This achievement marks a record-breaking year in weapon sales compared to previous years.
The channel further reported on its website that Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, received a report from the ministry indicating that the country’s defense weapon exports had reached a record high of over $12.5 billion in the past year, 2022.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense report highlighted that a quarter of Israel’s defense exports in the past year were concentrated in unmanned aerial vehicles and drones.

In conclusion, Israel’s significant defense weapon exports in 2022 reflect its robust defense industry and its ability to meet the demands of countries worldwide.
