Israel exported 5.66 billion dollars worth of defense goods in 2014, the Jerusalem Post cited the Defense Ministry as saying on Thursday.

The figure represents a continuation of a down turn in defense sales, with 6.54 billion dollars of exports recorded in 2013.

According to the ministry's Defense Export and Cooperation branch, most of the sales involved enhancing planes and aerial systems, drones, command and control and communications systems, air defense systems, radars, electronic warfare suites, precision weapons, and advanced protection systems.

The region that bought up the highest number of Israeli products last year was Asia Pacific, followed by North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa.
