Actually there is a lot, many Countries depends their armored vehicle manufacturing process toward their local automotive industries. Much complex automotive industries they had the more little chance their dependencies toward foreign supplier. Take Korean examples, they being known to have matured ground forces defense industry manufacturer like Daewoo, Doosan and Hyundai Rotem all of them had civillian automotive industries to backing their expertise in vehicle manufacturing. Like their Blackfox 6X6/8X8 APC most parts is sourced from their local automotive supplier starting from transmision, gear box, Engine, chasis, shield window, carburator etc. The more highly advance automotive industry your country had will led you toward Automotive culture and in turn will led your country toward the abundance of human resources who is able and knowing enough about their stuff like repairing vehicles and made them working all the times with little training and introduction efforts.
Just Another example, my Country PT PINDAD just starting to manufacturing armored vehicle just in decade or so and we had smooth progress in this field thanks to the abundance of human resources in this field we had. PT PINDAD also outsourcing many components the vehicles they made toward Privates companies to made speedy their production rates and safe the effort to assembly process. Well actually we are starting to progressing toward much more complex vehicle than the usual APC and tactical vehicle. We are starting to made tanks and IFV, indigenously with some foreign help at the start.
