Anyone have a rough estimate for how many troops and vehicles sneks have at their disposal?

I found this a few years ago. I think it's from a comic.

I would guess large enough to fight a World War.

I feel like they have at least 13,500 standard Vipers. You could say that it's pretty Epic. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

Anyway, no idea on numbers, but I imagine Cobra is made up of hundreds of covert cells and numerous mercenary armies supporting puppet governments, in addition to a regular "main force", so it could be a ridiculously staggering number of personnel and equipment.

COBRA would want to slither, hidden and elusive, and spread their forces all over the world, rather than build up in one easy cruise missile friendly target site… My guess would be from 25,000 to 50,000 members worldwide.
That may seem low to some people, but think of the logistics that would have to be involved, and the funding necessary to keep operations going. I look to real world intelligence to get an idea of what the fictional COBRA organization might become, if allowed to grow over the years. For example, Al-Qaeda’s worldwide operations numbered from 31,400 to 57,600. Terrorist/Criminal Armies all over the world build networks which number into the thousands: Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham has an estimated 12,000–15,000 Al-Nusra Front had an estimated 5,000–10,000 Boko Haram had an estimated 4,000-6,000 Ansar al-Sharia in Libya had an estimated 4,500–5,000 Abu Sayyaf had an estimated 200-400 (down from an earlier 1,250) The United Nations has a very long list of these, but their numbers are typically about the same as the half dozen examples listed above.
