India’s neighbour Pakistan has been ranked ninth and Italy takes the 10th position. South Korea, the United Kingdom, Japan and Turkey also feature in the top 10 list.
The rankings for the index are reached after judging the countries on several parameters, including military resources, natural resources, industry and geographical features and available manpower.
On their assessment methodology, Global Firepower said on their website: “Our formula allows for smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-developed powers and special modifiers, in the form of bonuses and penalties, are applied to further refine the list which is compiled annually.”
