Elbit again. Will we ever learn?
I don’t have a problem with Elbit. Having looked into this in some detail the “security concerns” around LAND 200 were total bullshit, but that didn’t stop Army smearing the company to cover up for their own project management failures. Not for the first, or last, time.
Who is making the track? Were is it getting made? I love the in-arm suspenson, heaps better than torsion bars, but again were is it getting made? Theses are high wear and tear items, we can not import these items.
The tracks are being supplied by Canadian company Soucy; I assume the suspension is from Hanwha, though some components are probably made in Australia.
