Indonesian defence company PT Pindad is nearing serial production of the modern medium-weight tank production called Kaplan MT (Medium Tank) developed jointly by Turkish company FNSS.

PT Pindad has announced that company is close to starting Kaplan MT production at a new factory in Indonesia, which series production expects will begin in 2019.

FNSS and PT Pindad initiated the project to develop modern medium weight tank in November 2014. At the moment, the Philippines can also join the project, Philippines Army also shows interest in acquiring a new medium tank.

Jointly developed by FNSS-PT Pindad, Kaplan MT’s design architecture with advanced ballistic and mine protection systems allows the use of a wide range of NATO-standard ammunition that can engage targets at a maximum distance of 10km.

Kaplan MT is fitted with a two-man CMI Cockerill 3105 turret armed with a Cockerill 105mm high-pressure gun which can fire both AP (Armour Piercing) and HE (High Explosive) ammunitions.

The vehicle owes its advanced mobility capability to its 6 wheeled anti-shock suspension system, built on torsion bars with double pinned tracks which provides optimum performance on both urban infrastructure and cross country. The vehicle is fully operable in a broad range of altitude and humidity, and temperatures. (-32°C/+55°C).



The Kaplan’s power pack is equipped with capacity cooling pack and fuel tanks. The cooling pack is cooled by an intelligent software driven hydraulic fan for optimum torque extraction and fuel economy, and two separate fuel tanks provide a minimum operating range of 450km. An auxiliary power unit enables turret operation when vehicle engine is not running by charging battery system. Advanced battery monitoring system is also equipped for optimum power management and silent watch capabilities.

The vehicle interior is engineered carefully considering crew ergonomics and different tactical and battlefield conditions including driving, firing and ammunition loading and unloading. Special type of driver seat allows the operator to benefit from enhanced field of view and convenient access to dashboard and other driving instruments.

@Horus @Oscar @Bilal Khan 777 this might not be a bad idea for the PAA's AH-1F/S. I know our Cobras took on a lot of stress from high-altitude operations over the past decade, but do you reckon there's a way to rebuild and to upgrade them for a baseline anti-armour role? Integrated EO/IR (w/HMD cueing) and SALH ATGM.

They dont have any life left in them and a SLEP may not longer be cost effective.

What is this bro? can you explain?

 

[Oguzbalasi]

for aselsan MR maybe?

EDIT: Yes for MR most probably. look at the computer screen there is a human head

 

[Bismarck]

You mean MRT.

 

[Oguzbalasi]

we call it as MR -emar- in Turkey.

 

[Hexciter]

You mean MRT.

MRG in Turkish, MRI in English.
Magnetik Rezonans Görüntüleme = Magnetic Resonance Imaging
That’s for medical imaging mainly.
General Electric from USA, Siemens from Germany and Toshiba from Japan are world leaders in this subject.
