It not about hardware or look big and tough character... It about determination and mindset that will win any war...
The only nation that wins wars with both hardware, technology and warriors is the Turkish nation. England is definitely not stronger than Turkey neither in the air nor on land or at sea. England has nuclear power, but the Turks also have a lot of nuclear warheads left over from NATO. And Russia and America have confirmed that Turkey has its own nuclear technology. That is, the Turks most likely have their own nuclear weapons. In addition, they are consciously using Britain's power. They are increasing. There are 4 powerful states in the world. These states are: Russia, China, America and Turkey. American officials, Russian officials and NATO officials stated this.
I am a Scandinavian and no way Denmark is “stronger than Finland”.

They have not consireded reserve personnel as manpower into "strenght", only active personnel!
Real combat power of an army is shown on a real battlefield, no bragg no flash, only skill level and a good reason to fight. Especially when defending or attacking

The numbers do not explain Sweden and Canada being over Greece.
Yea 24k vs 142 000 is a tough one for sweden, tho we have one of the most advanced armies in the world, but a very small army.
Numbers isn´t al, there is much weight in what each asset can do war wise, but Greece numbers sure is better on paper.
But Sweden also have alot of well trained personel not to "old" from the cold war and years after that ranges upp to a million personell.
Greece army is from stoneage and everything in it is ready to be scrapped. But yes, failed to get mentioned.
Canada fights with the uk 🇬🇧 we are apart of the British empire our military is crap but we have the best trained troops in the world our special forces are better then the us even tho our gear is out dated everytime nato needs high ranking criminals taken out they call jtf2

Even in conventional weaponry France is above Italy in any category. His aircraft carrier is a single type but is nuclear powered.... The number of submarines you registered in the case of the UK and France does not either take into account they are too nuclear powered, be they attack submarines or thermonuclear missiles launchers.... By the way you "forget" the nuclear arsenals of the three powers (USA,UK and France).
Ok... This list is somewhat weird? I am biased because i am Finnish, but Finland in 18th spot? And behind such a powerhouses like Denmark, Netherlands, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Portugal? Finland might not have big active military but we have 900k reserve that has been in the army and most are taking part in wargames every few years while on the reserve? So why behind those said countries? If we judge only manpower and available equipment only edge those said countries have against Finland is Navy? And the equipment Finland has is on bar with anyone on the list? Like we have seen in Ukraine artillery is still the most important part of warfare and Finland has one of the strongest artillery on the EU or Nato?
I am Turkish, some idiot made a list and put it on UA-cam, Fin military should be in the top 5 country according Turkish generals estimate on tv show.

Something is wrong here, what criteria are used to position each country?
When I see what each NATO member has to offer, then Greece belongs at least 8th or at worst 9th place and not 11th.
Yeah then they put Sweden “stronger” with 20% of everything Greece has. They must have been smoking something.
He's most likely using global firepower which is pretty accurate however he's only listing military equipment vehicles and naval vessels he's leaving out reserve personal military infustructor and defense industries and defense spending so if he used all that some of these countries would be higher and some lower in ranking
You completely forget our six figured army reserve that can be pulled into service extremely fast. PERKELE! 🇫🇮

This ranking can`t be taken seriously. It`s poorly evaluated and somewhat weirdly put together. It doesn`t echo the real strenght of the mentioned armies.
And I have so much respect for them all❤
All of this is incorrect because your information is outdated even NATO's member list is not current. Turkey has effectively distanced itself after aligning with hostile entities and documented involvement in organized Turkish terrorism in Europe, including against NATO allies like Cyprus and Israel. I have been a pilot for five years now, trained in Greece for two years. Without specifying aircraft models, when I was in training, Greece had 220 jets. Based on upgrades, sales, and new purchases, their current fleet is around 120 aircraft used for training or as spares and 130-140 advanced jets. They have also ordered an additional 84 advanced aircraft, of which 34 are ready, with more on the way. This means the actual number fluctuates, but I estimate that by 2028-2029, they will have around 390 all advanced i don't add the spare and the training aircraft because i don't know if they will keep them or recycle/donate them.
However, as a pilot, it's not just the type of aircraft that matters it's the skill of the pilot. During my training years, I witnessed pilots performing amazing maneuvers that I couldn’t replicate. In some cases, Greek pilots demonstrate exceptional skill with certain aircraft models, even surpassing American or French pilots. I can't definitively say who is the best, but these three groups each have a unique mastery in their own way.
How old is.this as Poland has more now
Dünyadaki tüm pilotlar ABD pilotları bile Türkiye'de eğitim alıyor bunu unutma
Evet yunan pilotları çok yetenekli özellikle ege de türk pilotlarından kaçarken😂

