Right, im trying to have an accurate and completely feasable miltary but there a few things that i need to find out before i can really call it that.

To find list:

I have worked out all the crew and pilots for my military but for a rough estimate what would i need to times that number by to get the number which would include pretty much all logistics and administration

Average running costs of:

Helicopters
MBT's (if its type specific challenger 2)
Anything else you think might be helpfull to me or others for instance nuclear weapons

Ammo!

Doujin has told me that on average it costs 400million to arm a destroyer but what on average would it cost per ship to rearm them but if not just but a figure for some classes of ships

Costs of completly re-arming
A MBT
An Attack helicopter
A helo with maybe a couple of machine guns
Aircraft
A soldier (D-11 assault rifle)
Artillery of different calibres

plus how frequently would you have to fully re-arm them

What i know already:

Average running cost of an aircraft in a military is between 1-2 million


I'll add more later but feel free to post if you want something answered

People i have obtained my info from:
Doujin
Clan Smoke Jaguar (well not yet but ill put up some stuff by him when i have more time)

ammo you dont usually need to worry about, its such a cheap product, you can make it yourself.

Ammo includes $2,000,000 missiles plus something cheap individulay becomes an large expense if you have several million soldiers

missles are expensive, ammo is not. ammo (military grade) is about 5cents a round

OOC: Except for the fact that your economy is "Thriving", and mine is "Frightening". BTW My budget is around 27 Trillion according to the GDP calc. Sorry.
