Of course I have seen Chico's articles Raellus, but I have based my figures on data declared to the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty which has been compiled in IISS Military Balance. I don't know were Chico gets his figures from but some don't match mine. For example Chico states that the Soviets built 6,000 T-90's by 1996, but in reality Russia has built 3,200 since 1993. Chico of course could be referring to projective production figures of a Soviet Union that never collapses which is churning out tanks due to a new arms race with the west, and we might see this number of T-90's been built. But I just based my figures on statistics on what was available in 1991.

Some IFV's could even be included. Way to hard and unrealistic to compile under tanks.
