Is France the strongest military power in Europe now, excluding Russia?

The West believes that the sign of strong military strength should be the air force and navy. France’s military industry is the strongest in Europe, which corresponds to its stronger navy and air force. The British military industry is greatly squeezed out by the control of the United States, and the special relationship between Britain and the United States , so many of Britain's relatively strong armaments are imported from the United States. The advantage of this is that it is easy to integrate into the US military system. Once the information and war power of the US military are borrowed, the strength of the British army will be greatly increased. So compared with France, France has an advantage, but if the two countries go to war, it's hard to say. Maybe Britain can still beat France, it depends on the attitude of the United States. Germany's coastline is limited, so its naval power is small. However, due to tradition, Germany attaches great importance to diesel-electric submarines and has good submarine technology. Due to the end of the Cold War, Germany is already in the rear, and the pressure has been reduced. It does not have high requirements for air power and has not invested much. But the German Army has traditionally been the number one in Europe. Although it currently has a small force, the well-equipped German Army still ranks among the best among European countries.
