10 Countries That Are Impossible To Invade

2019-03-21 4 Dailymotion

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.
