.- India has become the largest importer of weapons, essentially buying from Russia, according to data released Monday by the Institute for Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) for the period 2006-10. SIPRI also shows that Libya has been in recent years, "an excellent illustration of competition between major suppliers such as France, Italy, Russia and the United States", even though, according to the institute, its conventional arms orders have been limited.
India, "the world's largest importer of weapons," says the SIPRI, acquired "9% of the international volume of arms transfers" and Russia supplied 82% of weapons imported by India. Siemon Wezeman, an analyst at SIPRI, Indian imports have mainly to do "with its rivalry with Pakistan and China and internal security issues.
India requires technology transfer to develop its own arms industry." SIPRI also notes that the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Algeria and Israel came to imports "particularly important" in 2006-10. Created in 1966, SIPRI is an independent international institute headquartered in Stockholm, 50% financed by the Swedish State and specializes in conflict, arms control, arms control and disarmament.
