Dessert DPM, our peacekeepers have been using it for years, including those in LebanonWhat uniform was that? I thought our soldiers over there still used their regular DPM camo uniform?
Nah, the ammo slated to 22 roundsOur Army love auto loader, don't they?
22 ready to fire, 18 should be in hull. Yes its 2 less ammo than Leopard 2. But 4 more in ready to fire condition.Nah, the ammo slated to 22 rounds
L55A1 should be retrofitted to the Leo 2 in its mid life upgrade. So does new engine (MTU 883) and new optics.Our Army love auto loader, don't they?
Nah, you didn't need newer gun. 120mm/L44 still enough to punch through any SEA MBT other than Leo 2. what you need is an AMAP upgrade for all Leo2, with upgrade for sighting. independence thermal and NV for gunner and commander that is mandatory. I don't know many but look from its appearance ID Leo2 mostly still use second gen thermal and Night vision with the gunner sharing its view along with commander. except you want to push in urban warfare you will need RCWS and APS.L55A1 should be retrofitted to the Leo 2 in its mid life upgrade.

T90?SEA MBT other than Leo 2
For SEA engagement range, yeah.T90?
You know that Russia like to named each of its prototype with new name despite have commonality with existing stuff, named it Mi 8/17, Su-27/30/35/37, T-54/55, Mig 29/35 ?T90?

for engine ? as long as its reliable it didn't need any upgrade, since the best doctrine I've learned for tanks is the combined arms of, air recon(and attack), infantry, and battle taxi; one that German do back then in Eastern front.
In the past, during the presidential debate with Pak Prabowo, Pak Jokowi emphasized the importance of UCAV / DRONE rather than buying tanks and others but now it's the opposite, btw tiger tanks are $ 7 m more expensive than TB2 $ 5 mIf the Army got their own UCAV in the class of Reaper or TB2 Bayraktar great chance they would be under Puspenerbad command, for the small recce type UAV they would be under Dishubad just like what happened today.
I just doesn't know if the Army got their own loitering munition, logically this should be under artillery Forces command as they have more experience and equipment for long range recon and targeting strike
Only SEA ?Nah, you didn't need newer gun. 120mm/L44 still enough to punch through any SEA MBT other than Leo 2.
all of which need additional power to cope with the increase in weight and power generating.what you need is an AMAP upgrade for all Leo2, with upgrade for sighting. independence thermal and NV for gunner and commander that is mandatory.

Buy K2 or L55 Leo thenThe current L44 + DM53 combo wont cut for any longer if everyone around is upgrading their armor fleet
Even better. 103 MBT is too low of a number, might add another 100 Leo2A7 with L55A1 to equip another 2 battalionBuy K2 or L55 Leo then
