NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES
Key Takeaways
.
Beijing continued its rapid nuclear expansion. DoD estimates the PRC has surpassed
600 operational nuclear warheads in its stockpile as of 2024
.
DoD estimates that the PRC will have over 1,000 operational nuclear warheads by 2030, much
of which will be deployed at higher readiness levels, and will continue growing its force to
2035 in line with its goal of ensuring PLA modernization is “basically complete” that year, an
important milestone on the road to Xi’s goal of a “world class” military by 2049.
最新一期全球火力指数（GFP）排行榜出炉。这榜虽然槽点满满，但仍然是世界著名的权威军事排行榜之一，从武器装备、部队人数、财政状况、地理位置、资源禀赋等超过60个维度，来整体评估一国的军事能力。
最新的排行榜上，美国仍然是当之无愧的第一，不管是战机和航母的数量，还是无人能及的庞大军费，都在全球断崖式领先。
第二名则是俄罗斯。GFP认为，俄罗斯虽然在俄乌冲突中损失了大量坦克，但海军和空军的损失不严重。再加上其是核大国，有苏-57战机、高超音速导弹等，所以被排到了第二位。
第三名就是中国，不过从评分看，中国的分数极为接近亚军俄罗斯。这是因为，GFP觉得中国在经济和人力资源方面有明显优势，而且同样是核大国，并且在快速发展。看来到了明年，没准中国就能反超俄罗斯了。
另外，印度依靠大量进口西方装备、拥有人口及战略纵深优势排到第4；英国超过了日本排名第5，可能是因为有核武器。第6到第10名则分别是韩国、巴基斯坦、日本、法国、意大利。
