Britain supplied over 90 per cent of major conventional weapons delivered to Iraq in 2004 following the lifting of the UN arms embargo last June, according to the latest figures from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri).
In its 2005 yearbook, Sipri listed the UK transferring an index of 72 of its general trend value expressed in millions of dollars at constant 1990 prices out of a total 81 delivered to Iraq last year.
The balance was supplied by the US, UAE and Germany.
Its data values are used as an indicator to permit comparisons of the volume of international arms transfers and not the actual financial values of the deliveries.
The figures come as Jane's Defence Weekly reported Tuesday that Britain has been supplying more military equipment to Iraq over the past six months.
