1 RCHA sends a round down range up North.

I think that it goes well above mere assembly but probably short of the manufacture of all components in Australia. There are a number of Australian and individual partner companies involved and it appears Australian production will figure into the global supply chain for the K9.

How about, it is enough to build a well equipped maintenance and repair shop that can assemble tanks from components and train maintainers concurrently?
