Iran
Many wonder about Iran’s nuclear program, and rightfully so. The Persian state has sworn to decimate the State of Israel once it acquires nuclear weapons. Almost a million soldiers make up the armed forces of Iran. There are 2,895 tanks, 100 attack helicopters and 407 fighter jets in their arsenal. Let’s not forget that they have 28 submarines too.
Thailand
It’s the 20th most populous country in the world, and perhaps its 400,000 active soldiers reflect that great number. Thailand has 772 tanks, 81 seacraft, 551 aircraft and yearly expenditure of $5.2 billion. Recently Thailand has used its military might to quell fighting in Iraq and East Timor.
