Update on this: It looks like they also included 10 units Pandur with 105 mm gun (similar to Pindad Cobra but with Israel cannon and Hitfact turret) in their first batch. If we assume it has the same price as our Cobra, it will be about 36 million USD in cost. So 172-36 = 136 million USD for 20...
It was probably shown first at Expo 2020 Dubai. From what I've learned SOE usually a bit late on posting their videos to Youtube. Pindad has videos on their MotoEV, MV2, and Maung that were shown Mandalika circuit but they haven't uploaded it in their social medias.
This is the reason why Texmaco, despite originally a textile manufacturer, could make its own engine.
The parts presented in the videos above are simple. But designing a working, feasible engine, as cheap as possible and with good power output is another thing.
Ever heard about Indonesians...
I'm assuming since they stated it is exceeding the speed of sound, the speed is not 650 km/h but 650 m/s (1.895 mach or 2340 km/h).
Diameter of 70 mm with 10 kg weight would make it similar to Polish Grom Missile, but we have no information about the warhead weight so far. Max range is also...
From this video, I noted that Badak costed 45 billion IDR, or 3.17 million USD per unit. Back in 2014 the cost is projected about 25 billion USD per vehicle or 2.18 million USD adjusted for inflation.
Hanwha Tarantula is about 3.95 million USD after adjusted for inflation.
It is also said that...

I wouldn't say that V-shape though, only SEMI V-shape (semi-angled hull). It doesn't look like Bushmaster or Casspir hull.
Well, since Pindad used Kozak 2M hull as parameter, it is no wonder they call it V-hull
Using the same reference, Badak should be V-hull
LAV with standard hull (which...
What's concerning here is that they did it WITHOUT combat (or even normal) condition. The hull is not fully completed, it only got 1 passenger seat placed. No sign of the exhaust, it means that it's probably engineless. The weapon cupola at the left side is absent too, and no weapon is equipped...
