Publishing bogus / sensational stories is the main reason most Indonesia medias were inside my personal "blacklist". Although certain Indonesia printed medias is still good, their online version is completly different animal (different redactional team altogether). In practice I've only read local / city news, and for international news I've always rely on Reuters and ground sources for verification.

Same here! I also rely on AP news since its pretty much equal to Reuters.

Jakarta Post is good reading for day to day news so long as you are aware of their bias. Stay away from their Editorial Board and Opinion pieces though, they're garbage.

Jakarta Globe is much more lax in its daily reporting (It isn't sensationalist simply because they don't publish fast enough to be so), and their opinion pieces tend to be more nuanced.

Been relying on SCMP more lately, they tend to still understand the Asian mentality and have good articles.

Anybody got a pictures of Leopard 2A4+ in TNI-AD inventory?

Note I said Leopard 2A4+ because IIRC all of them has receive AMAP-B armour package and maybe Air Conditioner similar to Leopard 2RI variant but sans everything else.

Thank's, it's seem the AMAP-B weren't install on those tanks which make them basic Leopard 2A4.
I just hope they all had the bustle mounted air conditioner along with the APU, otherwise it's going to maintenance nightmare,

No wonder then, in that picture the air conditioner isn't installed on Leopard 2A4+

Its already installed. Notice in that picture the air-conditioning cover netting on both the 2A4+ and 2RI.

A top view of the 2RI air-conditioner with its cover netting:

2A4+ before AC installed:

2A4+ after AC installed:

Notice the difference of the back of the turret?
