The Iraqi army ranked 34th among the world's armies, the Defense Ministry said Sunday.

"Based on a report published by the US website Global Firepower, which specializes in classifying the world's armies by force, the Iraqi army ranked 34th among the world's most powerful armies in 2022," the ministry said in a statement, adding that "The Iraqi army advanced by 23 places from 57th rank in the 2020 ranking.

"The Iraqi army has advanced on the armies of the Arab countries (UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain)," the statement said, adding that "this classification is based on 50 workers to determine this classification, which includes military, financial, logistical and other forces to determine improvement, regression or stability in these armies."
