Top 10 OIC military power ranking

[MMM-E]

For example, Russia now also needs North Korea to provide them with large quantities of artillery shells, and the price Russia pays for this is to provide military technical assistance to North Korea ...... If North Korea refuses to supply Russia with artillery shells, how will Russia continue their war with Ukraine?

Russia has bigger artillery shells production capability than whole Europe
but Russia fighting against NATO military production capability

USA , Germany , France and many more Countries provides artillery shells to Ukraine .... even They bought artillery shells from Turkiye for Ukraine against Russia

If Turkey develops a nuclear arsenal, which they absolutely should, they would easily be on top. They should also develop their BM technology, right now its seems completely inadequate for a regional power.

 

[Michael]

They should put China at the same level with USA, no doubt

Brother, I completely understand your feelings. (Indonesia is now cooperating with South Korea on the KF-21 project. To be more precise, Indonesia needs South Korea more.) But you can't make a serious misjudgment because of this.

On the surface, South Korea's defense industry is indeed very good. They make a lot of popular weapons. They can make almost any weapon. (If there were no restrictions, they would be fully capable of making nuclear weapons.)

However, this is just a superficial appearance.
1. South Korea does not have national defense autonomy. They need US authorization for any matter in the field of national defense. Even the manufacture of rifle bullets requires US consent.
2. The core technologies of all weapon systems manufactured in South Korea are all in the hands of Americans. South Korea does not have these capabilities. Including the KF-21 you dream of, its core technology is all controlled by Americans.

Therefore, it is obviously nonsense to put South Korea on the same level as China and the United States. ------ No Pakistani would put PAC on the same level as CAC.
===================================
BTW. In the ranking of the military strength of the four East Asian countries, South Korea is the weakest country in terms of military strength. Even if the Russian army and the ROC army are added, South Korea still ranks last.
This may not be entirely consistent with your opinion...

Look what I found. Like I said never doubt the fauj.

Efficiency ranking of top 15 militaries (GFP 2025) based on combined manpower and weapons output per billion USD spent, scored 1-100:

1. Pakistan (100)
2. Indonesia (31)
3. India (20)
4. South Korea (16)
5. Russia (14)
6. Türkiye (11)
7. Brazil (11)
8. Israel (9)
9. China (8)
10. Italy (6)
11. Japan (6)
12. France (4)
13. Germany (4)
14. UK (3)
15. US (3)

With this kind of efficiency, if Pakistan triples its defense expenditure, where would it rank in terms of power?

Assuming maintained efficiency, tripling Pakistan's defense budget to $22.92B would enable ~1.96M active personnel and ~12,400 major weapons systems (aircraft, tanks, ships). This could propel it to 3rd in GFP rankings, behind the US and China, surpassing Russia and India—though real-world scaling involves logistical and economic limits.

With Saudi funding, this will be our objective.

I want to be honest... Usually when there is a surplus of funds... Our faujee brothers tend to get chillaxed..

Since it's Ai, I consulted ChatGPT.

Its calling bullshit.

The “efficiency ranking” you shared is not an official Global Firepower (GFP) measure; GFP does not publish manpower or weapons-per-dollar scores. Pakistan is currently ranked **#12** in GFP 2025 with a PowerIndex of **0.2513**, while the U.S., Russia, China, and India occupy the top four spots.

If Pakistan were to triple its defense budget (from about \$7.6B to \~\$23B), and if efficiency scaled perfectly, the country could theoretically field \~2 million personnel and over 12,000 major weapons systems. In practice, however, maintaining that efficiency is nearly impossible. Militaries face diminishing returns as they expand: logistics, training, industrial capacity, and maintenance costs rise faster than raw numbers. Quality also matters more than sheer quantity; advanced systems and infrastructure are expensive and cannot be scaled linearly.

Even under optimistic assumptions, such an expansion would not automatically propel Pakistan to **#3 globally**, as you suggested. It might allow Pakistan to rise into the **top 5–7**, surpassing some mid-tier powers, but still behind the U.S., China, Russia, and likely India, all of which possess larger economies, industrial bases, and technological advantages.

In short: tripling Pakistan’s budget could significantly boost its GFP ranking, but real-world constraints mean it would likely climb only into the mid–top tier rather than overtaking Russia or India.

1. Turkey (Good everywhere including weapons production)
2. Pakistan (Good everywhere including has good suppliers)
3. Egypt (Good everywhere has production capacity)
4. Indonesia (Good everywhere and has good navy production)
5. KSA (Good everywhere, plus improving weapons production and has good suppliers)
6. Algeria (Good everywhere, plus strong navy, needs better supplier, involved in arms race)
7. Morocco ( Good everywhere and has good suppliers)
8. UAE ( Good everywhere, improved weapons production capacity)
9. Malaysia (Good everywhere but needs to improve it´s air force bulk)
10. Jordan (Good everywhere but has little to low population 12m which decreases them on the list)

I will list top 16 as bonus

11. Bangladesh (Has large manpower base and getting better could see them in top 10 in the next 5 years depending on their procurement, needs airforce upgrade)
12. Uzbekistan (It only lacks to improve it´s airforce I heard they will purchase J10 soon, it has population potential, plus fiercer people)
13. Kazakhstan (It also needs to improve it´s air it has SU-30s but still it needs to improve upon that otherwise overall very good army)
14. Iran (They have lost alot of tech but weak air defense and air force has sink them to 14 place but they can´t go lower due to population potential)
15. Qatar/Azerbaijan (Very solid armament both Airforce and conventional) and as for Azeribaijan they will soon jump into top 10 as Turkey is constantly selling them best stuff

we find the two main birds sold in world during/since Cold War, first from NATO as the F16s and against it, the Mig29s, the SU side.
and i see Iran-Bangladesh-SU allies, holding Mig29s, as non-struggling countries among these Muslim countries.
the F16s and other western arms comes with sacrifice with foreign affairs, including unwanted interference of NATO

the holding of F16s/western arms shows 'weakness', not strength

You should have a gradual integration in the OIC as happened in Europe. A clause to defend one another if attacked.

As many nations are stronger than one.

The 12 strongest militaries in the 'Muslim World'

The 'Muslim World' stretches from the far reaches of Western Africa to Southeast Asia. Though not homogenous, they are brought together in some extra-regional groupings, including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation with its 57 member countries.

With wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen, the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, and violence in Palestinian Territories, the region’s militaries have had to adapt to conventional and asymmetric warfare quickly, and in some cases relearn the art of conventional war after decades of inactivity.

The biggest military spender on the list is Saudi Arabia. In 2017, Riyadh's defence budget was third in the world according to the World Bank.

Defence budgets only tell part of the story. The Global Firepower (GFP) index, which is used for rankings looks at a number of factors, including quality of weaponry, missile range, training, alliances, manpower, and the strength of local defence industries.

Here are the countries form the 12 strongest militaries in the 'Muslim World'.
