    1. Marinir TNI AL suka dengan senjata dari blok timur 🙂

      Hapus
    2. Kalau ambil DITA 8x8 apakah LCU yg sekarang muat?

      Hapus
    3. Masalahnya bukan suka atau tidak suka. Seharusnya yang dipikirkan adalah komonalitas suku cadang dan ketersediaan angkutan yang ada serta kemampuan mobilitas suatu alutsista.

      Meriam artileri seperti SPH itu adalah alutsista yang memberikan bantuan tembakan jarak jauh. Jadi biasanya SPH ditempatkan beberapa puluh km dari garis depan. Sehingga perlindungan plate armor tidak begitu dibutuhkan.

      Lain dengan tank yang memang dimaksudkan untuk maju di garis depan menggempur perkubuan musuh. Jadi tank butuh perlindungan armor yang memadai.

      Kemampuan LCU yang kita punya hanya 20 ton sedangkan SPH DITA punya berat 29 ton. Jadi kelihatannya DITA tidak dibeli. Yang mungkin akan dibeli untuk marinir ya sama dengan yang dipakai AD yaitu Caesar Nexter.

      Hapus
    4. Setahuku keunggulan Caesar hanya bisa dibawa Hercules.

      Hapus
    5. Kalau commonality bagusnya ambi EVA. Sama2 Tatra 815 dan 155mm. Kalau ambil Caesar, harus comot montir dari AD.😋

      Hapus
  4. The DITA artillery weapon system will have a length of 13.02m, a width of 3.08m, a height of 3.12m and will weigh up to 29t.

    =====
    Pada setiap kapal LPD TNI AL terdapat dua LCU yang masing-masing punya daya angkut hingga 20 ton.

    1. Jadi kalo ambil 8x8 SPH yang bertonase lebih besar, sepertinya LCU juga perlu disesuaikan..

      Hapus
    2. tipe KRYL 6×6 buatan Polandia aja berat masih 23 ton, kalau ngak disesuaikan ngak bisa punya kal 155 mm yaaa 🙂

      Hapus
    3. Vampire bukannya 25.7t? Itu bawanya gimana?

      Hapus
    4. Mungkin hanya mereka yang tau sebabnya, kenapa Vampir/Grad bisa dimuatin ke LCU dari LPD-LPD itu..

      Kih..kih..kih..

      Hapus
