Jochen,

Is this broken down in any way? It would be interesting to see where the exports go. For example I don't think there is anything wrong with the US exporting to NATO countries (think F-16's to Poland), but see a difference if the US was exporting F-16's to Syria, or more to the point supplying guns to the DRC or Rwanda.

John

It looks like the US has cut back weapons exports by over 50% since 9/11 with Russia increasing their weapons exports by 50%.
