Therefore technically it's legal to sell as there are no checks required, they can ban the sale to Iraq and Afghanistan using the "UK forces at risk" legal loophole. In practice they won't be exported anywhere else anyway, it's just a legal complexity.

Because "lives of UK forces" are at risk and only they needed to be protected by evil entrepreneur of UK. Evil what??? Does UK government as any morals? “The government has just banned the export of these devices to some countries on the grounds that they could put the lives of UK forces at risk, but they are still able to export to other countries.”
