According to Wikipedia (at least as good an OSINT surce as Pravda any day), NATO tanks strengths, for members other than the USA, are:
Nation Front line Reserve Total Belgium 0 Canada 256 256 Denmark 57 57 France 407 407 Iceland 0 Italy 197 197 Luxembourg 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 52 52 Portugal 133 86 219 UK 227 227 Greece 1244 1244 Turkey 3159 619 3778 Germany 400 1600 2000 Spain 273 54 327 Czech Republic 123 123 Hungary 30 125 155 Poland 1063 1063 Bulgaria 0 Estonia 0 Latvia 3 3 Lithuania 0 Romania 576 750 1326 Slovakia 30 30 Slovenia 28 56 84 Albania 0 Croatia 104 104 TOTAL 8362 3290 11652
That’s a good deal better tank force ratio than we had during the Cold War, and for tanks not in storage probably outnumbers the Russians handsomely. I should think it’s a better ratio than the Germans had at the start of Barbarossa, anyway.
Of course, with all the new members NATO has, Sparker can have T-55s on both sides now.
All the best,
John.
