Whilst a valid archive, the page contains no pertinent content, the content body is empty as it appears. I skimmed through the different snapshots, and none of them actually contain anything. Eenp (talk) 04:23, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources needed for numbers of artillery and tanks

[edit]

In the past month, anonymous editors have made seven different edits changing the number of self-propelled artillery, rocket artillery, towed artillery, or tanks in service:

Not one edit added a source to the article that might have supported the changes. Without reliable sources, these numbers might as well be random guesses. I have identified three potential sources that could be used to double-check the figures:

1. The Military Balance, the annual publication by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. One issue is already linked in the article, although the link is paywalled. I don't know if there are any open-access copies of recent issues available online. Perhaps they are in the Wikipedia Library?

2. U.S. Army budget documents, organized by fiscal year, available online at the Army Financial Management & Comptroller website. To my knowledge, information about artillery and tank numbers can be found in documents on Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Vehicles.

3. The United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA) compiles data on the international arms trade and information on member states' military holdings. Reports on the Register are issued by the Office of the Secretary-General and can be read via the UN Digital Library. In the report from 2023 that I have provided as an example, U.S. data on military holdings is available, but only for broad categories of weaponry, not for individual systems. Useful primarily as a backup for comparing totals. Huntthetroll (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
