Figure 2. Imports of missiles by Middle Eastern states, 2016–25

Note: ‘Air defence missiles’ = all missiles designed for use against airborne targets. ‘Air-to-surface/surface-to-surface missiles’ = all missiles designed for use against land- or sea-based targets.
The comparison of import volumes uses SIPRI trend-indicator values (TIVs). The method used for calculating TIVs is described here.
