Let's begin at looking at the military of India India seems to be
modernizing its military and its nuclear capabilities while keeping an eye on
China another world superpower now India currently ranks fourth in terms of global military power and
India has been quickly developing new military technologies taking a look at the specific military
statistics the available manpower for India is
616 million active personnel sits at 1 million three hundred sixty two
Thousand five hundred and they have two million eight hundred and forty four thousand seven hundred fifty reserve personnel
Now it turns of Pakistan's military the Pakistani Armed Forces are ranked 13 in the entire world
But there are the six largest in terms of active military personnel
And the largest among all the Muslim nations and also to note Pakistan has the world's sixth largest nuclear
Arsenal in terms of Pakistan's military breakdown it looks like this Pakistan has available manpower of 95 million people
their active personnel is at
637 thousand and they have two hundred eighty two thousand reserve personnel
Now in comparing the army strength of India and Pakistan India's Army has four thousand four hundred and twenty-six combat tanks
They have six thousand seven hundred and four armored fighting vehicles
292 rocker projectors seven thousand four hundred and fourteen towed artillery as well as
290 self-propelled artillery
now for Pakistan's army strength
They have two thousand nine hundred twenty four combat tanks two thousand eight hundred and twenty eight
Armored fighting vehicles the rocket projectors in their possession total at one hundred and thirty-four they also have three
Thousand two hundred seventy eight towed artillery
And they're self propelled artillery total is at four hundred see five now moving on from the land up into the air
Let's compare their air power
India has six hundred and seventy six fighter aircrafts and eight hundred and nine attack aircrafts their transport aircrafts total at
857 their trainer aircrafts are read
323 and they have a total of six hundred and sixty six helicopters oh
That's probably bad luck and also India has sixteen attack helicopters now when you look at Pakistan's air power
We see that they have 301 fighter aircrafts
394 attack aircrafts
261 transport aircrafts, and they have 190 trainer aircrafts now. They're total helicopters are at
316 and they have 394 attack helicopters continuing now with the navy of these two amazing countries
India's total naval assets it at
295 in their Navy they have three aircraft carriers fourteen forgets 11 destroyers 15 submarines and
23 Corvettes and their mine warfare vessels total at six in Pakistan's Navy
They have a hundred and ninety seven total naval assets
They have 17 patrol craft ten. Frigates eight submarines and three mine warfare vessels now finally
Let's end off this video in looking at their total military
Defense budget India's defense budget is an estimated total of 51 billion dollars u.s.
India's defence budget is a fourth largest in the world and will be
12.1 percent of its annual spending in the year 2018 to 2019 and even though India's defense budget has
Really increased a huge chunk of it is going to be eaten up by its
Personnel costs so this may hold back some of India's Armed Forces
Plans especially when it comes to requiring new weapons now Pakistan's defense budget is a lot smaller at seven billion dollars u.s.
But reported that Pakistan will be increasing its defense budget by around seven percent
Now the past couple years Pakistan's economy has grown quite a bit especially in the year 2016 it grew by
4.7
percent and with this Pakistan's military can focus on a lot of bigger priorities like new combat aircraft
Submarines as well as its country's missile programs
