Will BMC produce Altay on its own, or with Rheinmetall help?

I dont think anyone here is a representative neither for BMC nor for Rheinmetall. Why dont you compose an e-mail and ask the same question to these companies? So that you can enlighten us..

Raising the same question over and over is boring.
