India was the world’s second largest importer of arms and military hardware from 2021 to 2025 and the largest chunk of the imports came from Russia, Swedish think tank SIPRI said in a new report on Monday.
Ukraine which received 9.7 per cent of all arms transfers in 2021-25 was the world’s largest arms importer in that period, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said.
China dropped out of the top 10 arms importers for the first time since 1991-1995 due to expanded domestic production of its own designs, the think tank noted in its report, ‘Trends in International Arms Transfers’.
The United States supplied 42 per cent of all international arms transfers during 2021-25, up from 36 per cent in 2016-20, it said.
Four states in Asia and Oceania — India, Pakistan, Japan and Australia — ranked among the 10 largest arms importers globally in 2021-25.
