  1.  @saltyaussie7702  The Thales company is based in France and is partilly owned by the French Government. It has manufacturing plants in over 60 nations including Maryland USA and a global workforce of over 80,000. The Queensland service centre is at Eagle Farm, Brisbane where final preparation for service in Ukraine is done.

  5. Is that Ti alloyed steel or pure Ti? The BisAlloy steel they are made from already contains Chromium, Molybdenum and a level of Boron for tensile strength and hardenability.
