Defence Industry : The Bloody Business

Defence industry is a driving force for some economies.

Weapon business is also known as the defense industry is one of the most profitable businesses in the world which encircles mainly the Middle East. I should have typed that it's based on the Middle East.

The Middle East is a very complicated geopolitical region where if a state of war starts between two countries other neighboring countries start developing their arsenals. Leaving the situation of two fighting countries.

But days are changed. New strategies are coming up to counter new threats. In this era, new strategies are like it's safe and brilliant to start a civil war. Civil war is more effective in a country like Syria or Iraq where more than one strong ethnicity is existing.
The war goes at a rampant level as the ruling government doesn't want to go down and the rebel group gets help from foreign culprits. At this phenomenon country like the USA & Russia enters into a war and start bloody business weapons trading. Fear encircles other neighbors thinking about what will happen next.

A sudden reshuffle of the neighboring country's government can be dangerous. Because the new government may not like you or your conduct towards them or there may have some ideal clash or may have a history that's your party's dark past.

Without this, there's a list containing enormous reasons that dragoon a country to develop its arsenal. And here comes the real fact. Without the USA, Russia, France, UK, China & Israel other countries are far behind in the defense industry. So most of the countries import weapons from them. Again the USA and Russia are far advanced in export. China's approach in arms export is fast but not like the USA and Russia.

After the '60s Indian Subcontinent is one of the favorite places for weapon traders because of India & Pakistan. Russia is the main weapon supplier of India from its birth but Pakistan had their ex. The USA was the main weapon supplier of Pakistan. Due to diplomatic,  geopolitical and Pakistan's vulnerable economic issues now it's China who meets up Pakistan's need. In Pakistan the situation is like the USA is being kicked out by China.

It's a matter of acknowledgment that India and Pakistan both have developed their own defense industry with the help of Russia and China respectively.

Whatever weapon exporters say like this," You guys carry on. We are right behind you. Let us know if anything needed. Just get dollars ready."
