Here are the world's largest weapons exporters

  The above visualization sums up the global weapons trade during the Obama era, minus data from 2016. It was created by data scientist Hai Nguyen Mau, and each relationship plots the value of the weapons trade between two countries based on data from SIPRI.
  
  It’s important to note that while this data includes major weaponry transfers such as tanks, jets, missiles, and ships, it excludes guns and ammunition or military aid. Lastly, the thickness of each line represents the total value of each trade relationship, while the proximity of two linked countries shows how close each relationship is. (i.e. if a country only imports from Russia, they will be much closer to Russia than the U.S.)
  
  A LONGTAIL DISTRIBUTION
  The global weapons trade is dominated by a few major exporters, such as United States, EU, and Russia:
• 
  
  
• Together, the United States, European Union, and Russia combine for over 80% of weapons exports, while the rest of the world fills out the “longtail” of the exporter distribution.
  
  From the perspective of imports, the field is much more equal because almost every country aims to spend at least some money on defense. India is the largest importer of weapons in the world with a 14% share of the market.
  
  TWO DISTINCT BLOCS
  The picture behind the global weapons trade gets much more interesting as it is broken up into relationships. It’s easy to see that there are two distinct blocs of trade:
  
  The West: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, most of the EU, and other countries
  The East: Russia, China, India, Nigeria, and other countries
  
  As an example, Singapore imports 71% of its weapons from the United States along with significant amounts from Germany (10%) and Sweden (6%). As such, it is very close to the United States in these visualizations.
  
  Meanwhile, India imports 70% of its arms from Russia, with the U.S. (12%) and Israel (7%) as other major partners.
  
  Here’s another look from Hai Nguyen Mau that just focuses on U.S. and Russian relationships:
• 
  
  
• An oversimplication, to be sure – but these visualizations hint at the broader tensions that have recently surfaced to the forefront of geopolitical discourse.

Yo c'mon man we export arms too

 

[neem456]

lol look at that dark and thick line from russia to india.
No other 2 countries in the word can make the line that dark and thick.

 

[vostok]

Very interesting stuff, thanks!

Really something to be proud of.

Yo c'mon man we export arms too

I think yes. These are special ones made with carbon molecules.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I think yes. These are special ones made with carbon molecules.

I'm sure you know the composition.. Heard you bought a warhead resembling a Pakistani make genital/reproductive organ..

Are you sure that is something to be proud of? The thickness of each line represents the total value of each trade relationship. We know it is not Russia importing from India, but rather India importing from Russia. In other words, that's money leaving the country/economy of India.

 

[oFFbEAT]

Really, some Indians don't even understand what's worthy of bragging and what's not.....they just need something to brag about....

Figures are SIPRI Trend Indicator Values (TIVs) expressed in US$ m. at constant (1990) prices.

NOTE: Current Prices measures something using the current price level. Therefore, when making comparisons it shows nominal changes in the price of something. Constant prices tries to remove the effect of inflation. It is a figure adjusted for changes in inflation. Therefore, using constant prices to measure changes in output enables real changes in the price of something to be measured.The Janes article above uses current prices. Because of inflation you would need less 1990-money in 1990 to buy with 2015-money (comparable to the inverse of interest on savings)

Exports:

Spain e.g. 2 LHDs (Canberra class) at A$3 billion per ship and 3 AWD (Hobart class) at A$8 billion for 3 ships (original contract cost), 5 frigates to Norway, Ascod Pizarro MICVs eg, OPVs to Venezuela

Netherlands e.g. Sigma corvettes and frigates, all Thales Netherlands radar, sonar and command systems (e.g. for Denmarks' Huitfeldt class and Gerrman Sachen class, also many naval systems abroad including Turkey, South Korea, Algeria etc). Used F-16s, used navy ships, used armor (AIFVs, MBTs).

Ukraine, think e.g. naval gasturbines to China, cruisemissile technology, tank technology to China and e.g. Pakistan etc. MBTs to Thailand

most of what we export is clasified and between 2010-2015 we export 5-7.5 bilion

http://www.janes.com/article/62750/spanish-defence-exports-up-16-in-2015

http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.726097
do you think we export to only 8 countries ? lol you are funny

http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-...o-countries-breaching-human-rights-1001133582

In the preamble to the bill, its promoters note that up to the end of 2013 the Ministry of Defense had awarded some 400,000 export licenses and defense product marketing licenses relating to 130 countries and other entities. "Unfortunately, there are not 130 democratic countries in the world," the bill states, "From the UN Register of Conventional Arms it emerges that over the years exports of Israeli arms have taken place to countries in which severe infringements of human rights were being perpetrated at the time."

 

[proka89]

The only thing reliable on SIPRI about arms export, are national reports:

https://www.sipri.org/databases/national-reports

And even those depend on the country which provides them to SIPRI. Which basically means that you have to trust those countries that they did put all the data in those reports.

You did notice that SIPRI numbers are expressed in ( "standardized to") 1990 constant dollars? As opposed to Janes numbers, which are current dollars? Do you understand the difference? It explains why the Janes number is larger.

Also, as indicated, I took from SIPRI only those states receiving from Israel 'arms' for a value of $100million or more. Obviously, that's not all Israeli clients. To make it perfectly clear: I left out the small(er) fry. So, in answer to your silly question: no, I do not believe Israel exports to only 8 countries.

This is a complete listing of 44 countries delivered to in the 2010-2015 period by Israel according to SIPRI: Angola, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Germany (FRG), Honduras, India, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Lithuania, Mexico, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Unknown country, Vietnam.

You would have instantly known this had to just followed 1 link from the previous post (but that apparently was too much trouble) http://armstrade.sipri.org/armstrade/page/values.php

And yes, as you can tell, the Netherlands, Spain and Ukrainde did end up higher in their ranking, for good reason (as there are big ticket items in their 2011-2015 basket)

The only thing reliable on SIPRI about arms export, are national reports:

https://www.sipri.org/databases/national-reports

And even those depend on the country which provides them to SIPRI. Which basically means that you have to trust those countries that they did put all the data in those reports.

And where/how do you think Janes gets its information? How is its information more reliable than Sipri's?

Anyway, its is besides the point as directly comparing the Janes and the Sipri amounts is comparing apples (Current prices) and oranges (constant prices).
