rrufff, Many of the questions you ask I can not answer. As you said it's a BB and the MM's stay all over it. I know what I posted and the marines and army want these vehicles. I know of no others as hardened as these. Seems like you've done a fair amount od DD already.
As for what goes to the bottom line, that can't be found until reported by any company. Maybe guidance but this is a start up and a gamble. I see it as a good risk. If you want the MM's gone you'll need to wait till they're off the BB and no longer a penny buy. Currently they're trying to ramp up production just to meet our military needs.
Lot of luck. No guarantees on these. Oh yes, South Africa just bends the steel. Manufacturing is done in Ladson, S.C. Trucks are Peterbuilt. Only engines and drive trains are used. Some of these questions you'll need to dig out on your own. I've spent my time, even flying there. Larry
