To prepare this list, Global Firepower tests the military capabilities of every country on 50 different parameters. In this, natural resources, industries, geographical conditions and labor force are tested with military resources. It does not count the nuclear weapons. However, countries having nuclear weapons capabilities are given additional points. The defense budget also holds an important place in this assessment.
India is continuously improving its military by adding new weapons. The country is also the largest buyer of war weapons in the world.
