Scope

Expanded public-source history of legal foundations, forces, declared equipment transfers, industry and defence partnerships. Personnel estimates combine active military and qualifying paramilitary forces and stop in 2020. National budget laws checked for 2017–2026 do not identify a comparable standalone defence total. A 2018 regional fund is one-off financing, not the annual defence budget. SIPRI’s historical observations and US-funded or partner-funded sales cases remain separate measures. Official claims, intended purchases, contracts, displays and deliveries are distinguished. This is not a complete force inventory.

Method & coverage

This is a curated public-source reference, not a complete inventory. Each record identifies an event or publication date, implementation stage and evidence type; the detail explains which date is known. An official report establishes what the issuer said; a contract does not establish delivery, and delivery does not establish readiness. Unknown quantities remain unknown. Records count publications or developments, not weapons, personnel or military strength.

Official report
The issuing institution reports the event or figure; this is not independent corroboration.
Independently corroborated
Distinct independent evidence supports the specific recorded claim.
Estimate
A sourced estimate, with its method and limits retained.
Unresolved
The available evidence does not establish the specific point.
