Arab? Iraqi surely. (With a side-helping of Canadian design and embarassingly British manufacturing).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Babylon

Quality British engineering that!
And definitely based on a Canadian's design.

But someone should have told Sheffield Forgemasters their name wasn't meant to apply to the export license

Kinda crazy there was a dude running around offering to build any rogue state a James Bond worthy weapon of mass destruction just cause he thought they were neat.

"Honest Guv'!
Just a water pipe.
Nothing to see here.

Always thought after we impounded the thing, we ought to have built it.

It was Tammouz that got Bull capped—not this, right?

I don’t think Bull was personally involved in that, it was repurposed missile tech

Supposedly the "baby babbalon" (the 600 km ranged sub scale deminstrator lol) was tested but the full scale 1000km ranged regular babbalon wasn't completed. There were also plans for a super babbalon with a range of 1600km and/or stailite launch capability (and a bore of 48 inches wide).

What, so you could shell Paris or Berlin?

Well it would be nice to launch cheep satellites, and with the bonus of being able to shell most of the content what's not to love?
