The World’s Strongest Militaries That Protect Their Country

Norway

Norway has a modest population of 5.2 million people, meaning its armed forces only holds 3,500 soldiers at any given time. The country keeps 46,000 on the waiting list for reserves if the country ever feels it necessary to deploy them.

Despite the small size, Norway has 57 fight jets and a few transport systems. Generally, the country focuses on its land tactics and does not spend time in the air. With its $7.2 billion budget, it collects naval equipment including submarines.
