In the site ww2.dk there is a section on cold war Warsaw Pact forces
reading the non soviet forces i noted the relative low equipment numbers compared to the common western source data (this report 193/220 tanks, more that 450 APC/IFV and 108 artillery pieces (or more if with SP artillery)
the equipment data are available for December '85, only for tanks, APC/IFV and artillery, there is also the data on the manpower i put the link Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact Forces
so some know what were the actual TOE of the rifle division of the non soviet Warsaw Pact Rifle Division around in the mid '80s?

i put here some data on the higher category divisions for each country. division acronym get from the own language
