I think that the funding that was needed may have been approved with an expansionist Soviet Union especially once they invaded China - would have time for throw buckets of money at the military time.
Thats similar to the issue with the M8 AGS - cancelled in our time line because they needed the money to support ops in Kosovo.
But in V1 and V2.2 - 100% percent going into production once the Soviets went into China
