It seems the UK, Aus and Canada seem to suffer the same thing.
I also noticed with a quick google that some other small countries
also suffer it !
Someone did point out that the main reason for MRH90 and Tiger was because they could be built here. I really do have to wonder whether the cost is worth it. Using defence as a job creation scheme is, IMHO the wrong way to procure things.
What are they going to do next, say to Boeing or Airbus that
they have to build the next lot of aircraft here in Aus ?
