    Probably complicates things. If we’re taking into account the cheapness of Chinese tanks, maybe we need to evaluate the strength of American tanks and equipment vs Chinese equipment.

    Spending seems like a better way to get an idea.

      Not really, wages make up a large portion of military expenditure and I don’t think there are major differences between the individual “strength” of a soldier/engineer/whatever.

      As we’ve seen in Ukraine and other conflicts where US equipment has been used, it’s certainly nothing to write home about.
