Israeli defense exports reached all-time high in 2012
The defense export control division (SIBAT) in the Ministry of Defense revealed that defense equipment export has increased in the past year and reached an all-time high and amounted to $7.4 billion, in comparison to $5.8 billion in 2011.
Most arms and equipment are exported to Asian markets and Pacific countries. SIBAT director Brig. Gen. (Res.) Shmaya Avieli said that new transactions with Turkey are being evaluated. "The export to Turkey never stopped and remains reasonable," Avieli said. (Yoav Zitun)
