Virtually all of those contracts are competitively bid. It’s unlikely they won’t be able to reverse engineer or buy from another EU vendor as they share so much hardware. So, yes, not only have they screwed up their Israeli business but anybody else would have to think twice before dealing with them. The Swiss cancelled a grenade contract because the Brits went into Iraq with us. I’d be shocked if Britain ever bought another thing from the Swiss. Playing politics with your arms sales is very short sighted.
