Main suppliers of arms imports to Angola 2013-2020
Russia was the major provider of arms to Angola in the period between 2013 and 2020, with a value of 501 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. China was the second main supplier (72 million TIV), followed by Lithuania (60 million TIV). Arms included aircraft, air defense systems, armored vehicles, artillery, engines, naval weapons, sensors, and ships.
