International sanctions in Russia have led to a reduction in sales, Raytheon Technologies said in a release Tuesday. Raytheon CFO's Neil Mitchill later told that the reduction in revenue was "closely related to direct and indirect trade that is no longer allowed due to international sanctions imposed on Russia."

About three-quarters of that $ 750 million lost was direct sales of equipment to Russia, Mitchill said, with the remaining half being engine parts that could have been sold primarily by Pratt & Whitney Canada.

"We remain confident in the long-term vision of our businesses, backed by a return to tourism and a growing global defense budget," Raytheon chief executive Greg Hayes said in a press release Tuesday.

Global military spending reached $ 2 trillion for the first time, a new report said Monday. It grew 0.7% last year to $ 2.113 trillion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Growth is likely to intensify this year, as Europe raises defensive spending following the Feb. 24 of Russia in Ukraine.

Defense stocks rose in late February with high spending expectations. But last week Lockheed Martin (LMT) revenues were severely affected by service delivery disruptions due to Covid-19 omicron variations and inflation.
