Appendix 10B. Register of transfers of major conventional weapons, 2005 BJÖRN HAGELIN, MARK BROMLEY and SIEMON T. WEZEMAN Table 10B.1 lists major weapons delivered or on order during 2005, including licensed production. In cases where the recipient is directly involved in the production of weapons received or ordered (through the production of components or through local assembly or licensed pro- duction), the supplier is listed as ‘licenser’ in a separate section of the recipient’s record. Sources and methods for the data collection, and the conventions, abbreviations and acronyms used, are explained below the table and in appendix 10C. Entries in the table are arranged alphabetically, by recipient, supplier and licenser. ‘Year(s) of deliveries’ includes aggregates of all deliveries and licensed production since the beginning of the contract. ‘Deal worth’ values in the Comments column refer to real monetary values as reported in sources, not to SIPRI trend- indicator values. The data presented are as of February 2006. For current or previous years’ data and for registers of suppliers, consult the SIPRI Arms Transfers Project website, URL <http://www.sipri.org/contents/armstrad/at_data.html>. Table 10B.1.
