Two lovely links about real militaries which presume to have budgets. You can't run around and say you have trillions of tanks, they cost a hell of a lot of money to maintain, and not just build. While the production cost of an M1A1 may be $1.3 million, the maintenance costs are probably about ten times that over five years.
Next we'll move on to your 4,000 interceptors.

I edited that.

And the divisions thing's been changed too.

[MSpencer]

Much, much better. You can actually probably afford another fighter squadron. Excellent reorganization.

[Pyth]

Ok, one more squadron. Thank you!

Re: Yuktobanian Military
To operate 1,000 tanks effectively (Which is a very high number as is), you would require at least five or so tank divisions, each containing 18-20,000 men.
Also, the number of tanks you have is terribly disproportionate to the number of other vehicles. You might want to reallocate some tanks to other vehicles, like... replacing some T-80s with BMD-2s. Tanks will do you no good if the infantry can't hold ground behind them, or if they get positively diced up by accurate artillery fire.
And I'd recommend a biiiig recruiting drive... like... conscription. You're at war, you don't have to pull the punches anymore.

Well, I was going to call it by it's nicer name, the draft, but yeah, I already planned on doing something along those lines. I'll probably throw some of those T-80's into storage, as well, and move the crews to other specialties.
