But what I know from the defense industry in general is that the price scales with reliability of the customer. The developement and other fees scale with the likelyhood of the customer canceling. This way they try to minimise losses or even make a profit regardless if the deal evaporates.
Since the UK have a pretty bad reputation as defense customer its not supprising that they are charged a premium. The UK is not alone in this. The German government also has to pay for their past mistakes.
The German defense industry can produce. They are running at full capacity... Just not for the UK (or Germany). The last big orders came from other countries and the orders are worked off one after the other. This also is a significant problem for the 100 billion program here. Since the industry will not increase capacity or hire more workers without binding assurance that there will be long term demand. Without this they will work the orders off one after the other so they get a mid and long term perspective.
Several European governments left so much scorched earth in the defense sector they won't be trusted anymore.

собственно вопрос - а сущесвтуют ли в природе какие-нибудь книжки на тему развития оборонных программ, их обломов и все такое прочее?
Интересуют именно документальные вещи, про фильм "Pentagon games" я в курсе :)
