Considering we're only paying €50 million how much of a rebuild can that pay for?

Folks,
For those of us who have IKON. It's all there.
For those who don't, sorry but the exact details are not for public discussion just yet.However lets just say that with the upgrade the only original parts will be the hulls.
The new,old, cars will be a massive improvement and will greatly enhance the situational awareness and force protection of the crews and dismounts![]()
"Let us be clear about three facts:First of all.All battles and all wars are won in the end by the Infantryman.Secondly the Infantryman bears the brunt of the fighting,his casualties are heavier and he suffers greater extremes of fatigue and discomfort than the other arms.Thirdly,the art of the Infantryman is less stereotyped and harder to acquire than that of any other arm".
-- Field Marshall Earl Wavell.1948
I see the CoS posted some photos of the Mowag upgrades on twitter earlier. The "minister" and he are in Switzerland visiting GD Land systems.
Earlier this week they were visiting Pilatus.

German 1: Private Schnutz, I have bad news for you.
German 2: Private? I am a general!
German 1: That is the bad news.
It certainly appears to be. In fact it looks very much like the version seen recently at Eurostatory, with a Javelin mount alongside the main gun armament.

How is that Javelin and gun and optics protected from the elements?
The new Dual RWS is for 12.7 HMG and 7.62 MAG, giving the same firepower as the old turret its replacing.
