11. Spain
Points – 3
The Spanish Army has over 123,000 active frontline personnel and an extra 16,000 people in reserve. The country is part of a series of countries that plans to purchase the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper surveillance aircraft, as well as two ground control stations.
The Spanish Army also has two unmanned combat aerial vehicles that are currently under development. While it might be some time before they become available to the soldiers or take their first flights, these UCAVs will certainly come in handy at one point in history.
Spain’s defense budget rises up to over $11.6 billion, which is quite a big number, even though it may not come close to what other nations invest in their militaries.
