Everything I'm about to list below is really minor compared to what they're doing.<br /><br />Colombia is exporting some small items that it has gained expertise in over the past few decades including refurbished bullet-proof cars and bomb sniffing dogs. It's less an industry and more small business finding export markets.<br /><br />Venezuela has recently sold or given away some defense items to allies, but it's limited in scale.<br /><br />Argentina and Chile have some industries doing defense or dual-use parts. Argentina has discussed increasing it in recent years.<br /><br />Mexico's Hydra Technologies has designed and developed UAVs which are operational and will probably find an export market.bozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233148632004720002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21674624.post-15825086073094737152010-06-07T21:24:52.698-04:002010-06-07T21:24:52.698-04:00Greg,
