HEAD TO HEAD
Colombia vs Ukraine
Verdict
Ukraine holds a 61–39 advantage over Colombia on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (85% of the combined total, $84.1bn) and active personnel (73% of the combined total, 688.0k). Colombia leads on economic size (GDP) and logistics & power projection.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
