According to a report by the Stockholm-based SIPRI peace research institute, Germany has overtaken China to become the fourth largest exporter of major weapons. Nearly a quarter of German deliveries went to Ukraine, while Europe as a whole has tripled its imports. The rise is driven primarily by the war in Ukraine and uncertainties about US support in NATO.
