Personally, it's not a bad idea. I'd rather Airbus offer a A320 based family of multimission aircraft than the C-295 family. Would give them a competitive edge towards Boeing and their E-7/P-8.

Plus, when it comes to AWACS it's mostly subsystems that matters. If Airbus's radar solution can give Northrop Grumman a run for their money then I'm all for it.

The vessels, which will be known in service as KRI Posepa (870) and KRI Escolar (871) once commissioned, were launched on 27 July at the private shipbulder’s facilities, in Banten, West Java.

Posepa and Escolar will be the 10th and 11th PC-40-class vessels to be operated by the TNI-AL. The service inducted its first batch of three PC-40s, which were manufactured by PT Palindo Marine, in January 2017, and six more vessels were commissioned by the end of 2019.

Posepa and Escolar were laid down in July 2019. Besides these two latest vessels, PT Caputra Mitra Sejati also built the sixth to ninth-of-class, which were commissioned by the TNI-AL between July 2017 and December 2019.

The PC-40 class is a lightly armed variant of the TNI-AL’s missile-capable KCR-40M class. It has an overall length of 46.5 m, an overall beam of 7.9 m, and a hull draught of 1.7 m. The boat can accommodate a crew of 35 and can carry one rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) at the stern.

Although Posepa and Escolar have yet to be armed, there are plans to equip the vessels with the Marlin-WS 30 mm gun system from Leonardo. The vessels have also been equipped with two positions for 12.7 mm machine guns.

But really, does our budget enough for us to procure atleast 2 wedgetail? I've seen the numbers and I'm quite pessimistic for us to get wedgetail, not even globaleye. Still hope for such miracle happens tho

Tbf it's likely not going to come before 2022. Tankers take priority over an AWACS as it seems.

This is very good. Competition will force Pindad to innovate with their products. However, Komodo seems to be quite premium. Perhaps would be good for special units.

If you know their base price for D5 is not much different from SS 2 though

Well that is even better. It is up to Pindad now to streamline their cost of production and compete with Komodo on price and quality basis.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - PT Pindad (Persero) mengabarkan bila Toyota melalui jaringan penjualan Auto2000, sudah bersedia untuk menyuplai unit Hilux dalam memenuhi kebutuhan produksi kendaraan taktis (rantis) Maung.

Seperti diketahui, walau bisa mengadopsi mesin lain, namun saat ini Pindad fokus lebih dulu pada dapur pacu milik Toyota Hilux yang dibekali mesin turbodiesel 2.400 cc berpenggerak roda 4x4, termasuk urusan sasisnya.

Lantas apakah dengan menggunakan mesin Hilux nantinya Maung bisa melakukan perawatan berkala di bengkel resmi Toyota?

Menjawab hal ini, Vice President Inovasi PT Pindad Windhu Paramarta mengatakan, bila hal tersebut saat ini sedang dibicarakan lebih detail.

"Sebenarnya Pindad sendiri bisa untuk melakukan perawatan kendaraan yang memang diproduksi oleh kami, tapi untuk Maung ini, terkait dengan support yang diberikan oleh Auto2000 kita juga sedang mengupayakan adanya kontrak servis, dan ini masih didiskusikan seperti apa," ucap Windhu kepada Kompas.com, Rabu (29/7/20202).

Bila memang kontrak servis bisa dilakukan, maka harusnya nanti perawatan Maung bisa dilakukan menggunakan jasa dari pihak Auto2000, baik dengan cara datang ke bengkel atau ada teknisi yang dikirim untuk melakukan perawatan berkala di tempat.

Menurut Windhu, sebenarnya untuk Pindad sendiri bisa melakukan perawatan, dan tiap kesatuan militer Angkatan Darat (AD) di daerah-daerah sudah memiliki bengkel pusat peralatan (Bengpuspal).

Namun dikarenakan untuk lebih memudahkan serta penyediaan peralatan yang lebih lengkap, ada baiknya ditangani langsung oleh merek.

"Karena mesin-mesin modern saat ini itu sudah menggunakan tools engine diagnostic, termasuk Hilux pada Maung, jadi akan lebih baik ditangai oleh Auto2000," ujar Windhu.

"Sebenarnya kami punya engine diagnostic, tapi agar lebih memudahkan nantinya akan lebih baik pakai jasa dari bengkel merek," kata dia.

In near future i hope we can get Toyota and other Japanese automotive supplier for more efficiency on maintenance and operational readiness of our armored vehicles as we are much more closer to Japan industry. Imagine if Pindad komodo and Anoa using Japanese Made engines and chasis it will be more cost effective in longer term.
