"Invincible": Russia and 4 other countries that cannot be conquered

Throughout the history of mankind, many wars have occurred in the world, hundreds of rulers have changed, new cities and countries have disappeared and appeared… But something still remains the same — the invincibility of some states!

What countries have not been captured even by the strongest troops in the world, read in our article.

Russia

At the top of our list, of course, is Mother Russia. In the centuries-old history of its existence, only the lazy one did not try to win it. Recall at least the unsuccessful attempts of Hitler and Napoleon. And although one of them still managed to take Moscow, the conquest of the entire state turned out to be an impossible task.

The closest to this, probably, were the Mongol-Tatars. But that brief period of vassalage is hardly a full-fledged conquest. All because even then the territory was ruled by Russian princes, lived according to the usual traditions, preserving its culture and religion.

Experts believe that even over time, the situation has not changed radically. In modern Russia, even women and children are ready to fight with weapons in their hands. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the huge nuclear potential of the country and the presence of one of the most powerful armies in the world.

China

Experts explain the impossibility of capturing China by the fact that almost 1.5 billion people live on the territory of the state. Now the Middle Kingdom is one of the most advanced countries in the world, with a developed economy, a large army and a huge territory, including hard-to-reach regions.

Military expert Robert Farley believes that China's only vulnerability in the event of a takeover may be a shortage of fresh water. However, it is possible that the super-intelligent Chinese in the shortest possible time will come up with a way to extract it or invent some artificial analogue, because the achievements of this country in scientific terms can only be envied.

USA

One of the main advantages of the United States over other countries, experts call the residents of the country themselves. Americans are so filled with the spirit of patriotism, determination and willingness to defend their rights and freedom that they are ready to engage in battle with the enemy at any time, especially since most of them have their own weapons in store for this case.

In addition, it is worth noting the mobilization and organizational capabilities of the American government and the very power of the US Army. What only are its naval forces, which include various combat and patrol ships, a submarine fleet, aircraft carriers and combat aircraft. By the way, at the moment it is the US Navy that is the leader in the number of aircraft carriers — in total, there are 11 such ships in their ranks.

Therefore, experts believe that the enemy, who suddenly decides to seize the United States, will not even be able to land on the mainland. And if it can, it will immediately be torn apart by the rest of the troops that make up the US Armed Forces. To date, it is the American army that is considered the most combat-ready and the strongest in the world, and this is already worth a lot.

India

Many call the Indian army " ridiculous." For you to have this association, just look at the absurd uniforms of Indian soldiers and their parades, which are more like theatrical productions. However, despite everything, this army is considered one of the most powerful and numerous in the world. Currently, it is represented by land forces, air forces, and naval forces. In total, it has more than 1.3 million soldiers in its ranks.

In addition, India has nuclear weapons. According to experts, the state currently has 90-110 nuclear weapons in combat-ready condition and components for the manufacture of another 50-90 such devices. An additional advantage is the geographical location of the country: on three sides it is protected by the ocean, and on the north — by mountains.

Afghanistan

Don't be surprised that this war-torn country is also included in our rating. Remember the story: for all the time of the existence of Afghanistan, no one has managed to conquer it. Formally, the state is under the control of the "powerful", but continues to live by its own rules and laws.

The main advantage of Afghanistan is its complex geographical terrain. In addition, the conquest of the country is also complicated by the fact that the locals-representatives of different nations and faiths-themselves are always at war with each other, so it is unlikely that anyone will be able to subdue them.
