I found this quote from Kate Forbes very interesting So having access to that huge single market, but also having sort of streamlined and accessible relationships or trading relationships with the rest of the UK. Does she not realise that the UK is still the official sovereign government of NI. So ...

We need the current government to sign up to some Gordon Brown style Carrier contracts to be sure of that.... I hope they do..... The looming UK general election must be a slight concern to the Japanese government, in this critical moment when the embryonic corporate structure of Tempest is being f...

TSR2 is the Uk version of Canadian Avro C-105 Drama? Much worse TSR2 was mentioned, so here we go..... There's an interesting synergy between the TSR2 and Arrow,both world leading programmes, both killed by government inability to see the huge strides and opportunities the programmes offered. In ma...

The simple fact is Uncle Sam is the NATO piper and we all follow the piper.... 6.8 X 51mm has been adopted and we all will eventually follow suit.... And how many of those NATO countries will remember the US 762 / M14 bs and think "nah, lets wait a while and see it get dumped to a DMR role&quo...

I hope BAE and Leonardo in particular take the opportunity to integrate as much as possible on this. The combined strengths would make a formidable competitor. In my perfect world there one day be a comprehensive Anglo Italy JV company covering all air platforms.- Tempest, Helicopters, M346 - 50/50...

6.8 X 51mm has been adopted and we all will eventually follow suit.... It will be interesting to see if that actually happens or if an intermediate round is also selected. IMO the 6.8X51 is too much and not enough. I'm assuming not, I think 5.56mm will remain the alternative round, rather than adop...

Better ballistics and compatibility Please elaborate? Bullet ballistic coefficients. Thanks. Firstly, don’t get too wrapped up in BCs. They are an important factor but not the only one. You also have consider muzzle velocity, recoil, chamber pressure, inherent accuracy plus how much kinetic energy ...

180 for the UK does sound fantasy fleets....I'd say more like 120.... The only way I can see us getting to 180 would be if the F-35 fleet is shifted entirely to the Royal Navy's budget, which would require a rather vast amount of additional funding. My thoughts would be somewhere around 100 in the ...

….US Army will change over from 7.62 to 6.8 and fund the cost of replacing all its 7.62 machine guns with 6.8 barrels, if they do expect British Army would follow. Why would you want to do that? What advantages has the 6.8X51 got over the 7.62X51 in the GPMG or Minigun? Better ballistics and compat...

Three thousand folks from Somerset on line 2. Tell them to use the prefex 0039 Ron and speak to their employers. Are we looking for a proper medium helicopter solution, or running an employment agency? Don't worry, Leonardo will win, of that I have absolutely no doubt as the tail once again wags th...

The current cost of a bog standard UH-60M, as delivered to the US Army is about $6 million a copy. I am not sure where do you get this number. For example Croatia is getting 4 UH-60M. Two were donated by US but other two are paid $55 million. Croatia is set to receive four UH-60M helicopters, with ...

Frankly, with the way the Government is cutting spending on everything, I'm starting to get the whiff of death about the whole programme. Yea, I wouldn't be surprised if they canned it and held on to Puma for a few more years with the "suggestion" that they'll go straight to Valor (built ...
