India Pakistan Military Comparison: Talking about the military power of India and Pakistan, there is no comparison between the two countries. In March this year, Global Fire Power shared a report about the military powers of 145 countries of the world. According to this report, both India and Pakistan are among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of military power. While India's ranking is fourth, Pakistan's ranking is 9th. India is rapidly progressing as a major military power in the world, and is now also becoming self-reliant in the field of defense.
