International Defence Budgets Data

[peckham]

Hello -

Does anyone know of a good resource for detailed defence budget data for the large European & Asian defence spenders (UK, Germany, France, Japan, S Korea, India, etc)?

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Overall figure? CIA World Factbook.

Details on distribution within the military? Bit harder to get, and usually only by scouring through actual local sources. Also often classified (the official German military detailed spending plan e.g. is classified, but leaked every year).

thanks - i've been finding that out the hard way & was hoping not to have to go that route. actually looks like you can get some of the data through buyusainfo.net for high level. program level data is the challenge.
