Abstract: It is difficult to know precisely what arms exports are, because a tool can be both a civilian tool and a military tool. In addition, the transaction price is not always well defined, as contracts contain important obligations regarding spare parts, training or access to technology for the buyer. France exports a lot of arms, both out of necessity (to achieve economies of scale), but also to support an allied country militarily and strategically. The arms industries seem to have to resort more and more to industrial cooperation, except probably for the United States. France is an important arms exporter in the world.
