French weapons exports reach a record breaking €20 billion in 2016

France has broken its record for exports of weapon. 2015 had also been a record because the sales volume had reached €15 billion, but 2016 was even better due to contracts for Rafalen and submarines with India and Australia.
 
 
The graph above shows the volume of exports since 2003. There has been a huge increase since 2013 because of the Rafale and submarine sales. Main clients are India, Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait and Australia.
