It is the howitzer,but what I didn't know was hanwha will spend approx $170m on a facility at avalon to produce the howitzer vehicle.ie same as what rheinmetall spent in ipswich.
They went on to say the can expand the facility relatively easily if they win the IFV contract ,thats the $10b plus contract.
For me what i found interesting were the comments by memory from morrison today of the close 'asian' connection between Sth Korea and Australia and other asian countries.
Rheinmetal has imo supported Australia but at the end of the day they r Europe sry part of europe so hanwha has that advantage imo.If not for this comment i would have thought rheinmetall lynx would win.
Both co's r promising everything,but u can't take a promise to the bank.
ps last i heard dutton mumbled something about a IFV decision in sept.? hmm if correct i don't understand delay.
ps rheinmetall has released a mk 2 version of the lance turret ,good luck picking the winner.
ps i wonder if eos has offered rheinmetall their optics for the lance turret or are the eos optics only being offered with the eos turret and not the hanwha or rheinmetall turret.?
