Sales Double In Five Years Amid Global Demand
Israel’s Defense Ministry has announced that the country’s weapons exports reached a record high of over $19 billion in 2025, a 30% increase from 2024. The ministry attributed the growth to the demand for Israeli-made defense systems, which are seen as battle-tested and effective. The news was reported by AP News, which noted that despite criticism of Israel’s conduct in its wars, countries are still placing orders for its weapons.
