1. Arms deliveries to developing
countries last year were the
highest since 2004, totalling $28
billion, or around 60% of global
sales. America and Russia, the
world’s leading arms suppliers,
accounted for around two-thirds
of deliveries to the developing
world. America’s exports in
particular are helped by a long-
standing client base, which orders
upgrades, spare parts and support
services every year. Arms deals
were buoyed last year by unusually
high demand from Saudi Arabia.
The Middle Eastern country is the
developing world’s biggest arms
buyer; deliveries were $2.8 billion
in 2011. India, which is Russia’s
biggest high-value arms client,
was close behind, with $2.7 billion-
worth of deliveries last year.
