Post -Cold War World Trading World Trade Record

According to RCO News Agency, the CAWAT Center performs all calculations based on the US dollar, according to the dollar exchange rate at the time of concluding each contract and at the same year prices.

According to estimates by the World Weapons Trade Analysis Center observed by the Ryanosti News Agency, the volume of global export and import of conventional weapons (according to the UN registration class) reached $ 1.5 billion in year 2, the highest since the end of the Cold War.

For comparison, the volume of global exports of military equipment and equipment was $ 1.5 billion in year 2, equivalent to $ 1.5 billion in year 2, and $ 1.5 billion per year.

According to experts at the analytical center, the significant increase in global weapons exports and imports is related to several factors, including the situation around Ukraine.

“Western countries were getting rid of their old weapons systems by providing military assistance to Kiev, and then made extensive purchases of more modern and expensive weapons,” the report said. “The United States took the most profit and practically monopolized NATO’s weapons market.”

The report also points out that in year 2, the global volume of conventional weapons exports and imports (according to the UN classification) increased by 2 % compared to year 2, which is a major leap in one year.

This increase is mainly due to the long period of tension surrounding the Ukrainian issue and the anti -Russian wave in the two years leading up to the start of military operations, as well as short -term contracts that have been signed after the operation.

In year 2, the volume of global weapons exports and imports increased by 4.9 percent compared to year 2 (although it decreased by 4.9 percent compared to year 2).

According to the World Arms Trade Analysis Center report, the “return” was fully technical, as weapons delivery was mainly based on short-term contracts, while long-term contracts based on Ukraine developments were still in place.
