Why are nations racing to buy weapons?
Global military spending is at an all-time high, increasing in all five geographical regions for the first time since 2009.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and China’s military build-up in the South China Sea are increasing instability in the world.
