The UK Government's trade promotion organization made the announcement that Britain was at the forefront of arms sales last year. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) said British arms exporters had added $20.1 billion in new business last year, giving them a larger share of global arms exports than the US. This is while the Minister for Trade and Investment Digby Jones said, "As demonstrated by this outstanding export performance, the UK has a first-class defense industry, with some of the world's most technologically sophisticated companies". UKTI said the British figures were boosted by orders for Eurofighter Typhoon jets from Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest arms buyer, which imported $32.8 billion in weapons over the last five years. However, the US still tops the world for the last five years with $66.7 billion in total arms exports. Britain still came in second with $56.1 billion and Russia third with $35 billion. SM/RE |
