HEAD TO HEAD
Hungary vs Ukraine
Verdict
Ukraine holds a 80–20 advantage over Hungary on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (94% of the combined total, $84.1bn) and active personnel (96% of the combined total, 688.0k). Hungary leads on economic size (GDP).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