It would have been interesting to count up the total number of different NATO weapons systems at the end of the video. So now I have to torture my calculator to find out.
Türkiye is 2. Power in the ..not UK!!!
for the Italians it was enough to be above France 😂😂😂
It is going to be interesting to see the same line up in 3-5 years! My guess is that Poland, in particular, and the Nordic countries will be moving up that list like a rapid forest fire.
@@TheKyosanim62 This list is amateur nonsense, look at NATO’s and ISW lists.
No country can stand on NATO ever
How do you rank these countries???
putin does not stand chance against nato
if this was an accurate video, it would take 30 minutes just explaining the Turkish military. Overall, not bad.
Δεν είναι σωστή η κατάταξη. Η Ελλας είναι ένοπλο έθνος και η στρατιωτική της ισχύς δεν δικαιολογεί την 11η θέση. Δηλαδή η Σουηδία πρέπει να είναι ισχυρότερη στρατιωτικά; Από ποιούς κινδυνεύουν Ισπανία και Πορτογαλία για να έχουν ισχυρότερο στρατό και στόλο από την Ελλάδα; Εμείς όμως γνωρίζετε από ποιους κινδυνεύουμε.
Great 🇪🇺
I had no idea Iceland didn't have a standing army! It really shows how diverse the military capabilities are within NATO. Some countries rely heavily on others for defense, while larger nations carry most of the weight.
Britain is one of smallest countries and always stood way above its weight in aiding others and also declared war on Germany in the 2nd World war when Germany went into Poland via , this via their prime minister Winston Churchill who said in a phone call to Hitler ..Get out of Poland now , although this was ignored , this was when Churchill then declared war on Germany and rest is history .
what about finland's 900k soldier reserve
It's not about strongest to weakest. The point of this video is there are 32 country's in NATO with their armies
Finland great soldiers. Very tough
Thank you for showing actual ‘aircrafts’ instead of adding random aircrafts for other countries.
wow so italy could conquer france and germany... "land fighters..sea fighters..air fighters" the empire is returning to rome 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Doesn’t Iceland have a coast guard ship? If that doesn’t counts then never mind
Don't mind hin.....he said Romania have 4 patrol ships......it has more than 4 on each port town along the Danube and Black Sea coast......
The list seems inaccurate regarding the Netherlands.The RNLAF has 40 fighter jets (52 pcs in 2026). Also not mentioned is the rocket artillery (20 pcs in 2026, 4 pcs operational)
You must be joking…
For example, Italy above France? France is a nuclear power…and also produces her own 4++ generation jets.
Italy is strong only in navy.
Sweden and Poland above Greece?? 200 modern jets and 1400 tanks. Hello???wake up friend
Informati bene prima di commentare...fai una tua classifica e vediamo quanto è attendibile in base alle tue preziose informazioni 😂
do your homework the numbers for many countrys simply dont fit!!
8:58 the information about the helicopters is a bit obsolete.
How Sweden is above greece is a mystery.condidering the number's greece is 3 times stronger than sweden
Fine this is a point of view, but what countries are producing or has capability to produce defence products, and what type each? isn't play any role? Because as i know some producing for other ''customers'' but in any time could use them.
This video just list's a numbers digged from wikipedia or such and compared as "a > b" without thinking a bit of the capabilities of the armies, quality of equipment, training, reserves or anything actually important.
- "In this video, we rank and analyze NATO countries based on their military strength."
That is bullshit, you go where the fence is lowest just to get some video out.
I don't see any reference to SIPRI in Sweden, the most reliable source of true military strength in the world, your numbers are quite wrong in some aspects, YOU need to review them ASAP

Your ranking is incorrect. France is the third nuclear power, after Russia and the United States. It is also the second naval power after the United States, largely thanks to the strategic presence of its overseas territories. The French Foreign Legion is deployed all over the globe, not to mention that French-made weaponry is equipped with cutting-edge technology, and that is just one example among many. It is not enough to base a country’s power on numbers alone. According to your logic, one could classify Saudi Arabia as the world’s leading power simply because it buys and possesses one of the largest arsenals of weaponry. In my opinion, the three main OTAN powers are the nuclear powers: the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
UK Navy is superior to the French yet the French army is larger and this is natural considering the French are land locked while the UK are not. Both a very close and either could be 2nd.
Informatevi bene e capirete che è tutto giusto
US is far ahead, in Europe it's UK and France that had biggest military budgets last 30 years and are the two top military powers. The biggest European economy is the German, then it's UK and France, then Italy and Spain.
I don’t understand what you mean by France is the third Nuclear power behind USA and Russia??
@@heroicDale I mean in terms of the number of military nuclear warheads
I'm going to hear Petrol Vessels all night instead of Patrol Vessels.
One of the biggest problems for NATO from the beginning is that they do not speak the same language and they cannot communicate with each other. This will be a problem on the battlefield But I wish them good luck ps, I pick up on another Difficulties That NATO will also have
You are absolutely right
