How does North Korea keep making these lists? The only military threat they are to anyone (aside from possible missile strikes) is South Korea and that's because their capitol is foolishly in range of the 40+ year old artillery pieces along the DMZ. The bulk of their equipment is old and out of date. They have critical fuel shortages. They have had no practical experience in the last 52 years. The only two things they really have going for them are numbers and perhaps motivation.

Calling the UK the second top military in the world is completely wishful thinking.

french stratege    air superiority is the prime factor to rank!   7/8/2004 3:32:35 PM
All conflicts have shown importance of achieving air superiority and protect your troops especially if they are less numerous, from WW2 to Kippour , to Lebanon in 82, to gulf war 1 or gulf war 2. Air superiority give freedom to bomb and is the most mobile artillery, antiship or antitank weapon!And the fastest to project! How can UK deserve a world rank second or even above Japaneses (which have 16 awacs and 300 F15j/F2) with an air force unable to take by its own air superiority agaisnt maybe the twelve better other air forces ?Their soldiers as good they can be, are not invisible and invulnerable!
