The map below shows amount of tanks per 100 thousand people.
Number of Main Battle Tanks (MBT) per 100k = ( no. of MBTs / population ) * 100 000 Countries in gray have no data on GFP.com. Countries colored in blue have zero tanks as of 2017. Some of the Balkan countries have a large number of T-55 tanks (and equivalent), which are mostly obsolete in modern tank vs. tank combat, but still, have tactical value.
Other interesting contenders from around the world: USA: 1.8 China: 0.47 India: 0.33 Pakistan: 1.49 North Korea: 19.78 Syria: 24.54 Israel: 31.48 Jordan: 16.77 Saudi Arabia: 3.49
By the end of the Cold War the Netherlands had 900+ MBT’s. Now: zero.
Will lease 18 German Leopard tanks, part a joint armor unit.
