Russian experts believe that China’s actual military strength over Russia, can be classified as second in the world. In the near future, China will hit the U.S. and even the world’s number one military power status.

Russian media said the United States in 2011 the military strength of the latest world rankings show that the U.S. remains the world’s number one military power, Russia’s second, China third, followed by followed by India, Britain, Turkey, Korea, France, Japan and Israel. In this year’s ranking of national military strength a total of 55 countries, including Ethiopia, Switzerland, Belgium, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Qatar, Portugal, Finland, Malaysia and Singapore is the first list. The site in the assessment of national military power, the main parameters of reference 45, the official report of the United States Department of Defense, the CIA’s intelligence and open military publications and statistical reports based on data, five groups based primarily on the basic parameters, namely the number of troops , Army, Air Force and Navy weapons number, military scale. Verification of force is not included. Comprehensive calculation, the United States topped the list, the number of 150 million U.S. in total number of Army weapons and equipment 56,300/door (tanks, combat vehicles, artillery, etc.), Air Force 18200 (aircraft and helicopters), Navy 2400 (ships ), spending $ 692 billion. In contrast, the number of Russian weapons in the Army is almost twice the U.S. Army for 91,700/door, but not on other parameters such as the United States. The total number of 120 million Russian air force planes and helicopters 2700, 233 naval vessels, military spending $ 56 billion.

Russian media said the Russian Institute of Political and Military Analysis Analysis Center 赫拉姆奇辛 comments that China’s military strength can out in the second. He said: “I will China be listed in the second, the Russian came in third in the number of parameters on the strength of China has in the first addition, Beijing greatly increase defense spending in this area last year, a bit unusual , the defense budget increase of just 8%. As for why the United States on top, which is well understood, because it has a strong fleet, has a very strong technical component. “

Russian experts believe that the military budget contrast, the rankings reflect the situation is not very appropriate. He said: “Americans get compared to China’s military budget and, of course, is foolish, after all, the U.S. military almost equal to $ 700 billion. Indeed, approximately 20% for Iraq and Afghanistan, and all personnel on the supply side of the huge expenditure with China and we totally different, so this comparison inappropriate. “

Russian experts admitted that Russia’s future military spending will increase substantially, which Russian troops prepared to purchase in 2020 the total value of about 20 trillion rubles a variety of new weapons and equipment to achieve the modernization of Russian military equipment that support the national defense industry, which including missile manufacturing, military aviation, communications, command and intelligence systems, ammunition, shipbuilding and so on.
