The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Pakistan

Pakistan has one of the biggest militaries in Asia, making it a worthy opponent. With 654,000 active personnel and a further 550,000 on reserve, the country is always ready to fight and protect itself. It is estimated that the country’s armed forces have 74 ships, 923 aircraft, and almost 2,200 tanks.

Oddly enough, Pakistan’s army operates independently from the country’s government or citizens. This means, in theory, it acts as its own force and does not answer to politicians. Its budget is $10 billion a year.
