Pakistan Army Achieves Top 10 Global Military Ranking
The Pakistan Army has surpassed numerous
developed nations to secure a position among the world's top 10 military
forces, as revealed by the Global Firepower Index 2024. This comprehensive
index, assessing 145 countries on factors such as military equipment, financial
stability, active soldiers, geographic location, and available resources,
places Pakistan in the ninth position.
In this ranking, which considers a
perfect score as 0, Pakistan achieved an index of 0.1711. While this reflects a
slight decrease compared to 2023, particularly due to Turkiye's upward
movement, Pakistan's military strength is still noteworthy. The country holds
the seventh position in terms of manpower and active personnel and maintains a
position within the top 10 in terms of airpower.
Furthermore, Pakistan excels in specific
military capabilities, securing a place in the top 10 for tanks, artillery, and
rockets. However, its naval power, natural resources, and reserves scored below
par in the index.
Despite facing economic challenges in
recent times, with Islamabad grappling with a significant economic crisis,
Pakistan's military prowess remains formidable. In financial categories, the
country ranks 23rd in Purchasing Power Parity, 62nd in forex reserves, 47th in
Defense budget, and 70th in External debt.
