South Africa
Coming out of the cruel apartheid regime, South Africa’s locally manufactured weapons were at the time described as crowd-control equipment, consisting of attack helicopters, military trucks, security vehicles, assault rifles, handguns and armoured personnel cars. Considered as a country with one of the most advanced weaponry in the world today, South Africa has, in recent times, made some light armoured vehicles and anti-tank missiles. Its weaponry is demanded in several countries across the world. In 2016 and 2017, South Africa supplied arms to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates including heavy artillery guns and assault rifles, ammunition, armoured vehicles, surveillance and military technology, according to the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC).
