American defense companies racked up $81 billion in new foreign military sales last year, a more than 50 percent increase from 2022, with huge deals spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine leading the way.

The biggest deals were sales to Poland and Germany. Those sales come as the war in Ukraine rages on, raising fears about Moscow’s potential to target other countries.
