The Indonesian Armed Forces took delivery of more than 500 new military vehicles on 2 October, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Jakarta has announced.
Among the platforms handed over in an MoD ceremony in Jakarta was a batch of eight Harimau medium tanks produced by local firm PT Pindad, the MoD said. The batch is the second that is known to have been delivered to the military, completing an initial order for 18 tanks. Ten Harimau tanks were handed over to the Indonesian Army in March 2024.
Other PT Pindad-produced vehicles handed over on 2 October included 23 Pandur 8×8 armoured fighting vehicles, nine Anoa 6×6 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), and four Komodo 4×4 light armoured vehicles.
The MoD also said the Indonesian Army took receipt of 250 PT Pindad Maung 4×4 tactical vehicles. The batch is the main part of an order for 500 of these vehicles placed by the MoD in 2020. An initial batch of 40 Maung vehicles was delivered to the army in January 2021.
Another local firm PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya (PT SSE) handed over nine Rantis 4×4 tactical military vehicles and eight Ransus 4×4 missile launchers, which is a version of the open-top P6 ATAV produced by the same company for Indonesian Air Force special forces operations. PT Ralika also delivered 250 vehicles that the MoD described as troop transport trucks.
