" ... I think spending £2bn on tanks when the country is in debt is ludicrous anyway no matter where the contract is placed ..."

Maybe a lend-and-lease contract ? They used this before, and England can pay it back when it has won the .. ahem.

uk is also to get the f35 by 2012 13, rumors say us marines units will get them first, to replace the harrier.

little industry left in uk. feel sorry for uk people ,really hope somthing turns around,even here in the us things are not so hot. yea these military contracts will keep some jobs on, but in times like these money could be better spent on its people.
not the aircraft thats deadly, its the bomb bullet and missile.

has to be a better system?

..i dont trust any political leaders anymore, tv is total brain washing. i forsee possible riots in western free nation countries soon, people will simply steal to eat.
