Indonesia's PT Pindad and FNSS Savunma Sistemleri of Turkey have revealed details of the Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) that the companies are partnering to develop.

Under the terms of this joint development programme, which started two years ago, two prototypes are being built, one in Indonesia and the other in Turkey, both of which are scheduled to be completed sometime in 2017. There will be one additional hull that will be used for ballistic and mine protection trials.

The main role of the MMWT will be to engage light and medium armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) such as reconnaissance platforms, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), armoured personnel carriers (APCs) and combat support vehicles, rather than tackling heavier, well-armed MBTs.

  2. jika bisa turret dilapisi tambahan utk meniminalkan ledakan hantaman rudal/roket terhadap turretnya.lebih miring lagi turret spt turret di ISRAEL yg melicinkan ledakan atau hantaman ke berbagai arah lain

  3. ohya protopye tank di jcc itu kok spt ketinggian. gak bisa direndahkan bodynya. model itu untuk hal2 tertentu, memerlukan keringanan, kelincahan, peningkatan speed itu kunci melolos diri dari serangan rudal/roket..

    1. Well it does look like Kaplan 20 and it's a bit bulky and tall for a tank isnt it? I mean Kaplan needs to be a bit tall because it's an IFV and it needs to carry some soldiers. But a medium tank could be a little bit more low profile I guess.
