Britain is planning to significantly enhance its domestic weapons production to eliminate dependence on importing munitions from the US and France. This shift is driven by the perception of the US as an unreliable military partner under President Trump. BAE Systems, the UKâs largest defense contractor, is establishing new sites for producing RDX explosives domestically. This move is intended to improve supply chain resilience and ensure compliance with international trade restrictions, thus allowing for unrestricted transactions of munitions. The UKâs Defence Secretary emphasizes this strategy as crucial for military preparedness and economic stability.
BAE Systems is prioritizing domestic production of explosives, moving away from reliance on US imports due to concerns over political stability and military partnership.
Strengthening homegrown artillery production is vital in learning from past international conflicts, enhancing our industrial resilience, and stimulating economic growth.
