| Message | We believe a mixed market is good for the defence industry (just look at the US and UK defence industry, compared with Cuba or North Korea). |

| Message | The US are considering buying Starstreak HVM as an AAM for their AH-64's, BAe Systems have part of the JSF contract and own H&K, the Challenger II MBT and Warrior IFV are world-renowned, even the SA80 (A2 variant) is improving its reputation now. I'm sure the new aircraft carriers and nuclear subs will be at least mostly manufactured in Britain as well. |
