"i know, i posted it there"-Renegade ---Aww come on dude! Is that all you have to say? At least go and defend your post, seeing as you were sure enough of its "accuracy" to post it in no less than 2 places outside of this board. You should have quit while you were ahead---there's no way we would have caught that many fallacies on the India board. -HoH

Is the most verifieable source of millitary rankings. Pakistan is at #20.  Tiny North Korea is ranked higher than Pakistan.
 
 
The Top 5 are USA, Russia, China, India and Germany.

Pakistan is definately not number 5, and India is not number 3 - yet, it probably will be in about 20 years but now their equipment is mostly out of date compared to first world countries.
 
Military strenght depends on the type of conflict. In current times of hi-tech arms, military spending pretty much tells the rank. Here the actual military rank is adjusted from that with population, arms quality, and overall economic capability, here's one way of listing top 50:
 
Rank
Rank in mil spending Military budget 2008 % 0f GDP
1 United States  1 548,531,000,000  4.0% Rank 2 by 2050-60?
2 China  2 63,643,000,000  2.0% Rank 1 by 2050-60?
3 Russia  6 38,238,000,000  3.5% Going towards rank 6-9 by 2020? potentially back to 4 by 2040??
4 United Kingdom  3 57,392,000,000  2.4% 6?
5 France  4 52,565,000,000  2.3% 7?
6 Germany  7 37,237,000,000  1.3% 5?
7 Japan  5 42,751,000,000  0.9% 3-9 until 2030, slowly lower after that
8 India  10 24,716,000,000  2.5% Going towards rank 3 by 2030?
9 South Korea  11 23,773,000,000  2.6%
10 Italy  9 32,103,000,000  1.8%
11 Saudi Arabia  8 33,136,000,000  9.3% Going towards rank 20 by 2050?
12 Canada  12 15,940,000,000  1.2%

Their list is ridiculous, trying to make ranking by counting manpower and artillery and failing in that aswell.
