"...trimmed excessively by the bow .." too heavy on the frontIndonesia reconsiders further acquisition of BTR-4 APCs after early trials
Key Points
The Indonesian Marine Corps (Korps Marinir: KORMAR) has concluded initial training activities on its BTR-4 8x8 amphibious wheeled armoured personnel carriers (APCs), but is now reconsidering further acquisitions of the vehicle, a service official told IHS Jane's on 27 December.
- Indonesia has concluded a series of initial training activities on the BTR-4 amphibious vehicle from Ukraine
- Plans to acquire further vehicles is now being reviewed after encountering a number of teething issues
The reconsideration follows KORMAR personnel reporting a number of issues with the platform during its initial training activities.
These included situations in which the APC is trimmed excessively by the bow when operated at full speed in the water.

Looks like Marinir weren't satisfied with BTR-4 afterall. Better go for more BMP-3F or newer BT-3F instead.
Holy crap... That looks like a serious matter.."...trimmed excessively by the bow .." too heavy on the front

Cant tell but if the report said its trimmed excessively on the bow, the position of the platform is like that.Holy crap... That looks like a serious matter..
And, the weight of the turret was supposed to counter the lean, no?
