Interesting site but I'm not sure that these stats are at all reliable. For instance it says the UK has 52,000 RAF personnel but no planes to fly.......

I am particular concerned by the expansion of Equitorial Guinea's military strength. It currently fields an army of 1,000 men.

the amount of paramilitary troops in Iran is nuts
N-Korea has 4.7 mil reserve troops 8O and 25% of its population are troops...
Vietnam has the second largest total troop-size, no wonder nobody could ever defeat em
