Saudi Arabia has overtaken India to become the world’s biggest importer of arms in 2014, a study found on Sunday.
The figures show that Saudi Arabia now spends more on importing weapons than India, a country whose population is over 40 times larger than that of the Gulf heavyweight.
Riyadh’s spending on arms imports grew by 54 percent from 2012 to 2013, and experts say demand for weaponry in the Gulf kingdom will continue to grow.
