There isn't subsystem in it that is too pricey right? (Like the turret for MT)
Hopefully we can order it in large number continuously. (Unlike the MT)

To replace complement M113.

Some Tukish twitter said this is purchase agreement.
Unfortunately this is still development agreement between Pindad and FNSS, no guarantee TNI will purchase it yet.

FNSS said it is being made for Indonesian Army and will be delivered in 2026, likely for testing & evaluation.
What is strange that both FNSS and Pindad (with FNSS asistance) will make the hull, the agreement now covers a more broaden ToT likely in preparation of MT production in Indonesia.

Harimau IFV variant???

I'm guessing that this armored vehicle is going to be unveil at Indo Defence 2024 in November.

SSE should test P8 Light tank soon, and expect show it @ IDEF 2024 to get order from TNI before Harimau/Kaplan APC born

I like if Pindad have competitor from private company, so their product will improve and better quality. next Republikorps will come to join the competition

Did they just flipped the LHD image horizontally?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most, if not all, LHDs and modern aircraft carriers have their superstructure built on the right side of the flight deck?

I guess.

By looking at the helos tail rotor the pic can be confirmed if flipped or not. Unfortunately pic quality too low for me.
