Indonesia is considering the procurement of Turkey-made UAVs as well as setting up a joint project to design and produce UAV with Turkey in the future.
On Jan. 30, Indonesia allocated up to IDR175 billion or about US$12.2 million to procure a number of combat-capable UAVs (UCAVs) for the Indonesian Army (TNI-AD). No further details have been released.
“Indonesia is also developing its own UAV, but we are also discussing the possibility of obtaining UAVs from Turkey.” Indonesian Ambassador for Turkey, Dr. Lalu Muhammad Iqbal, said in a recent interview with SavunmaTR. “We hope that the cooperation will not only supply UAVs, but also result in technology transfer for different UAV types in the future.” he added.
Following the success of Turkish UAV operations during the Nagorno-Karabakh war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020, Indonesian military (TNI) expressed an interest in acquiring Turkey-made UAVs. According to sources, Baykar’s Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar Akıncı are the most likely candidates.
Apart from locally made UAVs, TNI also has been operating a mix of Israeli, American and Chinese-made UAVs and UCAVs for the past decade. The Chinese CH-4B is the only combat-capable drone that is currently being operated by the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU). Indonesia is also pursuing its own UCAV program with the “Elang Hitam” project, with the first flight expected this year.

Better late than never, what's the reason we are abandoning plan to cooperate with Turkey back then?

Do you think TNI will add APS to Harimau and Leopard after witnessing the massacred Russian tank by ATGM?
They should be considering it seriously . It's just ... I don't know . Do we ever have enough money to purchase it . Between numbers and " accesories " . We all knows where our limited money would eventually go anyway ...

I'm a pessimist afterall ...

They should be thinking that way. Whether they actually do and that there will be efforts to equip our AFVs with APS are another matters, though.

Well even if you have aps, with traffic jam blocking your way like situation that Russia face in Ukraine it wont help to much. How many times you think those aps can counter RPG attack that came from all side. Ukraine know very well their advantage, Snow and highway. It good enough to slow down enemy tank. Its another masterpiece of guerilla tactics, same horror like what russia was faced in mountain of Afghanistan.

The design is okay, any more info about the truck?

I wonder if its inspired from Astros.

Yup, more choices for different scenario. Make it like astros not like grad.

What scenario? This kind of weapon always perfect to leveling enemies Cities or hit the enemies formation or convoy

he probably meant like astros or himars which can use multitude choice of calibre and rocket option, not just stuck in one type of calibre like that russian MLRS.

I hope that it won't just end up as a prototype.

i honestly thankful that pindad finally decide to design a platform with high ground clearance, big tires, and an elevated cabin, it give the "this thing are military vehicle/GARANG" energy and vibes emanating from it, compared to this previous abomination lmao.
