@cpgatbyu and hwes I looked at the list on Global Firepower for top 10 most powerful militaries in Europe and it didn't include Turkey and Russia- those were in Asia.
I know it is from GFP and all... But France is not more powerful than the UK. Italy is not number 10 in all countries. Greece is not more powerful than Ukraine, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium. Spain is not more powerful than Ukraine.
My list for top military powers in Europe is (not including Russia or Turkey)
Netherlands is #11 currently, though I would think Switzerland would fall out of the rankings along with Czech Republic. Netherlands and Romania are certainly more powerful then those 2 nations.
My list for top military powers in Europe is (not including Russia or Turkey)
1. UK
2. France
3. Germany
4. Poland
5. Ukraine
6. Italy
7. Sweden
8. Spain
9. Switzerland
10. Netherlands
Just my opinion, as I believe GFP is bs.
