  "account": "Düsseldorf - The arms firm Rheinmetall is making a push in the United States to bid for a $45 billion contract for a successor to the M2 Bradley armored personnel carrier. American Rheinmetall, the US subsidiary, has delivered the first prototype of the Lynx XM30 armored vehicle to the US Army, Rheinmetall announced on Tuesday. Seven more prototypes are expected to follow.\n\nMatt Warnick, CEO of American Rheinmetall, said the Lynx team now has the opportunity to demonstrate to the army that they can fulfill the promise of a modern successor to the Bradley. Rheinmetall operates several factories in the United States, which is the world's largest arms market. This gives the company production capacity in the United States, something the US government highly values. The Düsseldorf-based firm is also collaborating with several US companies, including defense contractor Lockheed Martin.\n\nThe project for a successor to the Bradley could reportedly involve around 4,000 tanks and could generate more than $45 billion in revenue. Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger has repeatedly emphasized that he is investing in growth in the United States.",
