Explainer: How Venezuelas military compares to US firepower

Explainer: How Venezuela's military compares to US firepower

Venezuela's military strength has come into the spotlight after the United States allegedly launched a massive offensive against the country on Saturday, January 3, 2025.

Videos of air strikes circulating online show alleged American helicopters bombing military complexes in the Venezuelan capital Caracas.

Here a detailed look at Venezuela’s military capabilities and where it stands as compared to the global superpower’s military capabilities.

According to the Global Fire Power index, the South American country’s military is ranked 50th out of 145 considered in the GFP’s 2025 annual review. The United States (U.S.) is ranked number 1, the strongest military in the world.

The GFP assessment considers over 60 factors, including manpower, equipment quantities, logistics, finances, and geography, but does not heavily weigh equipment quality, readiness, or training.
