Actually they are the:\n\nAH-64 Apache Longbow (UH stands for utility helicopter, AH stands for Attack helicopter)\nM1A2 Abrams Tank (Upgrade of original, more features)\n\nGranted the Chinese have a bigger gun, but the Abrams can shoot farther, and has a lot more upgrades and features the Chinese don't have. Plus they don't have that many of them. Oh and the prototyped the one guy is talking about was called the Comanche, and it got scrapped by the Pentegon, if he ever read the news.

It could be another superpower, there doesn't need to be only one as England/France proved in the days of empire. China definately has the capacity to become a superpower, it has the most people of any nation, is quickly industrialising and has the largest air force of any nation already. My guess is that it will achieve true superpower status at around 2040.

The Russians have a new breed of tank with anti aircraft missles that can be launched out the main barrel (mostly for destroying helicopters).\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/\n\n\nThe U.S. military doesn't really do tank battles (although a couple happened in the first gulf war).  Aircraft and artillery can make short work of tanks.  The U.S. feels that tanks are great if they are there, but they are extremely slow to ship around the world.  It takes like 3 to 6 months to move a shipment of tanks from the U.S. to Iraq.  That's why the U.S. has put more emphases on vehicals that can be shipped by air.\n\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/gvp/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/shadow/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/stryker/

Militarily, it is, without a doubt, the USA. Capability, force projection, unparallelled. Intelligent, motivated, skilled and well-trained volunteer servicemembers. Top notch weapons technology.\n\nAnd yes, I'm from USA. But that doesn't change the answer.

This is an easy one:  Kuwait.\n\nKuwait has, without exception, shown itself as a trustworthy and loyal friend to the U.S.\n\nSaudi Arabia was playing both sides of the fence, but recently they have reversed this policy.  They appear to be firmly on our side, but Kuwait has, by far, the longer track record.\n\nEgypt is not a real friend.  Their government may help us on occasion, but mainly they just like the billions in aid we give them every year.  The average Egyptian hates the U.S.\n\nIronically, Libya may turn out to be a strong ally soon.  They have renounced their WMD programs, and may intervene on our behalf with Iran and North Korea.

That would be the the United States, the Russians equipment is junk and out-dated. Alot of it sat in port to long and rusted away, and they have salvaged most of it out. Our Navy could wipe out a whole country with-out ever setting foot on their land. We have submarines with missiles, and aircraft carriers. You don't have any idea of the firepower, one aircraft carrier would be all that would be needed. I served in the U.S. Navy for 15 years and am currently retired. spc 8, machinist, sp ops, I have 3 purple hearts, and a silver Navy cross from 1982. What is happening with our military right now, is unnecessary with the ground troops, it is ridiculous, and they are expendable to our government. It's all politics on both sides. Good luck to you.

China, in fact there was a recent study that shows china will be using more then the resources that are being made right now.  it will happen sometime in the next couple decades.

M-16s?  No.  Not powerful enough.\n\nDillon 20 mm mini-guns installed on HUMVEES and Apache helicopters.  And land mines.  Let's not forget land mines.

What do you mean by strongest?  Economically strongest, militarily strongest?\n\nWell, in the military case, I would say the US.  We have nuclear weapons, we have satellites for eavesdropping and intelligence gathering, more submarines than any other country, probably the largest navy, geographic isolation due to the Atlantic and Pacific and fairly stable neighbors to the north and south, etc.

The question was not the "largest"... the asker's question was "strongest".\n\nBy this I can only assume they mean "most devastating in its capability" or "most effective when engaged" and that they do not mean "the military that can lift the most weight".\n\nAnswer: The United States of America has the 'strongest' military. Here's why:\n- Firepower: The U.S. possseses and controls the largest amount of destructive explosives on the planet. Bullets, dynamite, gunpowder, C-4, fuel bombs, napalm and nuclear, just to name a few types.\n- Weapons delivery: The U.S. has the most accurate, well maintained, highe-tech, widely deployed and well-run firepower delivery system on Earth. Gun barrel accuracy, naval, air, land delivery systems - all highly maintained to very stringent standards.\n- Intelligence: Despite all the joke we could make about this word and the military, the fact remains that no country has the technical and human intelligence and intelligence processing capabilities as the U.S. The NSA alone has a budget bigger than India's gross national product in 2004. Satellites, command and control, phone, internet, private internets, video communications, data encrpyion, data de-cryption, diversified Human spy assets, global corporate data, data mining, etc., etc., etc.\n- Money: no military in the world is as well funded, consistently well funded, as the U.S. Military is.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote it the best answer. Thanks!

The US is although it can still have problems as we are seeing in Iraq.\n\nApproximately 1.4 million personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 860,000 personnel in the seven reserve components (456,000 of which are in the Army and Air National Guard). \n\nThe United States Military is considered the most powerful military in the world because their power projection capabilities are maintained significantly higher than any singular nation (e.g. France, United Kingdom, People's Republic of China, Russia, India) or organization (e.g. the European Union). The United States Department of Defense is the controlling organization for the U.S. military and is headquartered at The Pentagon. The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military is the President of the United States. With a strength of 2.26 million personnel (including reserves), the United States armed forces are the 2nd largest in the world behind China. The CIA  World Factbooknotes that the US spends 4.06 per cent of GDP as compared to China with 4.3 so as China's GDP grows, its relative military strength will as well.

If they do have nuclear weapons the answer is North Korea. They seem the most willing to use them.
