Turkey has emerged as the country with the second-largest number of foreign military bases in the world after the United States, and is the only Muslim-majority nation with a global military base network of this scale.
According to available figures, the United States maintains 887 foreign military bases worldwide, far exceeding any other country. Turkey follows with 133 bases, placing it ahead of several traditional military powers.
The United Kingdom ranks third with 117 overseas bases, reflecting its longstanding global military presence. Russia maintains 29 foreign bases, while India has established 20. Israel operates 14 bases abroad.
Turkey’s position is notable both for its scale and for its geographic reach, marking a significant expansion of its military footprint beyond its immediate region.
