Defence giant BAE Systems is to close three factories in the UK, resulting in the loss of 500 jobs.
The sites at Telford, Leeds and Guildford will close by the end of the year. It will also cut jobs at locations in Newcastle and Barrow.
It comes on the day that the UK formally ends its military presence in Iraq after six years.
The cuts are in its combat vehicles and weapons unit. BAE previously announced it would cut 200 jobs in November.
