Just read that MY people were furious about the markup in TDM / ATM vehicle procurement. Deftech AV4 Lipanbara (Chaiseri First Win MRAP) costs 1.66 million USD, while buying straight from Thailand the cost would be only 1/3 of that (about 550k USD)...

- Boomer comes in - The design became (comparatively) bad due to suggestion (the sale is at stake because Pindad relied on domestic purchasing, not export) I was hopping the boxy appearance was handled nicely like NIMR Jais 6x6. I wonder why Pindad cannot design a good 6x6 vehicle with mirror...

If we can "farm" it, that can be our service/standard Stand-off Weapon like JSOW, Small Diameter Bomb, or JDAM-ER. Edit: I just realized that the standard JDAM isn't a glide bomb, just a smart bomb without wing, hence shorter range.

Mbandingin KF-21 dengan KAAN itu gak masuk akal, yang satu gen 4.5, yang satu gen 5. Perbandingannya jadi tidak apple to apple, malah apple to orange. Kalau mau bandingkan KAAN, harusnya bandingkan dengan rencana akuisisi SU-57, J-Siluman atau F-35. Kalau yang dipermasalahkan dana / duit, ya...

Probably the new MRAP by J-Forces

This one is a straight up rebranded 大力牛魔王 "Dali Niu Mowang" D05 or Derry Neomor D05 https://www.neomor-ev.com/D05.html MAB as a company is sus to me. They declared themselves as Mobil Anak Bangsa (Nation's car), but if you reverse image search their products on Baidu dot com, you can see it's...

It's a modified / rebranded Chinese car, BAW Yongshi (Brave Warrior) BJ2022 or BJ2036. The vehicle can be bought from China already manufactured with Right-hand drive (though it is originally left-). A noticeable part can be seen in the antennae position, which still retains left-hand position...

The answer of that is : Well yes, but actually no KRI Bung Hatta is different enough in size and shape to be its own class.

Menanti ada higher ups yang tadinya celingukan terus ngeluarin statement "kita dukung animasi Indonesia" atau lebih parah lagi nampilin muka diposter seakan dia dari dulu ngedukung animasi Indonesia

The unmanned version of Cockerill 3030 did not have hull-penetrating bucket like 3105. It only need control console under hull. However, the MANNED version of 3030 did have bucket like Cockerill 3105.

I wonder what's the local content here? Paint? Why Pindad is the supplier?

It's rebadged Gurkha by Force Motors (India) from Indo Defence 2022. There is already plan to produce it locally, but since there is no more news since 2022, I think it is unlikely to do a local production unless there's a massive order like the Maung. The engine is using German Mercy, so not...

The V-hull of SSE's P2 VVIP Many of the modern MRAP have a trapezoid V–hull because it protected the driveshaft / transmission shaft. Sharp v-hull can be made but it will make the hull very high as a trade-off, or if lower hull is desired, the sloping angle won't be too great. Kozak 2M...

Manufacturing process of TAD Turangga The V–hull can be seen In the Tugasanda's video, the Turangga is stated to have STANAG level 2B+ mine protection Turangga's driveshaft is located outside the hull (not protected by armoring) like Casspir. Modern MRAP usually has its driveshaft...
