Between 2014 and 2018, U.S. arms exports rose 17%. Russia, on the other hand, experienced a drop of 53% during the same period. This caused Russia to fall from the world's second-largest arms exporter to third. France overtook Russia's place in second with an increase in arms sales of 47%.
The largest arms exporters supply their weapons based on global alliances. For example, Iran supplies nearly 75% of its arms exports to Russia and another 7.4% to the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
