Which of the following countries do you think has the most Main Battle Tanks?
 

I just bought a copy of "The Military Balance", which is published by the International Institute of Strategic Studies. This book contains the entire known inventory of every military in the world, including troops, equipment, planes, etc. It's probably the best reference book in the history of the world.

Poll coming.

As a bonus question, rank the above countries from 1st through 13th in terms of the number of Main Battle Tanks they own. I'll pass along hints about the number that each guesser gets right.

Modern MBTs or are you including rebuilt Shermans and T-34s?

It appears that they go back to the T-54/M-47 era, but not older.

Tunisia
Iran
Bulgaria
Uraguay
Uganda
Kenya
Croatia
Togo
Bangladesh
Canada
Netherlands
New Zealand (doesn't have any)

lol T-54s

To the uninitiated, sheer quantity may shock into fearful submission; as the case of Gulf War I. People lamented and wailed the vast armies and tank forces available to Sodamn Insane. heh, those people soon learned that quality > quantity.

I'll take a small/medium force of M1s, Challengers, LeClercs, or Leopards over a vast army of T-72s & T-80s ANY day! :D

You have placed 1 country in the proper ranking (and you're missing Norway, by the way). We're off to a nice start.

Pffft.

OK..which one?

Iran
Kenya
Tunisia

OK...new list.

Kenya
Iran
Uganda
Uruguay
Croatia
Tunisia
Bulgaria
Togo
Bangladesh
Norway
Canada
Netherlands
New Zealand

Iran
Bulgaria
Uganda

This time, you placed 1 unit correctly. Since we have now had two correct guesses, I will reveal that New Zealand is indeed ranked 13th. The nation has no Main Battle Tanks, which I found kind of surprising.

New rules: you have to rank all 13, and I will tell you how many are correct. Once a nation has been correctly guessed twice, I'll reveal the nation and its rank.

I'll take a stab...

Bulgaria
Croatia
Iran
Uganda
Canada
Kenya
Tunisia
Uruguay
Netherlands
Norway
Togo
Bangladesh
New Zealand

Iran
Bulgaria
Uganda
Croatia
Tunisia
Canada
Netherlands
Kenya
Uruguay
Togo
Bangladesh
Norway
New Zealand

I am pleased to say that you got 1 correct - New Zealand.
