Iron Man vs Our Planet

the rank is based on economic capacity to sustain war effort, number of troops, quantity and quality of weapons and vehicles. it does not include nuclear weapons however.

Indian army has seen a lot more action than either japanese or german armies after the wwII - 8 armed conflicts including one insurrection quelling. Probably saw more action than france and england in the same period too.

I wouldnt dismiss turkey's firepower against israel either. sure israel has a lot of sophisticated weaponry and constant activity and upgrading, but turkey invests almost twice as much money on the military and has more troops, vehicles and weapons.

I'll grant that I undersold India's practical experience, but these conflicts were mostly border skirmishes and as memory serves India lost or drew in almost all of them.

England and France have both fought long distance wars, in England's case they fought a somewhat competent and somewhat powerful military in Argentina.

Turkey has a larger economy, which is why Turkey would win a war of attrition, but in a short term conflict where the aim is to disable the enemy's immediate capacity to fight I'm betting Israel would win quite decisively. Their air force is the real killer and I don't think Turkey has proven a capacity for taking something like that on.

On the subject of Turkey's military I actually saw a Turkish book recently that actually plots out a hypothetical Turkish-American war where Turkey wins. It's not so much that that made me laugh and roll my eyes as much as it is the way it was accomplished. Some Turks steal the plans for some new top secret super nuke, build it, and then use it to destroy Washington DC. And as we all know devastating an American city is the best way to make America not want a war. 🙄

Also the reason for America invading Turkey in the book was precious: so we could seize Turkey's all important supplies of borax. 😂

Argentina sucks.

But yeah, France and England had been fighting to some capacity in the last few decades. Those African ex-colonies cannot get exploi- errr... take care of themselves.

you know it's the borax that makes the world go arround, the usa will be lost without it

yeah the IAF does seem all powerful in the region for now. also true about the falkland wars and britain's long distance warfare experience, although the argentinian army wasnt much to speak of to begin with.

...is it? crackers

😛

Edit: In any case I was ranking these militaries not based on how many troops or weapons they have or how big their guns are but on how effective they'd be at coordinating a resistance against Iron Man. Countries like India would basically be limited to defense while a country like Russia would just be striking blindly after Iron Man cripples their already shoddy military infrastructure.

hehe I actually thought borax was a fictional compound when I first read it, but after reading up on it in wikipedia I think it's plausible that war will be fought over it in the future. it can stop car radiator leaks and has anti-fungal properties

Besides, on a geopolitical level invading Turkey would make as much sense as invading Saudi Arabia. They're good allies. Without Turkey we'd basically be SOL in the Middle East. I didn't read the book, but I think it was basically envisioning an idiotic American government where a President like George W Bush fills his cabinet with his inbred cousins rather than his dad's golf buddies 😛

Yeah, Turkey is about as good an ally as you can get. Not like those American and their economical crises or those Pakistani with their Indian hate. People should learn from Turkey flirt
