Ukraine holds a 63–37 advantage over Egypt on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (97% of the combined total, $84.1bn) and active personnel (61% of the combined total, 688.0k). Egypt 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1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
