I had posted on this many years back when I was pushing to get the
BAE APKWS/APKWS II in the game. Simply the
MBDA Guided ZUNI lost to BAE.
To the point that the rocket isn't even offered on the MBDA website. And there is a reason for this...
"MBDA has three major aerospace shareholders: Airbus (37.5%),
BAE Systems (37.5%), and Leonardo Finmeccanica (25%)."

Click on "
MBDA's Product Lineup" button Bottom/Center/Right.
You'll also note
MEADS is no longer listed as well.
It's all simple economics MBDA was a conglomerate formed based on international collaboration in part by BAE and many others in 2001 until only the three from above were "left standing" by "swallowing up" the other companies themselves by 2006.
They took out the
redundancy is all.
