Military spending
This article is a list of countries by military expenditure, the amount spent on
defense by a nation in a given year. Military expenditure figures are presented in US$
at either constant or current exchange rates, the results can vary greatly from one year
to another based on fluctuations in the exchange rates of the country's currency. Such
fluctuations may change a country's ranking from one year to the next. Currently, the
world's five largest military spenders (United States, China, Russia, the United
Kingdom and France) are recognized to be world powers with each being a vetowielding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
The first list is based on the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)
Yearbook 2011 which includes a list on the world's top 15 military spenders in 2010 at
current market exchange rates. The second list is based on the SIPRI military
expenditure database for the year 2010 (in constant 2009 US$).
