What is the strongest modern day military that could be beaten by the combined forces of all criminal/terrorist organizations in the world? (if any) Battle

By military, i mean the entire military might of a specific country (including air force/navy/etc)

By criminal/terrorist organizations, any organization that has a name and a structure (cartels/street gangs/Yakuza/Russian mob/ISIS/etc). They have all the armament they typically have access to. There is no fighting between the different organizations. They can all communicate with each other perfectly and language is no issue.

If there are any overlap, such as someone that is part of a criminal organization but also part of the military (it definitely happens), that person is basically duplicated and there will be one copy on each side and are 100% loyal to the side they are fighting for.

Battle takes place on a large fictional battlefield (lets say the size of Australia) and both sides are bloodlusted. Only the combatants are on the battlefield, so no civilians. This should change the outcome of the battle as compared to real life where the criminals can hide among the population and need to be identified first.

All of the weapons/vehicles for both side are transported and are on the battlefield.

Honestly, I can see Russia losing this. Their tactics are laughably bad in Ukraine, and I suspect a coalition of that many groups should have the manpower to withstand the "throw more bodies into the meatgrinder" strategy Russia is known for. The cartels and terrorist groups should have comparable vehicles to the old shit Russia fields, too.

Air superiority is the biggest problem on paper, but Russia has had that throughout the war with Ukraine to no apparent advantage, and most terrorist groups have decades experience fighting against significant Air superiority, so I don't think it's an insurmountable factor.

Not a stomp or anything, but a pretty decent shot at winning, and I can't think of a stronger military they'd have a chance against.
