China has the most powerful military in the world with the US in second place and the UK trailing in ninth, a study has revealed. But Britain’s Armed Forces still managed to finish ahead of Germany in the global top 10.

Beijing’s military rated 82 out of 100 in a study using multiple factors to measure the strongest nations.

UK troops came second only to Russia in terms of fitness levels, measured by how much gear they carry, with the US third and Australia coming in at fourth.

Canada rated lowest in fitness but researchers at website Military Direct said their forces were the best paid.

The website, which sells military equipment, used a number of factors to award points out of 10 in different categories for its Ultimate Military Strength Index, unveiled today. They included budgets, number of inactive troops, air, sea and land resources, nuclear weapons and salary average.

>Military Direct claims Russia has the most powerful land force, with 54,866 vehicles, but America has the biggest air force with 14,141 planes. China has the strongest navy with 406 ships.

How many of those 406 ships are aircraft carriers? LOL.

On the deep blue sea there are 20 jump carriers in the world, American owns 10. A super carrier is able to project the force of 7 jump carriers. There are 10 super carriers on the deep blue sea and America owns all of them. At current rates of military buildout China will equal America's naval fire power in roughly the year 2150. They are hilariously outgunned.

Most of their standing army counts are peasants with broomsticks as a weapon.

China is only considered a military threat because of nuclear weapons and willingness to send massive waves of people to die.
