Pakistan ranks 10 of 138 nations in military strength — Global Firepower index

ISLAMABAD: The Global Firepower Index, an online military ranking website, has ranked Pakistan 10 out of 138 nations in military strength in its 2021 ranking, a rise from previous years.
“For 2021, Pakistan is ranked 10 of 138 out of the countries considered,” Global Firepower said on its website.
The United States ranked number one on the list, followed by Russia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, France, United Kingdom and Brazil, in that order. Saudi Arabia was ranked 17th on the list, and the UAE 36th.
The finalized Global Firepower ranking utilizes over 50 individual factors to determine a given nation’s PowerIndex (’PwrIndx’) score with categories ranging from military might and financials to logistical capability and geography.
“Our unique, in-house formula allows for smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-developed ones and special modifiers, in the form of bonuses and penalties, are applied to further refine the annual list,” Global Firepower said.
