The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Iran

Iran’s population is 81 million, which means it has a few extra heads to help with its growing military. Today, there are 934,000 soldiers in the armed forces with more than 534,000 actively serving at any given time.

In the last few years, Iran has steadily built its military to include 407 fighter planes, 100 helicopters, and a trainer aircraft. Its ground force is quite spectacular: almost 2,900 combat tanks roam its floor with an additional 28 submarines in its surrounding waters. The country spends $19.6 billion USD a year on its military.
