Central and South American militaries may have to reconsider their procurement habits in view of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The latest data from SIPRI shows a 55% reduction in arms imports by South American states between 2012–16 and 2017–21. Arms imports by states in South America in 2017–21 were at their lowest level for any five-year period in the past 50 years, according to the SIPRI figures.
