so its an "Enhanced manually operated gun", kinda weird why yugoimport provide this kind of system an not just developed a fully optional Remote - Manually controlled weapon system.
Well, if you look at their naval portfolios this gun most likely intended to be used as main gun for small riverine/littoral vessel where fully remote controlled weapon system either too bulky or complex to be put into such cramped space.

OTOH it create a niche product for those who are too 'cheap' to add fully remote controlled weapon system as secondary gun on their capital ship and still believe manually-operated gun are legit anti-air weapon system in 21st century. /s

either this new variants does not bear any 3rd party FCR then we can assume their target acquisition only rely on electro optical camera that were included with bofors 57mm or the 3rd party electro optical fire control such as terma C-Fire EO.

too bad, but can't complain either, especially with tight budget, the C-Fire REO was much more better FC system combined with 57mm for aerial target especially if navy decide to equipped them with 3P Ammunition or guided 57mm munition.
Looks like the C-Fire EO Is located at the lower part of the mast as seen in this screenshot taken from Indonesia Defense Magazine Instagram video.

Guess that during the launching the C-Fire EO isn't installed yet. But we can see the mounting from this screenshot.

Riachuelo variant? Cius?
The bigger variant is preferred compared to smaller one or standard?
We are expecting longer endurance than the standard variant which being used by chilean, or malaysian scorpene.

It's still something that still offering state right?
Yes, FNSS CEO himself told in an interview he doesn't expect a progress in short ternm in ZAHA export but it is on the table.
Likely they are waiting to see how Medium Tank will conclude.

Can you share the link of the interview, please? Or perhaps some more important points related to this project? I'm currently writing an article about it because it looks promising but if there's still no concrete plan about it yet, I may choose another topic to write about.

Thanks in advance 😊🙏🏼

Unfortunately in Turkish. From 6.30 he exactly says;
"Indonesia was among the countries with an interest on ZAHA, their flexible configuration and adoption of design to their needs has attracted them. Again it can be accomplished with a joint production with PT PINDAD but it won't be very soon 'like 3-5 months' ", so he refers to 1-3 years from 9 months ago.
