More good news post Brexit for this neck of the woods... Babcock lands Jackal armoured car deal bringing dozens of jobs to Plymouth's Devonport Dockyard. Devonport-based Babcock International Group Plc has secured a multi-million pound Government contract to build Jackal armoured cars in Plymouth. The engineering giant will work with Devon defence vehicle designer and manufacturer Supacat on a project which will create 90 jobs in Plymouth and enable Babcock to expand operations in the freeport’s South Yard tax-break site. Supacat received the order from the Ministry of Defence on behalf of the British Army for 70 of the High Mobility Transporters (HMT 400 series), to be manufactured at Supacat’s factory at Dunkeswell near Honiton, where another 10 jobs will be created, and the Babcock facility in Devonport. The contract award, for an undisclosed sum, could lead to as many as 240 of the light armoured vehicles, should operational requirements demand. Named Jackal by the British Army, the HMT 400 series was, developed in the 1990s and builds on the success of Supacat’s original All Terrain Mobility Platform (ATMP). The vehicle was brought into service under urgent operational requirements (UOR) to provide British forces in Afghanistan with an off-road patrol and fire-support vehicle with increased performance, replacing Land Rover vehicles. Since then, the British Army’s fleet has made the HMT 400 platform integral to its land tactics and operations.

Why could this not happen when the UK was in the EU? Defense buying, selling and deployment has always been a national decision. The tiny number of jobs "created" is at every best insignificant. It equals 3 and a half classrooms of children. And not necessarily from Mother Britain. But hey, every little bit counts. |

Babcock Nuclear chief executive Dominic Kieran said: “The demolition of the first building is a major milestone. These projects will secure the site’s long-term future, readying our operations infrastructure for decades to come to support the delivery of critical national defence outputs, while providing around 200 new roles and supply chain opportunities in the region.”

Are you going to take every tiny piece of news about tiny bits of development as "proof" of the success of Brexit?
If you knew anything about the EU you would know that it never had the right to influence any national military investment. That is why at the moment every member of the EU is making its own decisions about sending arms to Ukraine, why every member can for example build a new warship, develop a new fighter jet, sell an old airstrip or sell arms to Saudi Arabia.
It is clear from your posts over time that you Jonksy, have no idea of the limits of EU influence over member states. And it surprises me that you assume that none of the other members would surrender their sovereign control over their own fundamental development and identity. And please don't insult us with a pathetic reply that they are weak and surrender monkeys or some such childish phrase.
THE EU HAS NO POWERS TO INFLUENCE NATIONAL MILITARY DECISIONS.
Or decisions about health, education, social security, income tax, investment both internal and external, civil and criminal law, interest rates, transport or communications and environmental standards.
It is an ENABLER, a provider of tools like trade deals, communications satellites, and the euro. Members can use them or not.
Thirty new jobs in some tangential military change is not going to rock any boats and won't make headlines except perhaps page 4 of the local paper.
So let's stop boasting about 30 or 200 jobs that have had nothing to do with the EU.

meanwhile back on planet Earth . . . . Someone has to be first, the un-democratic EUSSR just want everything their own way............So what is wrong with US being the first country, does it matter which country in the world if first?
EUSSR humiliated as Biden's energy aide refuses to apologise after sparking trade war Story by Antony Ashkenaz • 6h ago
The EUSSR has been left fuming after a senior White Official pushed back against criticisms over the massive $369billion (£307billion) climate spending plan launched by the US last year. John Podesta, President Joe Biden's senior clean energy adviser slammed the bloc's complaints, saying that the US would make "no apologies" for prioritising American jobs, amidst accusations that Washington DC had started a trade war in a bid to become the world leader in the energy transition from fossil fuels like oil and gas to renewables.
Last August, the US passed President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which provided massive boosts to companies looking to develop renewable energy and build electric vehicles in the country.
Even in the UK, Whitehall officials fear that the controversial Act will in effect ban UK-made green technology cars from the US market by allowing massive subsidies for the struggling American sector and setting up crippling tariffs.
With such tantalising tax incentives offered by the US, experts have warned that companies in Europe have begun moving their production across the continent.
However, Mr Podesta pushed back against accusations that the policies would divert investment away from the continent and undermine the economy, arguing that the continent should "welcome US leadership".
