Last year, the U.S. spent as much money on its military expenses as the rest of the world combined. See the Global Issues' page titled 'World Military Spending' for details. The suggested US defence budget by the current administration, presented by secretary Gates, will increase fixed spending by almost 4% from the previous fiscal year.

A senior Russian official has, on Wednesday, confirmed that country's agreement to sell air defence missiles to Iran. Russian news sources have also indicated that the transfer of this military technology has not yet taken place, and appears to be delayed for political reasons. The reason given by a Russian defence expert was that "fulfillment of the contract will mainly depend on the current international situation and the decision of the country's leadership."
