No longer wanting to be considered just a 'backup plan' that can be used at will!
The UK is now determined to become independent by increasing its own weapons production without having to have any direct connection with America.
Whether to be independent or to sulk behind the scenes is an important story in itself!
This decision was taken after tensions between the country and other countries raised concerns that it would no longer be able to rely on countries like America and France.
With Trump now considered shaky and unpredictable as a military partner, it is time for the UK to be independent - not because it is sulking, but because it is smart to read the future.
BAE Systems, Europe's largest defense company, has announced the opening of three new sites to produce locally made RDX explosives, which are the main components in the UK military's 155mm ammunition.
According to Defense Minister John Healey, this move is not only a security strategy but also an engine of economic growth.
There is no longer any need to wait for weapons 'made in the USA'. The UK can even fry its own bombs.
