Secondhand military Market.
Most of the worlds military forces have to decommission their stock after a number of years and these end up in storage. So begins the journey of a Newer Life for this equipment, refurbished and checked with perhaps a new paint scheme they are sold on to whoever the government permit them to go to.
U.S. machines have ended up in Afghanistan, the Balkans and Iraq, Meanwhile British vehicles are sold world-wide to both other military and also to missionary agencies. France, Germany, Spain and Italy follow suit.
Vehicles from Land rovers, Unimogs, trucks are the versatile types to sell on to both civil and military usage? MBT, armoured cars ARV's go along with artillery to developing countries. The sale of older type helicopters and training aircraft is very popular. The life span of most machines, with re-fits may be endless?
Aircraft are a different subject, after withdrawal they have a limited time because of wing fatigue which is hard to detect and expensive to repair. The training jets such as BAE Hawks and French Alpha jets have done well.
