Your list of military spending is just expenditures, and does not mean military power.

for example 2005-2006 World TOP 10 - MILITARY SPENDING COUNTRIES are;

United States 335.7b
Japan 46.7b
United Kingdom 36b
France 33.6b
China 31.1b
Germany 27.7b
Saudi Arabia 21.6b
Italy 21.1b
Iran 17.5b
South Korea 13.5b

yet, Israel can easily defeat Saudi Arabia, S. Korea, Iran, Italy, all put together....


Millitary strenght depends not only spending, but also military equipment and manpower, for example, the top MILITARY MANPOWER nations are;

China 342,956,265
India 287,551,111
U.S.A. 67,742,879
Indonesia 60,543,028
Brazil 45,586,036
Pakistan 39,028,014
Russia 35,247,049
Japan 27,003,112
Mexico 24,488,008
Philippines 20,131,179
Poland 19,154,353
Egypt 18,347,560
Iran 18,319,545
Turkey 16,756,323

,,and here is a list of ARMOR UNITS

Russia 48,270
U.SA. 29,920
Israel 14,200
China 13,200
Egypt 9,357
Turkey 8,384
France 7,165
North Korea 6,875
India 6,560
Great Britain 5,325

..and finally list of Aircraft and Helicopter Units;

U.S.A. 18,169
China 9,218
Russia 7,331
India 3,382
Israel 2,451
France 2,175
Turkey 1,964
Great Britain 1,891

The list is grossly innacurate.
does it mean the top ten millitary powers in terms of nuclear weapons??
then that would be
1.USA
2.Russia
3.China
4.Isreal
5.UK
6.France
7.India
8.Pakistan

Does it mean the top ten in Projecting millitary power?
i.e intervening internationaly by force

1.USA
2.France
3.UK
these are the only countries that can move troops and equipment
quickly to any location in the world and fight a war.


Do you mean in overall millitary capability(conventional forces only)

then

1.USA
2.Isreal
3.UK
4.France
5.Germany
6.Russia
7.China
8.India
9.Turkey
10.South Korea
11.Japan
12.Pakistan
13.Tawian
14.Egypt
15.Italy/Spain

equipment and manpower both quality and quantity have been used to make the list.

Isreal is number 2 becuase it has more fighter aircraft than UK or France or Germany and it has more tanks than UK and France combined along with the more extensive experience.
