00:00Not the first, everyone knows the first, the United States sits at 887 overseas installations, the second though, take a
00:09moment with it, Britain surely with its garrison scattered from Gibraltar to Brunei, or Russia with its long habit of
00:17parking soldiers in other people's countries, maybe France still holding pieces of its African footprint.
00:23According to figures compiled in 2026, it is Turkey, 133 foreign military bases, Britain sits third with 117, Russia manages
00:3529, India has 20.
00:37Now sit with that for a second because I had to, a country that most viewers probably file under regional
00:45power, big army, makes good drones, has quietly assembled a global military footprint larger than the British one, larger than
00:53the Russian and Indian ones combined, several times over, and it is the only Muslim majority country that has ever
01:00built anything on this scale.
