Arms imports into Tanzania 2011-2018, by supplier
China was the major provider of arms in Kenya in the period between 2011 and 2018, with a value of 342 million SIPRI trend indicator value (TIV). TIV is a measure to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer. It neither reflects prices paid for weapons nor represents current dollar values for arm transfers. France was the second main supplier (32 million TIV), followed by the Netherlands (20 million TIV). Arms imported include aircraft, air defense system, armored vehicles, artillery, engines, missiles, sensors, and ships.
