How is it not already against a law about TREASON?

[Ovidio]

Too bad. That’s treason…

Chinese offered the inventor of metal storm $50 million if he would go there and develop the system he refused........

[jond41403]

Wow, that metal Storm sounds like electricity jumping off a transformer when fired haha. Simply amazing that many projectiles are fired by computer one projectile at a time that quickly. Thanks for sharing cinders, mind-blown. That has to be the future of upcoming weapons. No brass, no powder, no primers, no headspace to worry about, not anything but tubes and a computer! So many components and materials saved by that technology. Interesting times we live in for sure

Meanwhile BAE supply technicians and weapons for the Saudi Tornadoes to bomb the Yemen with, then the UK sends aid and delivers on UN programmes to help the war torn Yemenis.

The arms trade is a paradox!

[Tom in N.J.]

As the man said, "it's just business".....

[Flying10uk]

You wouldn't think that the law would need changing because one would assume that it was already covered by the official secrets act.

[Surpmil]

Keep looking.

These are intelligent men, selected from the best at the time, to be our front line fighter pilots.
They clearly still have a lot to offer, but surely not to our future adverseries.
Forgetting about the Official Secrets Act and other serious laws to infringe.........its common sense why you shouldn't be assisting them!!
£250,000 wage a year is nothing compared to the loss of even one of our young, or indeed ANY NATO pilots life in the future as the South China Sea conflict builds, having taught them tactics!!
Can't help thinking someone must have signed this off as OK to do at MOD!!
IMHO we should open the Tower of London!!
