The US Department of State in 2017 approved weapons sales for a record $ 79,5 billion.

According to information TASS, Defense News, citing information from the Department of Military Cooperation (USD) of the US Department of Defense, reports on the approval of the country's foreign policy department in the 2017 fiscal year of implementation weapons foreign buyers at a record $ 79,5 billion

These funds will not necessarily be obtained by the United States in full, as the transactions require further permission from Congress, which sometimes blocks supplies. Contracts that are ultimately recognized may be derailed or adjusted. But in general, the amount looks, no doubt, impressive.

These data indicate the interest of our partners in the quality of products and services that we offer. If we compare the levels of sales over the past three years, we can notice a tendency towards an increase in the volume of supplies.

Among the contracts agreed with the State Department are orders. Qatar to F-15 fighter jets for $ 21,1 billion, Kuwait to F / A-18 fighter-bombers for $ 10,1 billion, Canada on the same F / A-18 for $ 5,2 billion, Romania for the “Patriot PAK-3” air defense system for $ 3,9 billion, Saudi Arabia for CH-47 “Chinook” helicopters for $ 3,51 billion. Only the Middle East countries have 27 contracts for a total of $ 52 billion.

It is indicated that with the arrival of Donald Trump, the UVS agreed on deals worth 28,7 billion.

          Not only fear of the “Russian threat”, but also the “decency” of the Americans when holding tenders for the purchase of weapons and the “unobtrusive” recommendations from them bring the United States good dividends.

    The most serious competitors of Russia in the global arms market are France and China. Both countries offer the same product range to the market as Russia. Unlike Washington, Paris and Beijing are focused primarily on the commercial result, and do not set political conditions for signing contracts. China, in addition, has excellent price competitiveness and offers its products under very favorable financing conditions. [24]
    The military-industrial complex of Turkey and South Korea also look like serious opponents. [25]

    It is important to note!!! wink

    We know their trade, they will take the state for "economic gills" inevitably buy what they say. And the announced amount is just an assumption and not a specific number. So, let them not boast. negative

    Russia sold weapons:
    2016 - $ 15 billion
    2015 - $ 14,5 billion
    Also not bad, but far from the “partners”. Yes, and buyers strive to buy everything on credit.
