Keep mind that even these manufacturers are not "strictly" European. Used to work at a subcontractor making aerospace chips for BAE in Tennessee.

Posted this already yesterday but yeah...

All US weapons systems have become unreliable or outright dangerous in an instant.

They said that a US administration could put restrictions on kit (read equipment) from the US and that if countries are “deemed not to be doing what you are told you will suddenly find out missiles won’t fire and planes won’t fly. You have got to be careful.”

Which means they could switch off all the weapons they sold to Ukraine.

Which is why investors assume that EU based weapons manufacturers (like Rheinmetall) will have a lot of customers soon.

I assume they'll also be finding ways to switch that shit off.

nice summary. I’m thinking investing in either rheinmetal, dassault, airbus or saab for starters..
