Germany Now Worldwide Number Four in Weapons Exports

According to the latest report on international arms transfers by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Germany has overtaken China last year to become the world’s fourth biggest weapons dealer. German arms exports in 2021 - 2025 are up 15% from the 2016 - 2020 period and the country is poised to overtake Russia to claim the third place behind the US and France. 24% of German weapons exports go to Ukraine, 14% to Egypt and 10% to Israel.

This is extremely disappointing, especially when considering our country’s history.
