Biggest Defense Spending in History | Countries Spending a Trillion Dollars for Defense This Year

In a world constantly shifting between diplomacy and deterrence, the language of power often speaks in dollars — or more precisely, in billions. The year 2025 has unveiled the latest rankings of the world’s biggest military budgets, and once again, the numbers are staggering.

But where exactly does all this war money go? To find answers, we’ll travel from the bottom of the top 10 list all the way to the very top — revealing not just what’s being spent, but what it all means.
10. Ukraine – $53.7 Billion
Once a non-player in defense spending, Ukraine now sits at number ten with a massive $53.7 billion military budget. This isn't just a matter of national pride — it’s about survival. Since the outbreak of the full-scale war with Russia in 2022, Ukraine has transformed into one of the most militarized nations on Earth.

This budget is powered by a combination of domestic funding, war bonds, and billions in international aid, primarily from the United States and European nations. The funds go into ammunition stockpiles, cutting-edge drone warfare, defensive air systems, training of conscripts and volunteers, and battlefield tech. Ukraine’s defense landscape now operates more like a NATO member state than a former Soviet republic.

This budget is not a symbol of dominance, but of desperation and resilience.

9. France – $55 Billion
At number nine, France stands tall with $55 billion allocated to defense. While it’s just a few hundred million above Ukraine, the context couldn’t be more different.

France maintains nuclear capabilities, an aircraft carrier, and a large professional army. As a founding member of NATO and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, France invests in maintaining its status as a global military power.

A significant portion of this budget goes into advanced fighter jets like the Rafale, modernization of nuclear deterrence, and cyber defense. Paris is also doubling down on space and artificial intelligence as the next frontiers of warfare, signaling that its military strategy is not only about present conflicts but also future dominance.
