>With 42 companies listed in 2017, companies based in the United States continued to dominate the Top 100 in 2017. Taken together, the arms sales of US companies grew by 2.0 per cent in 2017, to $226.6 billion, which accounted for 57 per cent of total Top 100 arms sales.
>The combined arms sales of Russian companies accounted for 9.5 per cent of the Top 100 total, making Russia the second largest arms producer in the Top 100 in 2017—a position that had been occupied by the United Kingdom since 2002.
Brandon Garcia
Yeah, America is still the number 1 arms peddler, no doubt.
Nathaniel Bennett
Ha! Just weight until China flexes its economic super muscles. China will dominate the military sales immediately.
Isaiah Flores
No one buys Chinese junk. China has been trying to sell their crap for a decade already, only Africans bought their crap.
Bentley Parker
Just another example of how Russia and China are rapidly catching up to (and surpassing) the United States.
Ethan Russell
Lol, Pakistan buys Chinese, as will Philippines. Did you know Russia bought Chinese engines for its new ships? It was slower than expected but since it is Chinese you can sure it is durable. It won't be long until China will sell military technology to use just like selling Huawei phones.
Adam Rodriguez
Ruskies better don't get their hopes up though. Their nation is a sinking ship and the only reason they made it to the 2nd spot was because of the S-400 sales to Turkey, China and India. These types of sales happen only once in a lifetime, since China will just copy it and sell it at a much cheaper price anyway.
Luis James
>Did you know Russia bought Chinese engines for its new ships?
Because of the counter-sanctions towards Germany, but that ship was always intended to use only German engines. Germans are our greatest friends and allies, and we can't wait to buy more of their engines, once they escape the tentacles of the American imperialists, Russia will buy much more than just engines from Germany, we will buy entire German ships.

The amerishart butthurt itt is unbearable
Luke Morgan
why? russia is still 2nd to the US. Maybe everyone who doesn't think T-72 deathtraps with reactive armor is the best thing ever aren't angry americans but simply sick of vatnik propaganda?
Jayden Martinez
Because russian equipment is simply better than american shit
Logan Sanchez
How did you judge this from syria? where obsolete russian shit destroyed other obsolete russian shit?
Gabriel Morgan
T90 withstanding 4 recaptures and countless tow and milan hits while abrams pop from one
Pantsirs disabling 90% of launched tomakeks
Syrian government winning the war
Etc etc
Aaron Hughes
Most of this is propaganda tho.
And Assad only won because he had a foreign power bail him out.
Caleb Howard
T-90s were recaptured so much because syrians (either assad affiliated or anti-assad) are cowards who constantly flee at the first sign of trouble and tanks in syria were generally death traps.
Joseph Edwards
Its reality not propaganda
When american shit is built by rich people russian equipment is crafted by smart people
Hunter Gray
russian weaponry is crafted for third world countries. It's why it's popular, because there's a lot of third world countries.
Owen Richardson
And he was losing because foreign powers tried to depose him. What's your point?
Nathaniel Harris
his own people revolted because he was a shit ruler that inherited his post from daddy. Foreign intervention for all sides came after.
Cameron Sanchez
>Russians
>smart people

Cameron Turner
>tanks in syria were generally death traps
Not when the Russians came, they started using them correctly and nobody cared about old AlQaeda videos of TOW hits.
They even used the old 55s in urban areas because of the shorter barrel than the 72.
Justin Anderson
Wrong. Too many people are loyal to him or he would have ended like Gaddafi without a war.
JewSA failed to dispose of a middle eastern dictator that was free from IMF debt and jewshield banks. Now youre never going back there and will create space for more Russians in the middle east and even the Chinese.
He literally defeated the USA and you cant comprehend that and are in denial

No one is taking you seriously. The only people who get mad about Jews are Muslims and they never have anything relevant to say. Stop being Muslim.

It's a well known fact that Wikipedia is unbiased and a 100% factual and truthful archive of information. user, how did you do it? How did you bust open the Jew plan with a quick Wiki search?
Daniel Morris
no she wasn't
that is a retarded Ukranian meme from 2014 when Jow Forums got invaded by Ukranian retards
Tyler Sullivan
>ITT retards don't understand how arms export numbers work
I'm pretty sure Russia has already been #1 arms exporter for a couple years like 10 years ago or so. If you actually look at the numbers per year it's a rollercoaster that doesn't really mean anything. You sign a contract one year: boom, you're up the chart. Your industry is busy with it and you don't sign much: boom, you're down the chart.
Jayden Bennett
Here you go. I can't find the table I saw before with very specific numbers, but you get the idea.

Announces Russia takes second place over UK. This data shows that UK was never in second place. Hmmmmmm.
Nicholas Brooks
From SIPRI
Explanation of the TIV tables
SIPRI statistical data on arms transfers relates to actual deliveries of major conventional weapons. To permit comparison between the data on such deliveries of different weapons and to identify general trends, SIPRI has developed a unique system to measure the volume of international transfers of major conventional weapons using a common unit, the trend-indicator value (TIV).
The TIV is based on the known unit production costs of a core set of weapons and is intended to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the FINANCIAL value of the transfer. So that explains why your charts look retarded.
Matthew Wood
Clearly not, give the UK has sat at second since 2002.
Brandon White
Why does the US government allow weapon sales to other countries anyways? We don't make that much money in Grand scheme of things. Why give them top notch equipment, let them have cheap Chinese junk. That way we'd be able to roll over them if it came to it.
Carter Moore
Assuming this is a serious question:
Because it allows us to build relationships with other countries and enables our allies to defend themselves better, while also making them reliant on us for military hardware.
Ian Jackson
Lel, sure.
Ayden Harris
wasnt that the time when a russian AA system was beat by a jewish hobby lobby plane?
Jason Gray
Uganda did it first.
Jacob Miller
No, it's when jews bombed a turned-off syrian AA system.
