BAe don't mention in their apprentice advert why they need so many ; there is a demographic bomb in the whole company , RW probably has some numbers.
Good time to be looking to add to the workforce , there is a lot of demand out there for a stable job with a reliable employer.

Showdown in the Pacific: America's F-35 Stealth Fighter vs. China's J-31
There is the old saying that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" – and whether that is true or not, in the world of military hardware there have certainly been a lot of imitations, particularly in aircraft. The People's Republic of China has been among the nations that have arguably been most "sincere" in terms of military flattery in that case.

Yes, difficult to understand. It's not even keeping pace with the FTSE since Nov'20

hardm. I agree, contracts and projects are still being won on a daily basis.

BAE Systems secures Fleetway Inc. contract to provide digital support to the Royal Canadian Navy

Another disappointing day of trading, slightly up then falling back again.

It's simply following the FTSE with auto-trading, but deserves much better with current year forecasts and future order books. Still massively undervalued.

Russia Uses Augmented Reality Technologies To Produce Su-57 Fighter Jet

The videos were allegedly filmed in March 2020 at the United Aircraft Corporation’s Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant and show a first person look through an augmented reality headset providing workers with interactive features during the Su-57 assembling.

The system works with QR codes that are being attached to Su-57 parts and allow specialists to work with the combination of real-world and virtual objects.

The leaked videos with the augmented reality technology show the previously unrevealed level of the sophistication in the production of Russian fighter jets.

In comparison, Northrop Grumman employs projectors to highlight parts of the F-35 on the production line and help specialists involved in the fighter jet assembling. Nonetheless, this can hardly been compared with the interactive augmented reality.

It seems that there are some little gaps in the mainstream media concept of painting Russia the third-world power that can nothing besides selling energy resources and meddling in the US election.

Thank you fearny, suprised that no mainstream news has picked it up. Perhaps its in the shadow of covid/brexit talks

Germany's ban on Saudi arms sales is extended, BUT with an "exception for weapons produced jointly with other European countries".

I suggest this allows the sale of typhoons, which is great news if the deal is still on the table.
