I can not believe this data 17th January 2005	Where are all the tanks in both South and North Korea? They must be in top 5.
Suchita Vemuri Staff Editor 21st March 2005	Hi Aqeel, the source (with the date) appears at the end of the stats. But US trade statistics show that the country's balance of trade in military armored vehicles, tanks and tank components with Iraq increased from US$148,000 in the year ended December 2003, to US$2,652,000 in the year ended December 2004. The number of military tanks in Iraq must have increased accordingly!

BPG 1st June 2005	South Africa has 224 Olifant Mk1B/Mk1A and USA dosent have 21 000 tanks it has 7 900 tanks and if this graph is counting tanks and armoured vehicles USA has 29 000 and Russia has 48 000 armoured vehicles and tanks and that means that South Africa has around 4934 so this graph is completely wrong.(and I m only 14)
Jeremy 4th June 2005	Are these stats just for Main Battle Tanks? Or are light reconnaisance vehicles classed as tanks for these statistics? For example the Scorpion and the Scimitar CVR(T)'s were often classed as tanks but are in fact just tracked vehicles.
