The statistic shows total U.S. arms exports in 2021 expressed in TIV, by weapon category. The TIV is based on the known unit production costs of a core set of weapons and is intended to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer. The TIV is expressed here in million constant U.S. dollars as of 1990. In 2021, the U.S. arms imports of aircraft totaled to about 295 million constant (1990) U.S. dollars.
The depicted import value is only an indicator and does not correspond to the actual financial value of the transfers.
