    Even when the Cold War ended in the late 20th century, a fragile peace remained over the planet . Some new military powers emerged to challenge the balance of the established powers. The race in armament production and the building up of military strength continued, and in the second decade of the 21st century, the world's armies have grown to a level never seen before in history.

    i don't think numbers alone can be easily compared, a lot depends on the potential reserves, mobilization state, and the actual number of active personnel that can be deployed to any particualar area.
    The Russian war in ukraine is a perfect example of this, on paper russia's military is far larger, but on the ground ukraine actually has more manpower reserves because it has mobilized its entire defense force.
    same with many nations throughout history, during times of peace nations tend to keep small active armies, but in times of national emergency reserves ca be called up, conscription introduced, and general mobilization initiated.
    As such it is not possible to compare sizes of armies across different nations in different circumstances.

      Quote from an ex-general who was an advisor from 2000-2005:
      “Less tanks than Switzerland and a smaller Navy than the Netherlands.”
      Though with the recent budget increase to 60 billion and the potential onetime 109 billion payment (that has to be decided first by parliament), that may soon change. If everything goes to plan then the money will be split like this (according to the Federal broadcasting service ARD):
      - 10 billion for the Deutsche Marine
      - 40 billion for the Luftwaffe
      - 27 billion for modern air combat technology
      - 17 billion for the Heer
      The rest will probably go into other things like spare parts, modernisation, etc.
      Though as a German, I do hope that the modernisation of the Bundeswehr goes without problems and that it can be the strong and feared army it once was in the Cold War.

Seeing the Indian forces in your channel made me realize that you have not really done many Indian historical stuff. So why not make a video about the Battle of Saragarhi? 21 Indian or British Raj Sikhs (20 actually because one of them didn't fight until at the last moments) making a last stand against 10000-12000 Afghans?

      It didn't sink, there are pictures of it being towed back to port. Also, that's not something "huge", it's one missile cruiser. The An-225 was because it was the largest plane in the world, and it being destroyed was a big deal.

      NLAWs are meant to kill tanks, any tanks, tanks arent meant to kill NLAWs, the disposal of NLAWS are for the infantry support of armoured units. No tank fleet will get around this, the ABRAMS, Leopards, Challengers, the Leclerc, they are all weak against a well hidden NLAW. Also NLAWS are quite new in the battlefield, so it is expected that Russia might be initially un prepared to face them, but the are taking their time and they will very likely adapt their strategy to counter NLAWs, they are even getting some themselves.
