Talking about DPM vs NKRI Camo

I think I have never seen the current P5 (which, as we know, always use PDL whenever he can) wearing the latter camo (CMIIW)

Based from this video of Pindad testing the new modified Kaplan MT (Harimau Tank). I assumed that Pindad already received delivery of some Harimau tanks. Or maybe Pindad built one themselve.

perhaps still in testing phase in pindad environtment.

We shall know, every bit of pindad progress by leaks or press release anytime soon. It's obvious that pindad regularly posting thier progress.

To poor this tank only recieve 105 mm, i hope they will install 120mm and design it as tank destroyer :'v
We will get there eventually . It's a long time journey and we are barely start to walking in after decades of neglects and corruptions .
Let's start with an actual working amphibious IFV class first before we aim to upgunning this platform .
I will be honest .... IMHO , Sprut SD's like class in weight , firepower and sea/air droppability would be highy appreciated in our harsh terrain .

is the hull or the turret strong enough for 120mm high / med pressure gun??
btw Pindad used to design the hull for this Harimau / Kaplan tank (old version), is this new hull also designed by Pindad?
any info?

Please this isn't Sherman firefly testbed wich remove recoil from the gun and make the tank absorb the recoil entirely 🤣

Its more to did the turret can hold the gun or not, offcourse you cant pick 120mm L44 from leo 2 and put it at the turret 🤣.
It will be a complete desing from the barrel, recoil, and gun turnion.

It is still possible to use 120 mm gun in Kaplan Medium tank as there is solution out there about light turret in built with 120 mm gun especially low recoil gun of 120 mm like what GIAT or Hitfact offered years ago.

But higher pressure rifle barrel of 105 mm gun offered by Cockerill is by no any means is bad. They already superior compared to original L7 rifle gun this gun based at and coupled them with the latest munition they are already quite lethal.

What his trying to say is ... High pressure gun were requires a total redesign/rebuilt of the harimau chassis . While low/med pressure were still within the tolerance level after some shock absorber modification .
Not to mention like @Madokafc have said the current gun was allready deadly enough for it's use
