However, countries have been negatively hit by the pandemic due to disruptions in supply chain and lack of availability of supply. For instance, due to domestic financial and operational difficulties and decrease in arms export, the country’s defense industry slumped to a lower level. Further, spending on defense and military technologies could also provide economic boosts to the domestic markets, especially for regions like South Korea and China, which has a robust domestic defense industry.
