How to read this
This page records that a weapon system was transferred, ordered or approved for export between two governments, as published in a public register. It is not an accusation, and it says nothing about how the equipment was later used.
Where a register states no price, this page says so rather than estimating one. Where a figure covers a programme rather than a single shipment, the confidence score is lowered.
