Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the United States has
employed as many means as possible to fight the war on terror. In
one aspect, however, an alarming trend has emerged. The United
States is more willing than ever to sell or give away weapons to
countries that have pledged assistance in the global war on terror.
In the past, the United States has used arms sales to "reward"
countries for their loyalty. And, today, if one examines each sale
or change in policy individually, there does not appear to be a
paradigm shift in U.S. arms export policy. However, when one looks
at these transfers together, it becomes clear that the United States
has altered its relationships with a significant number of
countries, many of which are now receiving military aid that would
have been denied before Sept. 11.
The United States has revised the list of countries that are
ineligible to receive U.S. weapons. Since Sept. 11, the United
States has waived restrictions on arms or military assistance to
Armenia, Azerbaijan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Yugoslavia.
Since Sept. 11, the United States has made billions of dollars
worth of arms deals to strategic countries, including a $1.2 billion
sale of fighter jets and missiles to Oman and nearly $400 million
worth of missiles to Egypt. Countries identified as fighting
terrorist groups are also set to receive large shipments of military
aid, including $92 million in weapons to the Philippines. Other
countries are benefiting from military training relationships.
Indonesia, for example, which had been banned from receiving
military training, is set to receive training through the new
Regional Defense Counter Terrorism Fellowship Program, a new DoD
program that is not subject to training limitations contained in the
annual Foreign Operations legislation. Human rights and lack of
democracy concerns have been given less importance in some cases.
Turkey is now set to receive 14 Sea Hawk naval helicopters, even
though accusations of gross human rights abuses and tensions with
regional rival Greece have delayed other recent helicopter deals.
To avoid being seen as favoring one side over another, some of
these recent sales and military aid packages have been given to both
sides of a conflict. Both India and Pakistan are set to receive
weapons and, in direct response to the lifting of sanctions to
Azerbaijan, Armenia was promised $90 million in foreign assistance,
$4 million in foreign military financing, and $300,000 for military
training.
These sales are just the tip of the iceberg. After the Gulf War,
arms exports to the Middle East skyrocketed. The recent display of
force with American weaponry could lead to another spike in the near
future. Further, while arms agreements are made in the short term,
export licenses are good for four years and production can take much
longer, and thus actual arms deliveries will continue in the long
run.
Below is a compilation of post-Sept. 11 pending and approved
U.S. arms sales. The data is collected from the following sources:
House International Relations Committee (HIRC), the
Federal Register,
Jane’s,
Defense News and
Defense Systems Daily.

must be notified of any proposed U.S. arms sale, the process after
notification depends on the requirements of that type of
transfer. “Congress Notified” means that Congress is aware of the
sale, it does not mean that the sale has been approved, although
in some cases it has been hence it is very difficult to follow up
on the status a sale if it is not a Department of Defense
contract.
