LONDON, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- British Ministry of Defence head Michael Fallon is pushing defense companies in the country direct their focus to exports.
The United Kingdom is already the 6th largest arms exporting country in the world, trailing right behind Germany, and just ahead of Israel. British defense and security exports grossed over $18.5 billion in 2014. Secretary Fallon, however, wants his country to be even more competitive in the global marketplace.
