Doesn't take much (if any) of technical efforts to see WHO is WHAT around here aren't they
I believe No need to use your intelegence network to "mengarungi" every 🇮🇩 member here.

Anyhow, because missinterpretation of knowledge we think every arabic word (or sound) is a sacred scripture. Just like we interprete 🇨🇳 and USSR peope (and its culture) belongs to PK I(communist) realm.

IDEF 2021: FNSS hails Kaplan MT progress​


18th August 2021 - 13:30 GMT | by The Shephard News Team

FNSS displays production version of Kaplan Medium Tank for Indonesia, where it is known as Harimau.

FNSS exhibited a serial production version of its Kaplan Medium Tank (MT) at the IDEF defence exhibition in Istanbul on 17-20 August, claiming that the ‘design perfection process… is completed’ for the Indonesian Army as the launch customer.

The Kaplan MT as showcased at IDEF features a number of differences from the original prototype, including a redesigned front end and a relocated driver position.

Under the terms of a contract with FNSS, Indonesian manufacturer PT Pindad is producing most of the tanks (known as Harimau in Indonesian service) under licence.

Indonesia expects to receive a first batch of 18 Kaplan MTs by the end of 2021. A total of 52 more will be procured in 2022, followed by 19 in 2023 and 17 in 2024.

Kaplan MT is the first Turkish-designed medium tank to be export, and the first deliverable from defence industry cooperation agreements between Indonesia and Turkey.

I think it's still possible although I'm not sure how much it will cost the tank in term of weight and internal ammunition capacity.

Slightly OT, why oh why "kreditcepat [dot] org" appears as the first result when I searched for "Cockerill 120 mm"? I would prefer to buy in cash rather than to pay in installment :rolleyes: 😝

Anyway, I usually have some reservations anytime we became the first export customer for any military hardwares. But I make an exception for this, especially considering that even though the tank is the first tank export of FNSS, but this was developed with our army's specifications and requirements in mind.
Not an export but cooperative project.
IP rights are shared, thus hard to call it an "export" :)

what surprising are (i) the surprise from the end users and (ii) the rampant narratives that in short says Pindad and FNSS produced a flawed tank design, when it is actually based on the inputs from the end users
User give the requirements list, the company make the design.

The good thing about splitting it to several batch, there will be incremental improvement for each batch (need new contract and new price tho) compared to bulk order.

We could order more in the future.

This was the old news from the Sekjen Kemhan at that time (2 years ago)
