Yeah actually if it wins Britain will get some work and a british company well get orders.

AFAIK the M777 is being offered on FMS by USG (where the M777 is actually made and devloped) and the gun is British in name only. And AFAIK the deal would have most of the guns assembled in India by OFB from parts shipped from US (as deal is too small for ToT and FMS usually stunts this).
