However, the drop in R&#038;D spending (\u20131.2 per cent) was smaller than that in arms procurement spending (\u20135.4 per cent).<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe increase in R&#038;D spending over the decade 2012\u201321 suggests that the United States is focusing more on next-generation technologies,\u201d said Alexandra Marksteiner, Researcher with SIPRI\u2019s Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe US Government has repeatedly stressed the need to preserve the US military\u2019s technological edge over strategic competitors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Russia increased its military expenditure by 2.9 per cent in 2021 to USD 65.9 billion at a time when it was building up its forces along the Ukrainian border, the SIPRI report said.<\/p>\n<p> This was the third consecutive year of growth and Russia\u2019s military spending reached 4.1 per cent of GDP in 2021.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cHigh oil and gas revenues helped Russia to boost its military spending in 2021. Russian military expenditure had been in decline between 2016 and 2019 as a result of low energy prices combined with sanctions in response to Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea in 2014,\u201d said Lucie B\u00e9raud-Sudreau, Director of SIPRI\u2019s Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme.<\/p>\n<p> The \u2018national defence\u2019 budget line, which accounts for around three-quarters of Russia\u2019s total military spending and includes funding for operational costs as well as arms procurement, was revised upwards over the course of the year.<\/p>\n<p> The final figure was USD 48.4 billion, 14 per cent higher than had been budgeted at the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p> As it has strengthened its defences against Russia, Ukraine\u2019s military spending has risen by 72 per cent since the annexation of Crimea in 2014.<\/p>\n<p> Spending fell in 2021, to USD 5.9 billion, but still accounted for 3.2 per cent of the country\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n<p> China, the world\u2019s second-largest spender, allocated an estimated USD 293 billion to its military in 2021, an increase of 4.7 per cent compared with 2020, the report said.<\/p>\n<p> China\u2019s military spending has grown for 27 consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p> The 2021 Chinese budget was the first under the 14th Five-Year Plan, which runs until 2025, the report said.<\/p>\n<p> India&#8217;s military expenditure increased to USD 76.6 billion in 2021, marking a 0.9 per cent hike over the 2020 figures, it said.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;India&#8217;s military expenditure of USD 76.6 billion in 2021 was the third highest in the world. Its spending was up by 0.9 per cent from 2020 and by 33 per cent from 2012,&#8221; the report issued by the Stockholm-based defence think-tank said.<\/p>\n<p> Following initial approval of its 2021 budget, the Japanese government added USD 7.0 billion to military spending, the report said, adding that as a result, spending rose by 7.3 per cent, to USD 54.1 billion in 2021, the highest annual increase since 1972.<\/p>\n<p> Eight European North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members reached the Alliance\u2019s target of spending 2 per cent or more of GDP on their armed forces in 2021. This is one fewer than in 2020 but up from two in 2014.<\/p>\n<p> Germany, the third largest spender in Central and Western Europe, spent USD 56.0 billion on its military in 2021, or 1.3 per cent of its GDP. Military spending was 1.4 per cent lower compared with 2020 due to inflation, the report added.
