Well,...


But in a way, I'm actually feeling good if we're really be like an "invisible giant" (which is actually impossible to ignore for the countries around us especially in the region). It's their loss if they're not aware of us while we're just minding our own business.
Good point (y) It's much better for 🇮🇩 to stay below the radar, while our diplomats should actively be lobbying world power for anything that could benefit us without the hazzle of being scrutinized by their public opinion

Excerpts.

"It is reported that the improvements have affected all key units and systems of the armored vehicle. Thus, the hull design has been redesigned in comparison with prototypes to obtain some advantages. The power plant and transmission were improved, as well as the cooling system - in accordance with operation in hot climates. The undercarriage provides improved flotation in typical Indonesian terrain.

The department of management has been seriously revised, incl. with a change in the design of the upper frontal part of the body. Now, above the driver's seat, there is a low superstructure with periscopes designed for use on the march and in a combat situation. The ergonomics of the workplace and controls have also been changed. Changes to the two-seater fighting compartment are also aimed at improving the convenience of work."

Flotation? It's amphibious?

Army fast interceptor Boats keep laying ceremony. They are for swamp, beach and river units. Especially very useful in Maluku Islands region, Borneo and Eastern Sumatra region.

What type of pandur 2 is that? Engineering? I hardly see anything related to it
Pandur II TCVA, Pandur II APC with flotation kit and raised exhaust pipe for improved river crossing capability. Support vehicle for M3I amphibious rig. IINM.

Lets hope either Mercedez or Tatra will build their production factory in Indonesia soon.

Wanaherang facility is already assembling CKD kits of commercial spec Mercedes trucks, though from what i know it's the cheaper Indian-made trucks, not the European-made

I also recall that TNI does all military truck orders directly to Mercedes Stuttgart and never to it's subsidiary in Indonesia, we only provide with maintenance support, spare parts ordering and modifications

Their reasoning was because it's military-spec hence they always order it to head office

The advantage Harimau over Leo is better FCS and hunter-killer capabilities.

I bet its IR also better too, hence better night fighting capabilities.
