Extract from their website follows:
EXPORTS
BAE Systems has export markets across the world. Its Hawk jets alone have been sold to Brunei, Indonesia, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, UAE and Zimbabwe. In the past year there has been angry reaction to the use of its Hawks in Aceh, to the sale of head-up displays for US-built F16s destined for Israel, and to the marketing of arms to India in the midst of conflict over Kashmir. It has also been the subject of allegations of bribery regarding deals with the Czech Republic, India and South Africa, and of UN allegations of sanctions busting to arm Zimbabwe. BAE Systems has denied both bribery and sanctions-busting allegations.
