What is compared?

Personnel, aircraft mix, helicopters, major naval classes, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, defense budgets, spending share and estimated nuclear arsenals. Missing values remain marked as unavailable rather than being invented.

How to read it

Inventory totals do not measure readiness, training, logistics, geography, alliances or operational doctrine. Read the methodology and limitations before drawing conclusions.
