And seeing as how a lot of countries don't have copyright laws, they copy a design and manufacture it under a different name when the difference in one vehicle to the next is barely noticeable. Look at the Stryker, Mowag Piranha and the Marine LAV. Outside they are basically the same, but inside the electronics are different. It's not like the old days when you could tell a T-62/T-72 by it's teacup turret and external fuel tanks and with globalization, everyone is selling everyone else the vehicles they have.
