In BMI's view, Western airstrikes against Libya seem to lack a coherent political strategy, which suggests that Qadhafi can sit out the storm, unless his closest allies betray him, or he is killed in an airstrike. Even if Qadhafi is removed, Libya will remain vulnerable to prolonged instability, and possibly civil war. The lack of clarity in the West's political strategy could mitigate the mission's successes, should there be any. The US's engagement in Libya is likely to run up considerable costs, though at present they pale in comparison to those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments estimates that the enforcement of the no-fly zone in Libya could cost between US$100m to US$300m per week to enforce, AP reported in March. If the operation is relatively short, it is understood that the Pentagon could cover costs from its own budget, but a prolonged war would push up costs considerably. ------------------------------------------------------------ Full Report Details at - http://www.fastmr.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ In March 2011, Boeing was awarded the US$3.5bn contract for the construction, design and development of new tankers, as reported by Zack's. It is expected to deliver 18 combat ready units by 2017. Over the longer term, the Air Force aims to replace 179 of the 400 currently operating KC-135 tankers, with contracts worth upwards of $30bn. Notably, the KC-46A will also help support around 50,000 US-based jobs with Boeing, as well as more than 800 suppliers across the country, at a time in which the defence industry is adjusting to lower spending growth rates domestically. The US government is still looking into reforming regulations on defence exports in order to boost sales overseas while protecting strategically important technology. The changes would seek to consolidate the multi-layered bureaucracy associated with defence exports, and the move has been strongly supported by the defence industry and advocates of the sector, who wish to see export growth to offset losses from reined in domestic spending. It remains to be seen to what extent exports can take up the slack caused by constrained domestic spending - exports have averaged an equivalent of 23% of US military procurement since 1970 - foreign sales are seen as increasingly important. While critics point out that many other countries are scaling back spending, emerging markets, particularly in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, are investing heavily in defence, creating opportunities that are readily being seized by other major defence exporters such as France, the UK and China.
