What is the most powerful military in each of the seven continents? Well, six really because Antartica.

North America: United States
South America: Brazil?
Europe: Russia
Africa: Egypt
Asia: China
Oceania: Australia

Disagree? Tell me why. I don't know much about South American militaries other than Brazil spends the most.

>powerful military

what do you mean by this?

Power projection?

Manpower?

Airpower?

Armourpower?
>>
Algeria is probably the most powerful African military.

I'll leave that to your discretion. If it helps you can think of it as an aggregation of a nation's military might and ability to make war.

Have you forgotten the US is literally everywhere and primed to move at a moments notice?

Probably strongest in the Philippines.

The US military out classes the rest...but OP's question is about militarys from the different regions of the world.
I agree with OP.

South African military is far better than Egyptian.

Europe: France/UK?
Russia: Russia

Oceania: Australia

Russia straddles europe and asia so I put it in its own categroy. dunno why everyone is saying egypt for africa when south africa exists
>>
>>29828312
North America is practially just the united states as a whole, because canada's military literally has no differences.

South America is a interesting case, Brazil has the logistics and the numbers but Chile has adequate training and german exports, because of their age old friendship.
I'd honestly say Chile, Brazil has capabilities but Chile more then likely has better training.

Europe is difficult, because if we account for NATO and EU western europe as a whole would be a very formidable force. Especially with the inclusion of the UK and France. But if we were to talk about a lone nation, It'd definitely be russia.

Africa is a mess, if we're talking about man-power it'd go to egypt but we've all heard of middle eastern blunders and military failures, if we were to talk about training, equipment and abilities in total I'd make a good but South Africa has them beat.

China definitely holds the force over asia, but for actual assessment we've also got to compare it to forces which operate via JTF, like SK and JP. South Korea has conscription as well as constant battle readiness due to the ongoing war with the DRPK, they're also on a continent so they are not limited to naval or air travel. I'd definitely say china could easily wipe a lot of nations into the ground but subsequently south korea is quite capable of defending themselves.

Oceania goes to Singapore, if we're talking about the present day. ADF feels more like canada in terms of actual capabilities compared to Singapore. But we're upping our abilities so we'll probably in improve by 2020.

this is a really interesting one as an nzer. I'm pretty sure straya's power projection far exceeds singapore's, especially once you get those new french subs.

singapore cannot into stuff like airlift on the scale that straya can
>>
>>29832746
Let us not forget that Tones was going to send in the SASR in to snatch back the Bali 9 until he learned of the M I G H T of the Indonesian military and pussied out. Their supremacy really is indisputable desu.
>>
>>29832759
Power projection, yes I'd agree. We are adequtely armed with LHDs, and with the two new carries could easily make a formiddable foe in oceania.

We just need to up our forces, we've got abrams, m113s and LAVs. they're definitely not bad but we're more of tie in force then an independent army. And as a isolated continent as well as being miles away from any friendly force we really need to be indepedent and start fighting for ourselves. I'm not saying drop out of the commonwealth but actually become a good army. We're technical up in the 20's in the power index but we need to better.

I actually want us to do more weapons deals with china, I know about the whole quality abloo bloo but honestly, it'd be pretty interesting to see how we could work out arms deal, having a big friend in pacific might help a lot.

>having a big friend in pacific might help a lot.
Thats not how china works. They don't want to be your friend, they just want to own you. The kiwis are finding out the hard way that sucking Chinas dick just results in economic uncertainty (corruption and randomly cancelling import licenses) and a dilution of sovereignty (buying up local land like its going out of style).
>>
>>29832845
I mean military wise, I don't american shit again.
I want either european exports like IFVs, APCs.
If I were going by hope, I'd want australia to be armed by russia with their new universal platform but that's a fucking joke diplomatically.

Realistically, our best bet would be european technology. Mabye further our friendship with france and the scandies, get some nice artillery and air defence.

No one fucks with Antarctica because that is where Hitler silently moved to after WWII subsided. Id say Antarctica has the most powerful military in the world.

Chile is not even close to the capabilities of Brazil, the Brazilian army is six times the size of the Chilean. And as of training, both have conscripts as the main battle force, there isn't a lot of differences.

Chilean army: 36k / Reserves: ?
Brazilian army: 220k / Reserves: 1.3M

>>29828312
Morocco isn't bad too , they ordered some rafale upgraded f16 and even some apache AH
And they already have m1a1 and good fleet.
But too many conscripts

Abrams is ill suited for that region since it's enormously heavy and you need to sealift it everywhere.

Europe: Depends if the Russians want to be considered "European" today. If so, Russia, if not, France or Britain.

The training is different, and their equipment as well. You can have numbers but training is quite important.

Germany is host to several American military bases, and "international" (American) air bases.

Americans don't like shit getting stirred that close to their bases (where families are stationed, not just FOBs) so it would be a super-bad idea.
