The four most influential countries in Asia are China, Russia, India, and Japan. With their economic power, global influence, and combined military might, these four countries are a force. While the United States may rank as the most powerful nation, militarily speaking, these countries can each hold their own with their impressive militaries. One common thread between the most powerful militaries on the Asian continent is their air power. Russia, India, and China each boast some of the strongest air forces in the world, exerting dominance over their respective territories.
According to the United Nations, there are 48 Asian countries in what is best known as the world’s biggest continent. These smaller nations on the continent do not fully exert military dominance on the world stage; instead, they fall into a hierarchy of power within different regions, each of these countries exhibiting different strengths and weaknesses.
To determine the countries with the strongest military might in Asia, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2024 Military Strength Ranking from Global Firepower, an annually updated defense-related statistics website with information on 145 countries. Global Firepower ranked 145 countries based on their PowerIndex, a composite of over 60 measures in categories such as military might, financials, logistical capability, and geography. The smaller the PowerIndex value, the more powerful a nation’s theoretical conventional fighting capability is. We also included supplemental information regarding active military personnel, military aircraft, vehicles, and naval power.
