Actually, we DON'T have aircraft carriers right now. Pic related doesn't count as an aircraft carrier before anyone mentions it.

We have two carriers under construction which, when completed, will give us the strongest carrier force in the world after the US. But in the CURRENT YEAR we have no aircraft carriers.

A general military power list? It's impossible to do because countries have such different strengths. If you value expeditionary capability you'd have the UK above China, if you value land power alone you'd have China near the top and the UK wayyy down the list nowhere near the top 10.

What should have more emphasis in the ranking, power projection or the ability to mass power against neighbouring countries? Of course it depends on a country's priorities and foreign policy and geography and alliances and many other factors

So WHAT do you want us to measure Ivan?

Italy is 0.5 + 10 captured
Japan is 0.5 + 0.5 commit sudoku + 1 kamikaze

It will take time lad. The RN is trying to regenerate a capability it lost in the 1970s... before HMS QE is operational, all of this needs to happen

- the crew need to train with the ship, a brand new design of aircraft carrier (with the two towers and automation etc) so allied navies can't help much and the RN doesn't have any experience using a ship this large

- the RAF and FAA need to train extensively with the new F-35B jump-jets. There is experience with jump-jets (Harrier) but the F-35B is more advanced than any aircraft they have used before

- the F-35B fighters and the different types of helicopter have to train with the carrier in all the various sea states and environments they might encounter. Two-way data flow between aircraft systems and carrier systems must be flawless under all conditions

- now the hard part, the carrier must train and integrate with the other ships in the Royal Navy because it will sail as part of a Maritime Task Group

Global Firepower is objectively the best ranking website in the world. There is no metric where the UK has a better military than France at the moment. Once the UK gets its carriers (if they can afford to use them) they will overtake France, but for now, the list is correct.

You can launch the ship today but we would still lack trained crew and aircraft to go with it, we are pretty much having to train the aircrew, handlers, mechanics and deck staff from scratch since we lost that experience when the Harrier was retired.

Global firepower is about military power, a civilian with a gun is not going to do anything in a military conflict. Our military branches are simply better equipped and trained than Switzerland, Czech Republic and Ukraine. Norway is about the same but lacks any power projection and doesn't have the layered air defense and navy we have. Sweden does have the numerical advantage when it comes to equipment but due to their military–industrial complex it's not the newest Western stuff.

Yes I don't know how they can put Netherlands below the likes of Switzerland

Daily reminder, the (archaic) Swiss air force has office hours, they rely on neighbouring foreign air forces to police their skies. Their land forces are mostly a bunch of conscripts with half arsed training

Switzerland should be right at the bottom of the barrel

Well, it's enough to defend ourselves from our neighbors(way more desu).

Even though our defense minister and everybody in the armed forces wants 2% of GDP now.

At least we get to make some shekels selling stuff.

No, both of them on the list.

Alwasy heard shit about how Germans have outdates stuff and training with broomsticks.

At the very least, it shouldn't be below Canada.

Canada doesn't even have a functional navy at the moment.
>>
>>57346450
This goes for every NATO country basically. Apart from a few, no one spends the required 2% GDP on defense.
It's good they are going public about this, it will pressure the government and it will create more public and political support to the cause. Our defense budget has recently been going up again actually, but it's just on a small scale. Even Hennis said there should be at least €2bn more added to the defense budget in the upcoming years. It's mostly needed to invest in new weapon systems, IT and start the replacement projects on our submarines and other naval vessels.
>>
>>57347206
Oh right. Yeah, German military is pretty dire.

The Japanese actually have a fairly powerful military if you accept that most of the emphasis should be on the navy. Their strategic situation is similar to the UK in that respect.

The big difference is that while the UK spreads its resources thin around the world, Japan concentrates everything in its local region and doesn't do much away from home. Also the Japanese don't have any SSNs which is a severe limitation to naval operations - if you don't have SSNs it basically means you can't go after an enemy navy, as diesel-electric submarines are too slow for hunting most surface fleet ships. It means you are purely defensive.

>>57347438
Yes true. They should be above Canada for sure.

I see.

But what happens with the Germans, is it the same things as Japan? Like they can't grow their military?

I know Japan been trying to ditch the Article 9 that forbids them to enforce their military.

Even though at this rate if Chinks decide to get to the island they won't be able to hold much longer, not without US.
>>
>>57347206
Depends on what you mean by decent I guess. It's hard to say since their military is untested to such a large degree. If you look at just size and equipment though, they're comparable to the European Big Three in alot of areas.
>>
>>57348036

Well, thinking in a way they have literally 0 experience on combat.

I remember a long ago a thread about Japs during Iraq War, but i think it was BS.
>>
>>57347926
>But what happens with the Germans, is it the same things as Japan? Like they can't grow their military?

No, with the Germans it's a deliberate decision to cut spending on the military. There are some limits but they are WAY below them. Look at this chart posted earlier >>57319793, do you see West Germany in 1990? That wasn't breaching any rules.

>Even though at this rate if Chinks decide to get to the island they won't be able to hold much longer, not without US.

What island, Japan? Imo China has absolutely no chance of invading Japan even if the USA doesn't help. The Japanese military is strong enough to defend Japan, where it's weak is attacking ability. I don't see much attacking capability at all.
>>
>>57347926
Germany's army is going to shit because they just don't care enough to maintain it. Hell, they just recently sold off alot of their tanks to Poland. There's still alot of trepidation about the military in Germany for rather obvious reasons, which is a large factor. It's not really considered a respectable profession.

As for Japan, they recently revised it so that they can defend allies in wartime, as well as export military equipment (right now they're trying to sell the Soryu to Australia and they tried to sell the P-1 to Britain). Japan's population as a whole disapproves of this pretty heavily according to polls though.
>>
>>57348221

So basically Germans don't update their military because "it would be racist"? Fuck.

Well, on the other hand you're right, Chinese military besides it's size and tecnology it's complete shit.

There's a video talking about it how it doesn't have uniforms and equipment enough for all the soldiers and that the branches has literally no contact between them.
>>
>>57348330

And because most of their generals and commanders are possessed by the spirit of Cadorna.
>>
>>57348426
>So basically Germans don't update their military because "it would be racist"? Fuck.
No, I don't think that's the reason.

Partly it's because of what the American anon says >>57348330

Also, since NATO expanded they're not a frontier country. They don't feel the same responsibility of defending Europe (rather than just defending Germany) as the UK and France.

Why? Some say the Germans are nervous of having a big military because of their history. I think that's a bullshit excuse because they did have a big military not long ago. I think they are free-riding on the rest of NATO in order to spend less because the most important priority of the German government seems to be this fetish for the "Black Zero" i.e. the balanced budget

>>
>>57348939
The "fuck the military" attitude is independent of the immigrants because the military spending was already very low before the Syrian war and the immigrants became an issue.

It was not about spending the money somewhere else, it was about NOT spending the money. The Black Zero.
