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.
Global military spending reached a new record high in 2025, according to the Stockholm-based SIPRI. Inflation-adjusted, it rose 2.9 percent to nearly 2.89 trillion US dollars. The increase stems mainly from ramp-ups in Europe.
