Pakistan military has been ranked as the 11th strongest military in the world, as per a Credit Suisse report on globalisation.
Ranked seven spots after Indias military, the report gives Pakistan a final military strength score of 0.41. Further, the report reveals that Pakistans active personnel number stands at 710,000 and has it more weaponry than Germany, Australia, and Canada.
The report ranks the strength of 20 countries according to weaponry, including tanks, aircraft, helicopters and submarines, each country represents.
The US is listed as number one followed by Russia, China, Japan and India in the top five.
The report said, Our analysis reveals the military superiority of the United States in conventional war capabilities compared to its close rivals. Its fleet of 13,900 aircraft, 920 attack helicopters, 20 aircraft carriers and 72 submarines far outweighs the military might of any of its close rivals and so does its defense spending worth $610 billion in 2014, which is far more than the combined military expenditures of the next nine countries in our index.
In reality, in todays nuclear era, conventional forces are not the only indicator of military strength. Russia and the United States account for more than 90% of global inventories of nuclear weapons according to data provided by Stockholm International Peace Research Institutes (SIPRI) Yearbook 2015, it added.
