Ewere,

I think that the management/board has made some mistakes over time, including spending too much time in engineering (back in the MOD days) and not getting ready early enough to begin the long sales cycle. The current management/board got lumped with a company in appalling shape. I think they've done the best with wjhat they got stuck with, perhaps with the Philippine fiasco the exception, but again, they were backed into a corner.

Now, the Aust gov't & it's procurement process....Australia seems to believe the only good product it can produce is sportsmen & women. If China had produced this, it would be for sale and taken up by their own miliary first and then everyone else would take it up too and MST China would have made billions already. Our pollies are a buch of self serving thieves, who have no regard for the people they serve, except where it will get them re-elected. But that is not going to change fast.

We (MST) have to market to them, but don't count on anything, until MST don't need them anymore.
