By the spring of 1920 the Konarmia consisted of 4 divisions of horse, a brigade of infantry, 52 field guns and countless tachankas (tachanka: a heavy machine-gun mounted on the back of a horse-drawn open buggy, with one man driving the horses and two manning the gun). It also had 5 armoured trains and 8 armoured cars (and also a squadron of 15 planes, most of which were captured however by a Polish raid).
