Israeli industries noted a record on Wednesday in defense exports, reaching an unprecedented $7.2 billion in comparison to $6.9b. in 2009, the Defense Ministry announced ahead of the Paris Air Show, which opens next week.
Israel is believed to be one of the world’s top four exporters of arms with specializations in the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles, mini satellites, command-and-control systems, armored vehicles and the refurbishment of various types of commercial and military aircraft.
[..] In total, Israeli defense companies sold $9.6b. worth of military hardware in 2010, out of which $2.4b. went to the IDF. In recent years, defense industries have invested in establishing joint ventures and partnerships in South America, Asia and South Korea.
Fifteen Israeli companies will set up exhibits at the air show, including a number of small and medium-sized companies that will be in Paris for the first time. SIBAT recently established a new “small business” division aimed at assisting smaller Israeli companies to break into the international defense market.
The Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system will be one of the main attractions in the Israeli pavilion. The Iron Dome succeeded in intercepting nine Kassam and Katyusha rockets fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel in April.
Defense Ministry director-general Udi Shani said the Iron Dome’s success served as potential for new growth in future exports.
Yamit, you apparently can’t even read, much less comprehend. You’re getting all hot under the collar, because I simply cut/pasted what is plainly posted on links found in Google. I made no comment whatsoever about which data is “better” or “worse”.

World’s Top 10 Arms Exporter For 2006- 2010
The list is about the World’s Top 10 Arms Exporter For 2006- 2010. These countries are sorted by rank according to their share of total world arms exports. These rankings are based on SIPRI Trend Indicator Values (TIVs). TIVs represent the volume of arms transfers and not the financial value of the goods transferred. TIVs can be used to measure trends in international arms transfers, such as changes in the total flow of weapons and the geographic pattern of arms exports or imports. However, they are not comparable to official economic data such as gross domestic product or export/import figures about Top 10 Arms
Exporter
couldn’t find your stats in above links except that they are antisemitic and anti Israel opposing all military trade with Israel.
They did write the they the Brits import hundreds of $millions from Israel. http://www.caat.org.uk/issues/israel.php
All of your links seem to be just repeating SIPRI. Apples and Apples not Tulips and Pansies
Janes agrees with me and they are at least authoritative.
LEARN TO READ AND COMPREHEND WHAT YOU POST BEFORE YOU POST!!!
Israel is able to advance upwards very fast using finances originated from the trade itself and soon from crude oil and gas revenues.
Air forces are changing rapidly incorporating remotely piloted aricraft instead of very expensive directly piloted ones. Israel is a leader on the new generation aircraft and will further its position as a one of the leaders in defense systems sales as a whole.
The directly piloted stealth aircraft is having one heck of a time to gain market traction. Most counries in the front lines can now produce far more economic drones with superb abilities.
Israel is probably up in the top five sellers of defense products and far more advanced systems are on the way.

Never use Yamit82 as your primary source.
Israel currently ranked based on $$$$$$ in military exports #4 or #5 and that’s just what is reported on the books. US and Russia have half the worlds arms market between them, Never use Wikipedia as your primary source.
Off the books, Israel sells to a lot of sensitive countries like China and Taiwan and even to some Arab and Muslim nations, besides Turkey.
I can only speculate how much but we can easily add another $1 bn to our total.
