Israel is the largest exporter of drones in the world, a leading industry consultancy firm announced Sunday.

In the past eight years, sales of Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles have totalled $4.62 billion, according to figures.

The company said that in its calculations, it included products, services and licenses sold to other countries that enable them to produce their own drones. Those type of transactions made up almost 10 percent of Israel’s defense exports, it added.

One of the main reasons for the growth in Israeli exports is the decrease in global importers that depend on the US Department of Defense, the company estimated.
