France
Ranked seventh for military power worldwide, France has a pretty forceful army. With about 270,000 active personnel, this is not a nation that puts a lot of the budget into defense. Their aircraft strength is 1057, and they also have 432 helicopters in possession. This nation is certainly flying high!
South Africa
South Africa is ranked 32 in terms of military strength compared to other nations. With 66,500 actives and 15,000 reserve personnel, this is a nation with less of a military population than most might expect. With 3 submarines and 31 patrol vessels, these guys have more luck on sea than on land.
