Rws merk apa?Turangga 4x4 for Paskhas
Looks like its the Turkish Aselsan SARP RCWS.Rws merk apa?
Interesting to see a model of a 8x8 APC beside the two Pindad Medium Tank models. Looks like a new type 8x8 APC. Noticed also the Medium Tank model at the front has different front hull design than the Medium Tank model in the background. The hull design of the Medium Tank model in the background is the same as the Pindad Medium Tank Prototype.
Its different. The difference is in the front section of the front hull. You can see from the pic below the position of the triangular steel bar for hooking (red circle) is positioned rather in the middle of the front hull. There is more slope in design from the triangular steel bar to the position of the headlamp (blue line) section compared to the Medium Tank model in the background. Iirc...there was news after the successful mobility & live firing tests the CEO of PT Pindad said that there will be some minor changes in the design.There is no difference in the hull for me, it's just viewed from different angle. But still the same hull as the prototype.
The armor side skirt is obviously the different with one is without the armor side skirt. But if you look closely at the front end of the front hull of both of the Medium Tank models you will see the difference. There is a slope angle between the triangular steel bar and the front end of the front hull section (red line).the one on the front has armor skirting

I was wondering what is the name of those triangular steel bar in english...now i know "lifting eyes". Tq.I think it's more of inaccurate modeling than an actual design.
The placements of front lifting eyes on the first photo made no sense. That location should be where the spaced armor present, that means it has no direct contact with the hull. The lifting eye needs to be welded directly to the hull to be able to effectively spread and bear the load (weight) of the hull when it need to be lifted off the ground. CMIIW.
