    Is it correct to add there a word есть - 'У России есть большая армия.' ?

      Yes. To me У Росси большая армия sounds more neutrally

          Naturally, something like В России находится большая армия.

              Sounds like propaganda.

              Is that a threat?

              Couldn't that phrase mean "there's a large army in Russia", as well?

              there's a large army in Russia = в России есть большая армия
              Russia has a large army = у России есть большая армия (=Россия имеет большую армию)
