wow. CHina has no frigates? That is the biggest BS I have ever heard but yeah I think RUssia would win but one thing I need to ask, I thought the total GDP of russia is like 188 billion USD, they spend 60 billion on the military?

Sorry typo on the frigates, China actually has 42 frigates but no Cruisers, I accidently put down the number for frigates under cruisers, my bad. As for the 60 billion dollar defense budget, I know thats true. I just checked Russias GDP, it's USD 1.4 trillion, for referance purposes the US's GDP is 10.4 trillion, while China's is 5.7 USD. Per capita China has 4,400 USD. The US is $37,600 per capita, while Russia's is 9,300.

Facts:

China's GDP in 2003 was $6.449 trillion and GDP per capita was $5,000...

It grew another 9.5% this year...

Russia's GDP in 2003 was $1.282 trillion and GDP per capita was $8,900...

It will grow another 7% this year...

The US had a GDP of $10.99 trillion in 2003 and a GDP per capita of $37,800

It will grow another 4% this year
