  The 11 Most Powerful Militaries In TheWorld

  最强军事11国

  Asymmetrical wars in Afghanistan, Vietnam,and now in Syria demonstrate all too clearly that relatively small numbers ofbelligerents can carry out successful military operations against superiorforces.

  阿富汗,越南以及叙利亚非对称战争表明即使是一小撮的叛乱分子也能成功的对强势部队发起攻击。

  But still, firepower is extremelyimportant. A country's projection of power relies in large part upon itsmilitary capabilities. Successfully being able to project and wield that poweris a key diplomatic asset.

  但是,火力依然是最重要的。一个国家力量的投射很大程度上要依赖于其军事实力。如果能成功投放和使用这种力量,那将给一个国家带来关键的外交优势。

  在军费上,以色列比邻国要高出许多。2009年,以色列国家预算中的18.7%用于国防。以色列的国防预算为150亿美元。

  A large percentage of the Israeli defensebudget goes toward defense technology. One of the best examples of this isIsrael's Iron Dome, a missile defense shield that can intercept rockets shotinto Israel from the Palestinian territories. Israel aims to replace Iron Domewith a laser defense shield called Iron Beam.

  以色列国防预算的很大一部分花在了国防技术上。其中最好的例子之一就是以色列的铁穹防御系统,这种导弹防御系统可以拦截从巴勒斯坦境内向以色列发射的火箭弹。以色列计划用一种叫做“铁束”的激光防御系统来代替“铁穹”。
