Switzerland

It really is true what they say about the Swiss. The country has a fairly modest armed force, despite a population of 8.4 million people. At any given time, there are 200,000 people active military members with an additional 120,000 on reserves.

Even though it has a small airborne force, this doesn’t include any attack helicopters. Generally, the army holds 224 combat tanks and more armed vehicles since it has no need for a navy. The country is completely land-locked and has no direct access to the sea.
