I most certainly do.

So does your government, it seems. From the UK Defence Industrial Strategy: "We need to be assured that we can procure from a sustainable industrial base, that retains within the UK those industrial capabilities (including infrastructure, skills, intellectual property and capacity) that are required, from a national security perspective, to ensure our appropriate sovereignty."

The Dutch Defence - and the Dutch in general - seem to prefer to buy foreign materiel rather than from home-based companies.
Matter of fact is most if not all large companies in Holland are now owned by foreign companies.
Both my wife and I now work for two big French firms (my wife's company pension fund was already robbed empty).
British Steel merged with Koninklijke Hoogovens to form Corus. Corus was taken over last month by Tata Group from India.
I am now convinced the world is flat!
