Analysis methodology Global Fire Power
Global Firepower experts weighed more than 60 separate factors in their assessment of the PowerIndex of each country. In particular, the number of military units and financial status were taken into account, as well as logistical capabilities and geographic location.
Our unique, proprietary formula allows smaller, more technologically advanced nations to compete with larger, less developed nations, and special modifiers in the form of bonuses and penalties are applied to further improve the list, which is compiled annually.
It is noted that the colored arrows on the right side of each country indicate a comparison of trends over the year. Green - growth; gray - stability, red - decline.
It is also noted that the trends do not necessarily indicate a decrease in power, as changes in the GFP formula can also explain this.
Note. The ideal value of PwrIndx is 0.0000, which is not realistically achievable under the current GFP formula; Thus, the lower the value of PwrIndx, the more "powerful" the country's conventional combat capability is.
Recall
Last year, Ukraine was included in the top 15 strongest armies in the world by Global Firepower. At the time, our army was ranked 15th among 145 countries by American analysts.
