Note: Data exclude most paramilitary, security, and irregular forces. Naval data exclude vessels of less than 100 tons standard displacement. Figures are for June
          1997. Because of substantive changes in national forces and reassessments of evidence, data may not be comparable with previous editions.
1Includes combat aircraft from all services, including naval and air defense. Light strike/counterinsurgency aircraft are included in bomber/fighter-ground attack 
  category. Reconnaissance includes maritime reconnaissance and antisubmarine warfare aircraft.
2Includes air defense troops.
3Main battle tanks (MBT), weighing at least 16.5 metric tons with gun of at least 75-mm calibre.
