Ukraine took the 25th place in the ranking of the strongest armies in the world, improving the previous indicator. At the same time, Kiev claims that they have the "strongest" troops in Europe. However, according to the compilers of the list, the APU is still far from the Russian army.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine took the 25th place in the Global Firepower Index 2021 rating with an index of 0.4396.

Compared to the previous rating, the Ukrainian army has improved its position by two places.

As before, the USA has the strongest armies in the world (0.0718). Next are Russia (0.0791) and China (0.0854). The top five are India (0.1207) and Japan (0.1599).

Global Firepower evaluates countries by 55 indicators: the number of weapons, military equipment and the size of the army.

Experts also took into account transport infrastructure, the military budget, access to oil and the like.

As you know, in the budget for 2022, expenditures on national security and defense will amount to at least 5.95% of GDP.

According to the report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Ukraine in 2020 increased the financing of the army by 11% - up to $ 5.9 billion, which is why it rose one place in the world ranking. Since 2011, Ukraine's defense spending has increased by 198%.
