This is a purely numerical comparison based on publicly available data from the Global Firepower Index. It does not account for: nuclear weapons capability, alliance networks (NATO, etc.), technology quality or generation of equipment, terrain and defensive advantages, cyber warfare capability, troop morale and training quality, or economic sustainability of prolonged conflict. Real-world military outcomes depend on countless factors beyond raw numbers.
