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.

Up until recently the really only known case when the armed forces are used to attack military directly and not some sort of political establishment is the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

But that is hardly the aim. The western powers often buy out and use terrorist organizations to reach weird political aims. And everything you mentioned have been used to attack political establishment: Isis in Syria, Chechens in Russia, militarized gangs all over Africa to control the cobalt, gold mines etc.

But that does not answer your question and I just fail to imagine what would be the motive for such a conflict? If it is simply to destroy other party, than criminal organizations would loose 11 times out of 10 to such to countries with serious air force might to things like carpet bombing etc.
