Top 10 Countries Impossible to Invade and Conquer

10- Iran --- There is a reason why Iran is nicknamed as ‘Fortress Iran’. Iran’s topography is mostly mountainous. Iran has a manpower of over half a million soldiers; 1658 tanks and 137 aircraft which can make a pitched conquest against it hard enough. Moreover, Iran has a network of underground missile bases which the government claims to have every 500 meters within every city and province.

9- Bhutan

Bhutan is a secluded country tucked away in the Himalayas with an army of 6,000 men, no artillery and no airforce! The reason why Bhutan made it to this list is because of its history of never being invaded. Nowadays the invasion is impossible because of the terrain; 300 meters above sea level enough to cause altitude sickness and the tanks stand no chance either. In addition to that, a nice friend India has decided to take this little state under its protection.

8- Australia

Australia is a floating desert in the middle of nowhere and the nearest military that could take them on is like 11,000 kilometers away. Yes, its Japan. To invade Australia, they would have to conquer the Outback; Which makes up 70% of the Australian landmass not to mention the desert spreading along thousands of kilometers enough to provide the Australian army vantage points to conduct guerilla raids.

7- Russia

If Napoleon or Hitler were alive, it would be fun asking them how an invasion of Russia typically works out! Their historical armies were so powerful so they rolled into Russia, but after some time they just rolled back out. Russia is the largest country in the world. And the key to its safety lies in its geography and of course, its bitter climate.

During world war II, the Russian army deliberately backed out leaving the Nazis stranded and freezing to death. Modern day Russia has the fifth biggest active military personnel at their disposal with a whooping 845,000 men. At times of need, Russia can also call upon their 3,500 military aircraft and its fleet of 350 warships. They also have some 7000 nuclear missiles; So even if someone survives their regular winter, it is unlikely to survive the nuclear winter.

6- North Korea

One thing Kim Jong Un can brag about is his substantial army! North Korea has over a million of active soldiers; 4200 tanks and 222 attack helicopters; Which gives them a military larger than any other NATO country except USA. They are also believed to have nuclear weapons with a range to reach South Korea, Japan and probably the west coast of US.

5- Israel

Israel has been in 8 wars in its 69 year history and has not lost One. Though it has a small army of 176,0000 troops. It is mandatory for their populace to train and serve in the army, women for 24 months and men for 36 months. This means that another one and a half million of its population is trained for warfare and the state could call them at the hours of need.

Israel has also developed one of the best missile defense in the world called; The Iron Dome. It’s a crazy defense system where they shoot the enemy’s missiles out of the sky, with their own missiles. This defense mechanism has successfully brought down 90% of the enemy missiles before they reached their targets.

4- Canada

Canada has a highly trained professional army of 95,000 soldiers and taking them would be a accomplishment. Just like Russia, Canada does not even need to launch its army. They just have to wait for the harsh and icy climate to do their job. On top of this, most of the Canadian population lives near the land border of the strongest military in the world and their ally; USA.

3- Switzerland

Most people wonder that if Switzerland even has an army, that is probably because they are hardly ever in action. The country has been going reliably neutral since 1815. Even if an invasion interrupts them from their busy routine of making clocks, the Swiss army has the capacity to compete with their 150,000 military personnel and 156 aircraft. This sounds like a small number but it shall outmaneuver the enemy up the mountains and down the slopes!

2- Japan

Even the Mongols who had a reputation to conquer lands could not overrun Japan! It took America to drop a couple of nukes to defeat Japan but it was not ever invaded. Japan has up to quarter million of soldiers and over 600 tanks at their disposal. Japan’s air force is the fifth largest and most technologically advanced with 1,590 aircraft in addition to the Godzilla.

1- USA

The US invests whooping 596 billion dollars into its military every year which is more than the next seven nations combined. What tops it all is that America has enough nukes to kill everyone on earth several times over and over again.
