Global Firepower ranks the world’s major militaries based on certain criteria by calculating statistics and official numbers. The website ranks countries’ military power based on the following factors;

• Diversity of weapons along with the total number of weapons.
• Geographical factors.
• Logistical flexibility.
• Natural resources and local industry influence.
• Nuclear powers receive a slight edge in the rankings.
• Higher population of the country means higher rank.
• Land-locked (having no sea) countries are not ranked for their Navy. Countries having a naval force but no diversity of weapons receive a low score in the rankings.
• Countries having alliances for example NATO receive an edge in the rankings as well due to the sharing of resources.
• Ranking is independent of the country’s political or military leadership.
