Romania is followed in the European ranking by Greece (698 units), Finland (667 units), Ukraine (615 units), Bosnia and Herzegovina (457 units), and Hungary (295 units).

Romanian land forces also have 10,774 military vehicles, 328 tanks, and 243 multiple rocket launch systems (MLRS). Besides the land forces, Romania has 140 military aircraft, including 21 fighter jets and 65 helicopters.
Romania obtained a score of 0.8984 in the global ranking of the largest military powers, placing the country 51st out of a total of 145 states, according to 24/7 Wall St based on data from Global Firepower.
The closer the index value is to 0, the stronger a nation's theoretical conventional combat capability.
