According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in 2018 Israel takes 8th place in that regard and stands besides US, Russia, France, China, Germany, UK. This raises a question: how can a small nation succeed in such competitive field of
industry? The aim of this study is to investigate Israel defense industry (IDI) context and developments in IDI from 1930s to 2018, as that could possibly indicate a way forward for countries that prefer to develop or enhance national defense industry. R
