For major powers like America, USSR, Nazi Germany, the bennifits are obvious. However, I think smaller powers, especially like S.Korea would do much better importing most of their weapons than making them themselves. Obviously not all foreign weapons suit the needs of the smaller powers and some need to be created internally, I think the Merkava IV tank is an excellent example of where a foreign tank design doesn't fit the needs of a smaller power.
