Strategy Page has a comprehensive article about global Defense spending, full of facts and figures.

1. America continues its dominance in the global arms market, despite impressive gains by Russia and China.
2. Global defense spending as a whole is growing.
3. If you are an American arms salesman, whose territory includes the Middle East, you are a happy person.
4. There are people out there in the world who actually want F-35s, and are willing to pay for them.
