(워싱턴 로이터=연합뉴스) 한국이 올해 미국의 9대 무기 수출국이었던 것으로 집계됐다.
6일(현지시간) 미국 국방부 산하 국방안보협력국(DSCA)의 해외무기수출 현황 자료에 따르면 미국은 2009 회계연도(2008년10월~2009년9월)에 한국에 7억1천660억달러 어치의 무기를 수출한 것으로 나타났다.
이는 올해 미국의 무기 수출 금액을 국가별로 배열했을 때 9위에 해당하는 규모다.
아랍에미리트가 79억달러로 미국의 최대 무기 수출국이었고 아프가니스탄(54억달러), 사우디아라비아(33억달러), 대만(32억달러), 이집트(21억달러), 이라크(16억달러) 등이 뒤따랐다.
한편 올해 미국의 무기 수출금액은 381억달러로 지난해의 364억달러 대비 4.7% 증가, 연간 최고치를 경신했다.
이는 최저치인 1998 회계연도와 비교할 때 465% 급증한 수치다.
2010년 수출금액은 약 379억달러로 올해에 미치지 못할 것으로 예상되고 있다.

Record High Foreign Military Sales

In the realm of Security Cooperation, we often struggle to capture metrics that illustrate trends and outcomes. However, one of our standard metrics has always been the level of Foreign Military Sales.
With Fiscal Year 2009 figures tallied, and looking back at our projected total sales of $40 billion, we can take pride in the fact we achieved a new record of $37.9 billion in sales. To put that in historical perspective, that is a 465% growth from a low point of $8.1 billion in FY 1998 and slightly over our previous record figure of $36.4 billion in FY 08.
These figures are indicative of the Security Cooperation community’s level of professionalism and drive to strengthen our partners by meeting their needs, which strengthens our national security.
While we may continue to struggle with capturing metrics, it is clear we have captured the professionalism and drive of the Security Cooperation community, leading us to project $38.4 billion in Foreign Military Sales for FY 10 and causing us to look forward to another record year together.
