[UBR.ua] During the ten months of the war, the Ukrainian army increased its military power and rose from 22nd to 15th place in the ranking of the world's strongest armies out of 145 countries. Russia remains in second place
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is called the strongest army in Europe, but in the world ranking it has risen from 22nd to only 15th place due to logistical problems, logistics and the state of its own military-industrial complex (MIC). This was told to UBR.ua by a military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Skripkin.
So, the other day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine rose in the annual ranking of the military power of Global Firepower (GFP-2023) from 22nd place, which they occupied before the war, to 15th. According to the results of 2022, Ukraine militarily outstripped Iran, Israel, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Taiwan and Germany and 138 other countries.
This position is certainly higher than it was, but lower than that of the Russian army, which continues to occupy the place of the "second army of the world" in the military rating.
“First of all, in such cases, one should pay attention to the criteria taking into account which the rating is compiled. In this case, obviously, logistical criteria, logistics, the state of our own military-industrial complex were taken as the basis ... Therefore, the rating is not as high as expected would," military expert Oleg Skripkin commented to UBR.ua.
