I got a question. Why doesn't Altays side skirts reach to top level of the wheels?

Altay has a dual layer floor to mitigate mine and IED blasts. It's likely the actual floor of the hull is higher then what we can see, thus the crewman are sitting higher and require less side skirt for protection.

It's not only the crew that can be injured. A hit on the wheel chain can prevent by a side skirts. It doesn't cost much.

It would have cost $10 million in the 90's... with inflation, its justifiable for $14 million in todays money.

The number has a politic background, like most bids; if interested more, then please google the ''company'' owners and their politic relations.

If Greek ELVO can weld and assemble a Tank so can BMC.

I guess you would prefer to be in a Chery rather than a BMW in a car crash.
