Figures are trend-indicator values expressed in $m. at constant (1990) prices.

Note: SIPRI data on arms transfers refer to actual deliveries of major conventional weapons. To permit comparison between the data on such deliveries of different
weapons and identification of general trends, SIPRI uses a trend-indicator value. The SIPRI values are therefore only an indicator of the volume of international arms
transfers and not of the actual financial values of such transfers. Thus they are not comparable to economic statistics such as gross domestic product or export/imports
figures.
A more extensive description of the methodology used, including a list of sources, is available on the SIPRI Arms Transfers Project Internet site at
URL<http://web.sipri.org/contents/armstrad/atmethods.html>.
The figures may differ from those given in previous SIPRI Yearbooks. The SIPRI arms transfers database is constantly updated as new data becomes available,
and the trend-indicator values are revised each year.
