Alright, so in light of this war, I took a glance at my recorded military numbers and noticed one glaring mistake: they're way off. Why? Because they fit a nation with a significantly smaller population than Luna's, and one that wasn't all that heavily militarized, at that. Now, I thought about that one and realized another major issue: I didn't have a set population. Anyway, from there I decided to think of a good population for Luna and to fix my military numbers accordingly. Now, to be entirely honest, I know almost nothing about military things, so there'll almost inevitably be some mistakes -- please let me know what needs fixing so I can update and fix it.

 

Population: 33 million

 

ARMY:

Active duty: 3.7 million

Reserve: 365,000

Tanks: 68,000

Light utility vehicles: 100,000

Amphibious vehicles: 15000 

 

AIR FORCE:

Active duty: 1.2 million

Reserve: 106,000

Fighters: 2400

Bombers: 1550

Transports: 2000

Helicopters: 9100

 

NAVY:

Active duty: 1.9 million

Reserve: 112,000

Aircraft carriers: 27

Amphibious warfare ships: 161

Destroyers: 148

Frigates: 151

Battleships: 87

Transports: 164

Attack submarines: 52

Ballistic missile submarines: 36

 

OTHER:

Short-range missiles: 41

Medium-range missiles: 32

Intermediate-range missiles: 25

ICBMs: 9

Nuclear weapons: 22

 

Other information:

  • A good bit of the Lunar military is nuclear powered; particularly, several of the newer aircraft, ships and submarines are.

 

Out of RP: Luna is rather heavily militarized now because of the number of times we've been invaded -- we'd rather not get caught off guard again, so that's why we have such a large military. That being said, though, as I said at the beginning, I don't really know anything about military information -- this bulletin took a ton of research into IRL nations' numbers, other RP nations' listed numbers, and in fact, literally all the different types of military vehicles and stuff, and asking people who do know something about it. So, please, if there's something that seems off (too high or low), please let me know and I'll fix it, just don't yell at me for being unrealistic, since I actually have no idea and am certainly not trying to be overpowered. Thanks :)

 

Updates: 

  • Lowered population.
  • Lowered population.
  • Lowered population again.
  • Adjusted population for new territorial claims.
  • Adjusted enlistment numbers for conscription policy.
