The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Brazil

When your country’s population is 209 million, you have a few extra folks ready to serve in the military. Brazil has an impressive 1.6 million people on reserve waiting to serve if needed. Interestingly, its active army is only 384,000 people, which is relatively small considering its size.

Despite the fairly small number of active personnel, Brazil’s armed forces have 13 helicopters, 224 fighter aircraft, and many transport vessels. A whopping $29 billion is spent on the military each year.
