shep854 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) What Bojan said...from the imagery I've seen, there's no way an M2 receiver would fit into the bog's hole...well, an M85 maybe. 😛  Edited June 28, 2021 by shep854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chino Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (Please delete if this is already posted as this is rather old news) The PINDAD HARIMAU HITAM (or Kaplan as Turkey calls it) HARIMAU - Bahasa Indonesia for Tiger HITAM - Black What a gorgeous vehicle. Just when everyone is building heavy tracked tanks or lighter wheeled tanks, Turkey goes and build this beauty for Indonesia. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojan Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) More technical things: - SISU suspension, Allison transmission, Caterpillar engine, Israeli add-on armor, supposedly same as they are using for their Eitan. Class 5/3 front/sides naked Class 6/4 front/sides with add-on Class 6/5 front/sides in the future. 57mm module is one of the options for armament, others are 30mm Russian and Israeli RWS (not specified which ones).

alejandro_ Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Bojan, do you know if this vehicle is designed for Army of Serbia or mainly for export? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojan Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Export. Army has interest in following troop transport vehicles (at least had some 10 years ago): 4x4 lightly armored vehicle (done) 6x6 APC (never-ending story) MRAP (in final development) Tracked IFV (not going to happen anytime soon) Some 15-16 years ago wheeled IFV lobby tried to paddle BTR-90 or Patria for "peacekeeping missions", but that went nowhere, as BTR-90 was not accepted to a Russian army and Patria was too expensive for the performances. *There was some interest in acquiring ~80 BMP-3 in 2007. but WEC 2008. put a stop to that idea, through even w/o WEC it was questionable if it would be adopted as army was very critical about lack of the normal rear exit. Used ex-Swedish CV9040 were also considered at about same point, but again came to nothing.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandro_ Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Very interesting, thanks. I am surprised Arzamas did not flag up Serbia's interest when BTR-90 was cancelled. In any case, it has the same problem as BMP-3 (lack of rear exit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote In any case, it has the same problem as BMP-3 (lack of rear exit). At that moment requirements for wheeled vehicles were different from tracked ones, and no full rear exit was required.
