According to the rating compiled by the authoritative Global firepower, ten the most powerful armies in the world are as follows: the United States of America, Russia, China, India, Britain, France, Japan, South Korea, Israel and Turkey.
The combat units of the Israeli army is 160 thousand people, and more than half a million regularly undergo the reservist gatherings. But the most amazing is the amount of Israeli arms: according to the publication, the Israeli army has 243 combat aircraft, 4 thousand tanks, 10 thousand armored personnel carriers, 300 artillery pieces, 3 frigates and 6 submarines. For the country that is on 148th place in the world and a population of which is slightly more than 8 million people - are impressive figures.
But in Israel TSAHAL is not just the army. This is a platform for the development of advanced technologies, modern types of weapons, as well as a significant item in the budget of the state. In the last year Israel signed the military contracts, the income from which amounted to 5.7 billion dollars. Moreover, taking into account the recent terrorist threats, Europe is one of the main buyers of Israel.
Of course, the army budget is more than $ 15 billion, but the Israelis know exactly what they spend the money wisely and usefully. The defense army of Israel operates according to this principle, when a soldier thinks only about how it is better to do his job, but not what to eat, what to wear and to fight with what. That is why it is in the rank of the best armies in the world.
