"Around the world, rising military powers are rapidly modernizing their vehicle fleets. They are investing in new armored vehicles, tanks, and support systems that further improve their operational readiness and combat effectiveness. Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Troops, for example, recently integrated Khatam 270 and 450 vehicles into their fleet. These military vehicles will assist with more tactical communication between ground troops and in combat scenarios."
"To identify the emerging global powers with the most military vehicles, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2025 Military Strength Ranking from Global Firepower, an annually updated defense-related statistics website with information on 145 countries. Countries were ranked on the total number of vehicles in their arsenal. We included supplemental information regarding the total tanks, artillery and MLRS units, as well as each country's overall military strength score."
Rising military powers are rapidly modernizing and expanding armored vehicle fleets, adding new armored vehicles, tanks, and support systems to improve operational readiness and combat effectiveness. Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps integrated Khatam 270 and 450 vehicles and unveiled domestically-produced Karrar-2 main battle tanks and upgraded APCs in April 2025, emphasizing homegrown technology amid sanctions. China unveiled a Type 96B tank variant and a next-generation infantry fighting vehicle during drills in Inner Mongolia and has been testing sixth-generation fighter aircraft.
