U.S. weapons sales to other countries experienced a major uptick in 2022, jumping to more than US$51.9 billion largely due to Russia’s war on Ukraine.
In the aftermath of the Feb. 24 invasion, European nations rushed to arm themselves, giving U.S. weapons sales a 49 percent boost from the US$34.8 billion in sales in 2021
......
Direct commercial sales also grew, with American defense contractors selling some US$153.7 billion in weapons and military equipment directly to foreign governments in 2022, up from US$103.4 billion the previous year.
