Well you are wrong in the case of BAE. Do you work in the industry?

I do. And I am very active in the UK (six trips this year), working with MoD, DPA. Also very active in middle east.

US industry is far ahead and when it comes to foreign involvement, a) work-share ensures US keeps a huge part of any contracts, b) contract awards by the USG are very restrictive and any TAA/DSP-5 actions are examined to ensure no loss of technological edge, and c) no national security assets (like tankers) will ever go to foreign suppliers.
