With all these wheeled vehicles comming up, I had once said that this is one overcrowded market. Now I digged a little bit deeper to realize that its not Overcrowded per se. These companies are actually evolving to the signals they are getting from their respective governments as well western Defence Ministries. Tanks are bad, too expensive......replace them with Centaurs and APC's with big guns (105) and big'ish autocannons. Not realizing that at one point of time Canada scrapped all its tanks in favor of some 105mm APC hybrid. Then they had to get those german/dutch Leopard-2's. These companies are just catering to the direction of the current Political Wind.
