Complete nonsense
it is the same cope you continuously made since the beginning of the invasion of gaza.
the shortages that we did have were with the AVDS 1790 powerpack - specifically with transmissions due to wear. the powerpack the mk1 Namer and Merkava mk3 use, NOT the mk4.

since we planned to retire the mk3 and upgrade the existing Namers to the mk2 standard (which includes the MTU powerpack), the production of the older transmission was scaled down.
it since rose back up and the shortage was mostly remedied.

while i can't tell you the exact production figures now - because it's classified.
i can hint at it with public figures. early in the war masha delivered 85 heavily armored(Namer Mk2, Merkava mk4 and Eitan) vehicles in a month and a half.
and it stayed at well over a dozen a month.
there is a reason how each armored battalion was expanded to have an additional company.

PS: RENK Germany thing doesn't impact us much since the mechanical parts are produced under license by Ashot.
