Why this exists
War budgets are counted in billions, a number too big to feel. A school lunch is something everyone understands. This page turns one into the other, using public figures from defence ministries, budget offices and independent researchers.
Every figure links to its source below. The numbers are estimates, and where they are partial or out of date, the page says so.
