That's the problem with outsourcing to defense companies. They'll eventually end up owned by your competitors.
Just like the US backed most critical German companies in the 30s to be able to get rid of the French in the Rheinland and attack Russia. They had a majority in IG Farben eg. and gave them the artificial Diesel patents. Which brought the Nazis to power and then they turned around and attacked the US.
I'm not sure how much of their critical companies, like for their airplanes, rockets, intelligence (Booz Allen Hamilton) which are all publicly traded are in fact controlled by Saudi-Qatari or Chinese investors now. Is there some overview?
