The gradual rise in the ranking of the Pakistan Army indicates an improvement in its professional and military power.
Last year, according to the Global Firepower Index 2021, Pakistan's army became the 10th most powerful army in the world.
Pakistan had improved 5 places in the same list since 2019. In 2020, Pakistan stood as the 15th most powerful country. The Global Firepower Index is an annual ranking that ranks a country according to its military strength.
According to the latest ranking, Pakistan Army is the 9th most powerful army in the world. It is ranked 9th out of 140 countries in the annual Global Firepower Index

India has less nuclear weapons than Pakistan, China: New analysis of capabilities
According to a recent analysis in the US-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Pakistan continues to develop its nuclear arsenal with more armaments, delivery systems and an expanding fissile material production business.
China, India and Pakistan are all working on new ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and nuclear delivery systems that can be launched from the sea.
To counter perceived Indian conventional military threats, Pakistan has lowered the barrier to the use of nuclear weapons by developing strategic nuclear weapons capabilities.
The Pakistani government has never officially stated the extent of its nuclear arsenal, and news reports concerning nuclear weapons are regularly embellished by media sources.
But according to The Arms Control Association, a neutral membership group based in the United States, Pakistan has a nuclear stockpile of about 165 warheads to date.
These figures should be worrying about India.
Because Pakistan is seeking a "full-spectrum deterrent posture", which includes long-range missiles and aircraft for strategic missions and several short-range, low-yield nuclear-capable ones to counter military threats below the strategic level. Weapon systems are included.
China has a limited number of non-strategic (also called tactical) nuclear weapons that are not subject to treaty sanctions.
However, according to a Pentagon report, the country is increasingly building up its own nuclear weapons, closing the gap with the United States.
Chines warheads
According to that report, China could have 700 deliverable nuclear warheads by 2027, and 1,000 by 2030 – a nuclear arsenal that is two and a half times the amount estimated by the Pentagon just a year ago.
On the other hand, India has 156 nuclear weapons.
About 13,080 nuclear weapons are held by the world's nuclear-armed powers, of which Russia and the United States account for about 90%. There are approximately 9,600 weapons in military service, of which the remainder are awaiting disarmament
Pakistan Missile technology
Pakistan's rapidly growing missile arsenal is an important part of its defense strategy to offset the significant conventional military advantages of its main rival, India. Pakistan's arsenal mainly consists of mobile short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, but it is also making significant progress in its cruise missile capability. Pakistan's combined strategic forces allow it to target almost any point in India, and is now working on more advanced technology such as multiple independent reentry vehicles to fuel Indian missile defense efforts. Pakistan has received significant technical assistance from China on its nuclear and missile programs, and evidence also indicates close cooperation with both North Korea and Iran on the development and proliferation of these systems.
