Speaking of domestic equipment foreign trade, I believe that all military fans have a personal experience through this Zhuhai Air Show. It is said that it is the Zhuhai Air Show, which has basically become a hot spot for domestic equipment. Various large singles are constantly on and off the field. Even after the air show has ended, the subsequent impact is still emerging. According to incomplete statistics, before and after the Air Show , there are many military trade cooperations such as Algeria , Indonesia , Saudi , Pakistan , Morocco and other military trade cooperation, involving ground equipment, fighter jets, rocket launcher , drone , anti-tank weapons, etc., and most of the users are rich oil tyrants and are not short of money at all.
According to social media reports, the top ten military industry enterprises in the global military trade in 2021 have recently released. Although the US still ranks high in the top ten companies, 4 of them came from domestic military trade companies, which would never have appeared before.
According to the data, the top five foreign trade and military-industrial enterprises in 2021 are all from the US companies, namely Lockheed Martin, which focuses on F-35 fighter jets with annual output of hundreds of aircraft, followed by Thor, Boeing , and Northrop Grumman. The company recently released the next generation of bomber B-21, and the fifth place is General.
These five are also the most famous defense contractors in the United States, as well as military-industrial complex , which military fans should be familiar with. The sixth place is the British BAE system and an old friend of international military trade. All four locations after this were contracted by domestic military trade enterprises, namely NORINCO Northern Industry, AVIC Aviation Industry, CASC Aerospace Science and Technology, and CETC China Electronics Technology . These domestic military trade companies have gone from obscurity to emerging in the international military trade stage, and have now stood in the middle of the stage, becoming one of the top ten military trade companies in the world, certifying the global status of domestic weapons and equipment and gaining recognition from users.
Although from the data point of view, the marketing data of US companies is relatively large, and there is still a gap between domestic companies. However, considering that domestic equipment is cost-effective and has a wide variety of equipment sold, in fact, the proportion of domestic military-industrial and foreign trade companies in the global foreign trade may not be much different from that of the United States. In terms of quantity, there are 5 US companies, 1 UK, and 4 domestic companies are almost tied with the US. This situation of equal sharing actually happened in the past decade, which has had a huge impact on , the Western world, .
There is another interesting phenomenon in this ranking. There is almost no military trade enterprises in European countries, nor Russian enterprises. This means that except for a few old military-industrial complexes in the United Kingdom and the United States, most foreign trade has nothing to do with European countries and Russia, and users have chosen domestic enterprises at the same time. Just over ten years ago, besides American weapons and equipment, it was the most popular in Europe. The Italian ship , French radar and Ziyuan, European gusts and typhoons, and they can't afford American goods. They are proud of equipment for European goods. However, now it seems that European equipment is nothing but everyone. Whether it is advanced rocket launchers, drones, or advanced fighter jets, air defense system has no advantages worth mentioning.
Overall, the development of domestic military trade enterprises over the past decade has been achieved step by step. In addition to the significant shrinkage of Western manufacturing, it is also related to the continuous improvement of the domestic materials and electronic industries. Domestic military-industrial enterprises do not intervene in local military affairs, but are just doing business and providing cost-effective equipment. This is also an important factor in success. In emerging equipment fields that can change the battlefield situation today, such as laser weapons, various drones, hypersonic weapons, and long-range rocket launchers, domestic companies' advantages are no less than those of Britain and the United States. How long can the top five US military-industrial complex guard the one-acre and three-point land of traditional equipment last? Perhaps in a few years, the top few will probably have to be given up.
