This Harimau/Kaplan APC supposedly replacing AMX13 VCI.



However just like Harimau MT (Medium Tank) variance, it is doubtful the production run can replace them all soon (or even they can replace them all). For that retrofit version like the picture above seems going to be comtinue produce as well. It is been circulate it will use Cummins Dongfeng engines replacing Navistar engines from previous Retrofit batches.

The ships from TNI-AD do not come often in the news, so this is an opportunity for us to take a closer look.
ADRI-LII has left the harbour last week for Sumatra to supply mineral water, food, medicines and heavy equipment for natural disaster relief.

Two interesting videos about the construction of an emergency bridge in Sumatra.

Something else, for a couple of years there are plans to create a civil version of the Pindad Maung, but until now the car is only built and delivered for the armed forces, police and ministers. According to this video (with footages of foreign cars which had nothing to do with Pindad), Pindad is now preparing to build a factory/assembly plant in Subang, north of Bandung. The idea is that starting from 2028 the facility is ready to build 100.000 cars each year, with eventually an output of 500.000 cars a year. Personally i think this is overoptimistic and totally impossible, thinhs like this will maybe take a decade, specially in places like Indonesia.
