the lowest position.

    If you look at how the numbers on the Internet are numbered, what starts with zero always stands before a unit. Therefore, the rating of the Ukrainian army begins with 00-11, which is clearly seen, they are in front of the US army.
