Indonesian Marines to possibly get Excalibur Army Kapa amphibious vehicles
Defense News July 2021 Global Security army industryPosted On Wednesday, 07 July 2021 16:30Mid-June 2021, photos appeared showing trials of the Kapa amphibious tracked vehicle carried out by Czech company Excalibur Army, Defense Studies reports. Actually, these trials were likely conducted at the Myslejovice Water Training Ground, Březina Military District, in 2020.

Kapa is needed as a tracked amphibious personnel and cargo carrier, possibly in two versions, thus. The prototype, whose scale model was apparently unveiled at IndoDefense 2016 exhibition, was previously introduced in mid-May 2020. The first prototype has the following specifications as stated on the Valka website: empty weight 20,000 kg ; maximum payload: 13,000 kg or 72 passengers ; cargo space of 7,800 x 2,800 mm ; maximum gross weight: 33,000 kg ; crew: 2 people ; size L-L-T (m): 10.5-3.3-3.1 ; ground clearance: 43 cm ; engine: Tatra diesel 390 kw ; maximum road speed: 40 km/h ; maximum speed on water: 11 km/h ; maximum slope gradient : 27° ; trench crossing : 2.50 m ; vertical obstacle : 0.65 m.
The Indonesian Marine Corps (Marinirs) has received a budget allocation for the purchase of 54 tracked amphibious transport vehicles worth USD 398 million to be spent until 2024. The number of vehicles is 54 units for 3 Marines or 18 units per PasMar. 18 is the number of towed howitzer units in 1 Marine Howitzer Battalion consisting of 3 batteries. Kapa will be used to carry howitzers from ship to shore in an amphibious operation.
The Marine Corps currently operates two types of amphibious artillery-carrying vehicles, namely the PTS-10 and K-61 types, both types needing to be replaced. Excalibur Army’s Kapa is a contender for this replacement.

Excerpts.
"On its face, the deal, signed during a visit to Tokyo by the Indonesian foreign and defense ministers for “2+2” talks with their Japanese counterparts, is certainly noteworthy. It could reportedly lead to the transfer of eight Japanese Mogami-class multimission frigates to the Indonesian navy, a deal worth up to $3.6 billion. Under a provisional plan, Japan would deliver four of the 3,900-ton frigates beginning in late 2023 or early 2024, with the other four slated to be built at the Indonesian state-run firm PT PAL’s shipyard in the port city of Surabaya."

This one of the most massive Naval building in the region (ASEAN and OCEANIA) if materialized properly and on time, we would only slightly behind the Australian Navy Naval build up

I am afraid PT PAL will be extremely busy and will not be able to finish all the load. It is better to spread the job to other shipyards.

I'd even say we could match or slightly pass RAN if the projects are able to be executed in time and on budget. As things stand, several RAN major project is at risk of overtime and over budget (last I heard the CEAFAR is still too heavy for Type 26, and the Attack class sub still haven't left the drawing board)

Mayybeee? In terms of hulls and tonnage(including the other project that is still unconfirmed), but how about cost/budget?
The only confirmed project is FREMM and the other is still uncertain, we can only speculate.

I hope so, we are too have many drawback the most severe ones is budget availability, second is curve time of PT PAL and other local shipyard to build complex warships still untested (this including production management, logistic management and legal procedure to proceed such complex projects) not included other factor like pandemic situation and potential conflict in South China Sea.
The existence of major surface combatant warships like FREMM, Itver Huitveld class, Mogami class and OPV 90 would alleviate severe imbalance between Indonesia and a distinct Country from the North
