In the 2025 report published by the US-based Global Firepower, the world's strongest armies were listed. The ranking, prepared considering more than 60 criteria such as military personnel numbers, defense budgets, air and naval power, logistical capacity, and technological superiority, highlighted Turkey's position.

TURKEY HAS DROPPED ONE RANK

At the top of the list is the United States, followed by Russia and China. This year, Turkey entered the list of the world's strongest armies in ninth place. Turkey, which stands out with its domestic production initiatives in the defense industry and regional military operations, emerged as NATO's second strongest army. Turkey was in eighth place in 2024.
