Very good news. Mass production must start so quik as possible.
All the parts of the tank that are locally produced will benefit the domestic economy and every tank will create a hell of jobs.
A national tank (if it succeed) has almost a economy of his own, because there a so much different parts produced by different actors. It means money and jobs and more consumption.
A nation with a national tank is never doomed to fail in militairy way or economics (Israel, UK, USA, Russia, France, Germany, Korea).
