The worlds 20 strongest militaries

20) Canada

Budget: $15.7 billion
Active frontline personnel:Â 92,000
Tanks:Â 181
Total aircraft:Â 420
Submarines: 4
Canada ended up at the bottom of the list due to the countrys small number of active personnel, its lack of aircraft carriers and attack helicopters, and its small number of tanks and submarines. However, Canada has still taken part in US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and it is a member of the NATO military alliance.
Canada is also a partner in the US F-35 program, although it mayÂ decline the purchaseÂ of F-35s depending upon the outcome of elections in October.

19) Indonesia

Budget: $6.9 billion
Active frontline personnel:Â 476,000
Tanks:Â 468
Total aircraft:Â 405
Submarines: 2
The Indonesian military placed above Canada due its high numbers of active personnel and its relatively large number of tanks. The military, however, suffers from a lack of carriers and aircraft, as well as a minute number of submarines.

18) Germany

Budget: $40.2 billion
Active frontline personnel:Â 179,046
Tanks:Â 408
Total aircraft:Â 663
Submarines: 4
The German military ended up low on the list due to their lack of power projection platforms. Germany does not have an aircraft carrier and has relatively few submarines which, according to the Credit Suisse methodology, drops its ranking.
But Germany does have a fair number of attack helicopters.Â Recently, the country has started consideringÂ offering military supportÂ to eastern European NATO members.

17) Poland

Budget: $9.4 billion
Active frontline personnel:Â 120,000
Tanks:Â 1,009
Total aircraft:Â 467
Submarines: 5
Poland edges out Germany in the list due to its larger number of tanks and a more fleshed out submarine fleet. Poland has alsoÂ drastically increasedÂ its military spending in reaction to Russias seizure of Crimea and the ongoing Ukraine crisis.

16) Thailand

Budget: $5.39 billion
Active frontline personnel:Â 306,000
Tanks:Â 722
Total aircraft:Â 573
Submarines: 0
Thailands military is currently in control of the country following a coup in May 2014. The military is a major player in maintaining Thai unity, and Thailand receives strong scores from Credit Suisse for its number of active personnel, its number of tanks, and its possession of an aircraft carrier.
Thailand also scores well as it has an aircraft carrier, although itÂ does not haveÂ an aircraft fleet to complement the vessel.
