    It's unclear if Anoa 3 (indigenous not VAB mk 3 Rebadge) will continue. If what this twt was (or still) true [image is spoilered btw, must click on the link if you want to see] From previous "hearsay" the VAB rebadge would not be continued. This picture is the indigenous design, not VAB...

    It is using the same platform as French Serval (using Texelis Celeris), with a similar protection level too. The Serval afaik is not classified as an MRAP but did have mine blast protection lv 2 to 4. However, it does have a V hull, just hidden behind storage boxes like Bushmaster / Sanca. US...

    Not whataboutism, but historiography. Historiography is different from history. Historiography talks about how the history itself is formed, or "approach to history". It's like investigation about historical "facts" or data itself: Who is this Brawijaya? Who is this Malahayati? What is the...

    I doubt they even know about that. Even if they knew, I doubt they even care to change the name. We also have other fictional characters in our ship naming, KRI Hang Tuah and KRI Malahayati. Hang Tuah is a fictional character, his story and feats is partly based on the true story of Admiral Abd...

    Belharra's bow and overall hull design is good for littoral seas with no big waves. It cuts through waves rather than riding it. The downside is that they should prepare to "get wet" if big waves are present, which could damage paint and equipment (bonus point if they don't have a forward...

    I feel like there's more to it than what's claimed here. The comparison is not apple-to-apple, they should tested it in a same platform (painted Anoa vs regular Anoa). Badak is larger than Anoa and has more curves and angles to deflect radar waves and return it to the sender. What is the control...

    Local equivalent of Mungo ESK? Mungo is pretty small Edit: The spec sheet seems to refer to a MRAP-like vehicle on the background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mungo_ESK

    Okay... So what's the problem on this one? In case of Toyota, Pindad did not ask permission to market their "carosserie" product to civilian, but Pindad already marketed them. Of course the permission isn't granted.

    Compare it with Windu Paramarta's (Harimau's lead engineer) model from 6 years ago (November 2018) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpyH1DIh5YnZeIXvsr2iQ6oXnpAhD2gm2oSnuA0/?epik=dj0yJnU9eW9qT1drb2Ezd0F4NUV5ajR5SG5pZmV6Z0FlaDBwRjUmcD0wJm49ZGQ1Nlp6TkJZaFVMYUNsQWFnYnYyQSZ0PUFBQUFBR2NvRmcw

    I wonder where they got the 70% local content from? They took engine, transmission, electrics, dashboard, floor, undercarriage whole from the foreign car. I suspect the local content (TKDN), after getting checked by authorities, would fall to about 35%. Pindad Komodo was claimed to have 80%...

    It's a graphic design by a man (also in instagram I think). He also made other imaginary Indonesian military equipment, such as wheeled and tracked IFVs, alternate medium tank, MBT, aircraft, stealth aircraft, and even ships (including aircraft carrier and destroyer). Seriously he is very...

    Indonesian-made camo made by PT Jala Berikat Nusantara / J-Forces I wonder if this camo was just for special occasion like this, or soon to be standardized?

    Small-sized locally made missile (there said to be made without foreign help), probably the same class as Çakır ?

    Yeah we are 5 years (even more) late on that, particularly because of the "five years without Defence Minister" during Mlyn's first reign
