Iran has claimed that it has avenged the killing of Hezbollah chief Nasrallah and the war will continue. Let us know who is powerful in both the countries? Whose army is stronger and who has more weapons?

Whereas the population of Israel is stated to be 90,43,387. A report claims that Iran's armed forces are the largest in West Asia. There are at least five lakh 80 thousand soldiers in this army. In addition, there are approximately two lakh trainees as reserve military personnel.
Israel has more power to cause destruction from the air
Iran seems to be aggressive on the issue of military personnel while Israel is aggressive on the issue of weapons. Israel's position in the airspace is particularly strong. According to a private report, Israel has a total of 612 fighter jets, while Iran has 551 fighter jets. Israel's Air Force includes the most advanced fighter aircraft like F-15 SF-16 and F-355. Iran's fighter planes are not that modern.
huge fleet of missiles
Iran has a large fleet of missiles. A report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies said Iran has the largest stockpile of ballistic missiles and drones in West Asia. It also includes cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles. It also includes ballistic missiles capable of hitting a distance of two thousand kilometers.
Iran is ahead in terms of number of tanks
If we talk about power for ground war, Iran is ahead in this matter also. It is said that Israel has 1,370 tanks while Iran has 1,996 tanks. However, among these, Israel has modern tanks like the Merkava. At the same time, if we talk about navy, both these countries are not in a very strong position in this matter. Neither Israel nor Iran are very strong navally. However, Iran has smaller boats and is said to be capable of launching large-scale attacks. According to Global Firepower, Iran has 67 such boats and 19 submarines in its fleet. At the same time, Israel has 101 such boats and five submarines.
Israel is a leader in nuclear energy
If we are talking about war then nuclear capability should also be assessed. Israel is being given the lead on this issue. A report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute states that Israel has about 80 nuclear weapons. The number of gravity bombs alone is 30. Gravity bombs can also be dropped by aircraft. At the same time, medium-range ballistic missiles will be required to attack Israel's other 50 nuclear weapons. 50 nuclear bombs can be released from these missiles.
Despite the small number of soldiers, every Israel is ahead in the use of weapons
As far as Israel's military forces are concerned, there are a total of 1,69,500 soldiers in its army, navy and paramilitary forces. However, Israel keeps its citizens prepared for every situation. There every citizen has to compulsorily serve in the army. Therefore, it has 4,65,000 soldiers in reserve forces and 8,000 soldiers in reserve in paramilitary forces. Every common man in Israel can take up arms if necessary.
strengthen military infrastructure
Iran's military structure positions it as a major power. A private report said that because of this military structure, Iran's rivals America and Israel do not dare to attack it directly. Indeed, Iran supplies weapons to a large network of proxy militias in West Asia. Provides them with training and funding. These proxy militias include Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, militia groups in Syria and Iraq, as well as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Because of this, they are not generally considered part of Iran's armed forces. However, they remain ready for war on behalf of Iran. He is also very loyal towards Iran. If needed, all of them together can help Iran.
Seeing this threat, Israel first attacked the Gaza Strip and ignored anyone's advice for 11 months. Then on the basis of intelligence, a plan was prepared to eliminate Hezbollah. After eliminating its leader, it had just started tightening its grip on Yemen's Houthi rebels when Iran retaliated.
