you need to get out more and live outside your bubble
Dont mind some of these sour losers. They dont know that outside of the U.S we have the world's largest defence Industry as we are the worlds secound largest defence exporter with our companies having a global reach.
Only a fool will think or say we cant build defence equipment ourselves. we have been doing that wayyyyy before many of them even became independent. Lmao.

Britain continues to sell arms to countries that commit human rights abuses and is now ranked second in the world for weapons sales, a report shows.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) found the UK was second only to the United States in selling weapons in 2014.
Britain’s biggest arms company, BAE Systems, is the world’s third largest seller of weapons with over $25.7 billion in sales last year.
UK weapons sales made up 10.4 percent of the total $401 billion worth of arms sold around the world.
Other UK arms firms in the top 100 include Babcock (25), Serco (49), Cobham (53), QuinetiQ (72), GKN (70), and Meggitt (87).
Figures from SIPRI indicate the arms industry continues to profit from billions of pounds worth of sales to countries with poor human rights records, such as Saudi Arabia, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria, and Israel.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed to RT in June that it has sold weapons to Saudi Arabia that are being used in the country’s ongoing war in Yemen.
Observers including Amnesty International have accused the Gulf kingdom of committing possible war crimes in the conflict.
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) spokesperson Andrew Smith told the CommonSpace news website that these British companies rely on government “compliance” to make money.
“The fact that the UK arms trade comes second only to the United States is a sign of the support it gets from the UK government,” he said.
“These companies thrive off conflict and rely on compliant governments in order to do so. BAE Systems, for example, does a huge amount of business in the Middle East, and its fighter jets are central to the destruction that has been unleashed on the people of Yemen.”

They should focus their attention on the many troubles the middle East and muslim world is facing. Instead of getting involved in world powers issues they have no knowledge about.let's keep milking the world defence market while they keep claiming we don't make anything. Lol
JUST because we are not fond of boasting around about everything we make doesn't mean these naive people should fall for it.
Ignorance is a crime indeed.
Let me refresh your memory mate. Pakistan end-up fighting a conflict with a country 5 time it's size, despite being under all sort of sanctions in 90s. I am afraid, your little Island wouldn't last long under such conditions. If it wasn't for the US, you guys would be speaking german right now.
Lmao.....Pakistan the world power fighting and defeating India indeed(never mind that they lost all the wars they fought against India despite U.S and British support in 1971 war). Lool
As for your claim about speaking German or whatever that means, go ask yourself why despite the fact that we fought both nazi Germany(we started fighting them way before uncle sam and your papa Russia even entered the war.lol) and imperial Japan at the same time(something even Russia avoided), yet no foreign power ever set foot in our soil through invasion in modern history.
You all speak English afterall for a reason you know.
