Akshually it's the the 2nd (France), 5th (Germany), 6th (Italy), and 9th (Spain) spots. But that's a bad argument, say.. a way of lying with statistics, considering the 1st place has 43% of the market share AND that exporting arms is not very relevant when the topic du jour is military build-up. The muscovites for example export 7.8% of the market share but that's not that relevant considering they're using the lion's share of military industrial output to terrorize Ukrainians.

It is relevant because having an industrial base and know how makes it much easier to scale up. Hopefully that’s what will now happen.

Also, let’s see how the 43% holds up when European and gulf states do their next round of procurement.
