Now, for reasons of pride, politics and profit, the Continent is gradually developing its own defense industry. Though modest compared with the huge $53.7 billion U.S. defense budget, the European arms industry is already big enough to be taken seriously, particularly at a moment when Europe is feeling the slows in other economic areas...
