Introduction:— In 2015, the combined total estimate of the Muslim country's military budget stood at $194.7 billion dollars, with the biggest spender amongst the Islamic nations being Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Iran. Afghanistan remains one of the lowest funded at some $200 million dollars in 2015 (but propped up to over $11 billion dollars from US financing). Minus the two largest spenders, the Islamic world spent $107.5 billion dollars in 2015, having doubled since 1988 which was at $43 billion dollars. Overall, including the two big spenders, the total budget quadrupled from $56.4 billion dollars from 1988 to $212 billion dollars in 2016 (similar to 1989 USSR).[n. 1] The USA's budget has stayed at a constant $590 billion dollars per year for the same timeline (with some minor and major fluctuations over time). However saying this, Pakistan, Indonesia and Egypt are particular under-performers, which ideally should be as high as the UK's ($55.4 billion dollars in 2015), Frances' ($50.9 billion dollars) and Germany's ($39.4 billion dollars). A particular focus on industrialisation is lacking; most of these countries are not information economies, thereby limiting funds. Israel's budget is $16.1 billion dollars in 2015, and is largely funded by the US with it having leeched $140 billion dollars since it's creation, along with an additional $38 billion dollars signed from 2016 up to 2026.[1]
