Anoa + RCWS is fine for low-intensity conflicts. But I hope that nobody in the top brass think that we don't need a proper IFV for the army just because of this.

With that said, I do think that Badak is still a "semi-proper" IFV with its low-pressure 90 mm cannon. It still needs more firepower in form of a 105 mm high-pressure main gun or a single/pair of 30-40 mm fast-firing cannon(s) with high enough maximum elevation so it can be effectively used in an urban warfare scenario, or to be deployed as a makeshift anti-aircraft/helicopter/drone solution.

Still curious about Anoa 3. Any new pics of Anoa 3? Construction of the first prototype should have been finished by now.

The Germany's Puma IFV or Lynx IFV would be best companion for Kaplan/Pindad's Black Tiger and , off course, the Leopards, creating a mighty "big cats" population in the army.

About FNSS Kaplan MT or Pindad Harimau:
LOL "not the taste of military officials"?
So, what Med Tank match their taste exactly?
Cv90 105?
That Kaplan MT (mk2) pretty much already ✔ all requirements you gave then you know...

Those would be for our Para Raiders airborne division, weasel can be air lifted and dropped by parachute to support the airborne operation.

And all Puma, Linx, Weasel are transportable by A-400 . 2 to 6 A-400 will be ours, right?

Isn't that just too old at this point?
And I noticed our army didn't bring or use them much to exercise.

New Record Range of CAESAR with Excalibur Artillery Projectiles​


20 Januari 2022

Raytheon Missiles & Defense’s Excalibur artillery projectile fired at record range from CAESAR howitzer

YUMA PROVING GROUND, Ariz. — Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies business, in partnership with the U.S. Army and French company Nexter successfully fired Excalibur artillery projectiles from a CAESAR self-propelled howitzer. The test proved compatibility between Excalibur, the U.S. Army’s Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) and CAESAR.

During the demonstration the CAESAR-fired Excalibur directly struck two targets at a distance of more than 46 kilometers, a record setting range from the gun system.

“Integration with CAESAR now adds a level of mobility to the long-range and proven precision of Excalibur, providing the U.S. Army and partner nations more flexibility for this advanced, versatile weapons system for contested environments,” said Sam Deneke, vice president of execution for Land Warfare & Air Defense at Raytheon Missiles & Defense. “This success highlights the interoperability of a French howitzer with a U.S. munition and offers our customers more options to deploy Excalibur artillery from a range of platforms.”

Building on previous compatibility tests, this demonstration marked an important milestone toward operational capability for Excalibur’s integration with CAESAR.

“Chosen by eight partner nations, CAESAR is arguably the most successful truck mounted artillery system available today,” said Thierry Soulat, program manager at Nexter. “This demonstration with Excalibur underscores CAESAR’s compatibility with NATO standards for both conventional and smart ammunition.”

The Excalibur projectile is a true precision weapon, impacting at a radial miss distance of less than two meters from the target, providing accurate first-round effects at all ranges in all weather conditions. With its GPS-guided capabilities and multiple fuze modes, it is already a premiere artillery option for multiple countries using the M777, M109 series, M198, the Archer, the PzH2000, and the SIAC systems. Initial assessments indicate likely compatibility with the AS90, K9 and G6 howitzers.
