Welsh Secretary Peter Hain has confirmed that 550 jobs will be lost at the Defence Aviation Repair Agency (Dara) in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Mr Hain told MPs that a £77m project for the St Athan site - Project Red Dragon - would still go ahead and that the centre, which specialises in military repairs, had a secure future.
But a trade union said the announcement was a tragedy.
Local MP John Smith and nearby villagers said it was a blow to the south Wales economy as a whole.
