Americans dominate: The selling weapons in the world is increasing the seventh year in a row

The rate of increase in weapons sales in 2020-2021 was greater than the 2019-2020 year by 1. 1%, the report said. The full -scale military invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, according to experts, has added difficulties in the supply chains that have been observed since last year through the coronavirus pandemic. "We could get an even more weapon sales in 2021 if it were not for constant supply problems.

Large and small weapons reported sales falling," said SIPri Beri Sudro, director of the SIPRI SIPRI SIPRI SIPRI. Some players, such as Airbus (passenger, freight and military-transport aircraft) and General Dynamics (the world's largest manufacturer of military and aerospace equipment) spoke about labor shortages. Experts believe that Russia is the main supplier of raw materials used in weapons production.

Therefore, its invasion of Ukraine may prevent the efforts of the United States and Europe to strengthen the armed forces and replenish their armed stocks after their departure to Ukraine. "If the supply chain continues, some large weapons may take several years to meet the demand created by the war in Ukraine," said Senior Sipri Diego Lopez Da Silva. Despite the increase in the production of Russian military concerns in the report, they have difficulty access to semiconductors.

"Most European Aerospace Companies have announced losses for 2021 due to a supply chain," said SIPRI SIPRI SPORRI SCHARATATO SIPRI military expenditures and weapons.

However, Dassault Aviation Group has shown profit in the military-cosmic sector-the sale of the company increased by 59%, to $ 6. 3 billion in 2021 in 2021 thanks to the departure of 25 Rafale combat aircraft. The total sales of weapons 21 companies from Asia and Oceania in 2021 amounted to $ 136 billion - falling by 5. 8 % compared to 2020. Eight Chinese weapons sold weapons for $ 109 billion, 6. 3% more.

The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that not all Western supplies could be spoken openly. According to him, Russia has no chance of winning the war with Ukraine.
