South Sudan has roughly one quarter the population Sudan, clocking in at around 10.2 million people. The South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) has an impressive 210,000 active personnel with an additional 76,000 on reserve. The same cannot be said for its budget: with an annual amount coming to around $78 million, the costs come to a fraction of other countries.

Regardless of this, there are many countries who supply the SSPDF with the equipment they need. This includes Israel, USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Japan, and more.
