According to this article in 2007 Israel passed Britain to become the fourth largest defense exporting country. They follow the US, Russia and France now. The two biggest customers are the US and India. The recent win of the Indian AWACS contract, reported here, had a great deal to do with that. The Israeli government and industry have made major strides in recent times increasing their exports rather then just focusing on domestic needs.
