The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Turkey

Due to its location above Lebanon, Turkey has been the center of many conflicts over the years. Its history is rich in war as much as it is in culture – continuing today with its battle with Syrian Opposition and Iraq. Its $18 billion annual budget helps the 410,000 active members of the military.

Overall, the Turkish army has more than 1,000 aircraft, 115 ships, and almost 4,000 tanks. For a population of almost 80 million, it has its work cut out for it. Here’s hoping it stops fighting soon enough.
