Abstract

The Corona Virus Crisis, which has plagued many countries for months, will change the world forever. The disease has disrupted markets, just as it has wiped out people. It will also change the political, economic and military power of countries forever. The consequences of the coronavirus are becoming more widespread, as well as affecting the military and causing governments to reconsider their defense and military policies. Given the priority of health care, it seems that the budgets of other sectors, including the defense sector, will be adjusted and reduced. This reduction will have a negative impact on the defense supply chain.
This report tries to examine the impact of this disease on the defense supply chain; accordingly, the impact of this disease on the budget and defense credits, defense trade, and transnational defense projects has been expressed. Then there are the shocks of Corona's disease on production methods and the supply chain, the decline in demand for military products due to the spread of Corona, the impact on the defense industry, and finally the scenarios facing the defense industry to deal with the crisis.
