Seems this KAMAZ base MLRS for R-HAN 122B is going to be final design. Dahana (SOE Ammo companys) as integrator that work with local fabrication company, already put this as part of their final prototype on SOE presentation with their holding company.



Also they are working with another local MIC to build prototype for ATGM. Seems it is also on final phase of testing. All photos from respective company that already circulating online.

Development of the R-Han 122 started in 2007, if i'm not wrong. For a country which started research and development of rockets in the '60s, almost 20 years of development for just an MLRS with unguided 122 mm rockets is quite long.

It looks like it is built on a Kamaz 6350, which is a proven design. Well hopefully this project will not be suddenly cancelled for stupid reasons, after 19 years of struggle.

Republikorp land system subsidiary Republik Motor and Arquus already sign agreement for Tactical Vehicle. Not being mentioned, but Arquus X shown the model of the vehicle.

Could this be the model https://www.arquus-defense.com/mavrx-0 ? Remain to be seen later on. Arquus already have long history in Indonesia, and it is being use by Pindad as one of main components supplier for ANOA program. Basically Arquus work with Pindad to modified VAB design as Pindad own ANOA.

Republikorp now really move to become local conglomerate of MIC. After acquiring PALINDO as their shipyard, Aeroterra for Drones and Aerospace contractor, they also already acquired local fabrication company for their land system facility. They also already sign JV with Roketsan for missile assembly and components. They might be start as just another defense marketing brokerage, but shown traction as license productions.

PT Republikorp is seen by other Indonesian companies as a threat, but if they show results and deliver qualitative good equipment in sufficient quantities on time, then Indonesian citizens do not need to worry about them. Until now similar Pindad products like the Sanca (locally assembled Bushmaster) and Elang (rebranded Renault Sherpa Light) are only built in very small quantities, which maybe indicate that these two projects are failed ones, for some reason.

Btw, how about the Pindad Komodo, these are built in decent quantities (more than 50), are they still in production?

I also recently found this on the Facebook page of Keris:
So in this image we can see that only one (!) AH-64E is serviceable. Others are under maintenance (phase inspections) or just grounded. I am afraid that we can see this sad situation only worsen with all those many kinds of new models/types/brands/suppliers/countries of origin entering our armed forces.

The way I see it is 4 in maintenance process with 1 already finish. 4 in process of maintenance, the other 4 is waiting for maintenance. From what I heard this happen due to new maintenance support contract. Before the maintenance come under part of procurement. However it lasted only to 2024 and need new maintenance contract. New contract only being sign by 2025, that's why delay in maintenance.

Still I also mentioned that all the procurement need to be support by more maintenance budget. I'm still sceptical all marketing lobby will get new assets contract. Still the number even tough the type somewhat going to be reduce (from the rumours plan) need still to be increase the MRO budget.

Do Indonesia procurement really that far more type that what TNI-AI have so far? Let's see what we have so far:

• Su-27 talk about change to Su-35,
• Su-30 being talk into upgrade,
• If Sukhoi plan upgrade not progressing, then will be change to J-10BCE,
• Hawk 209/109 will replace with either M346FA or FA-50,
• F-16 will gradually replace by either KF-21 or KAAN,
• Rafale as new Omni fighter type.

So it is not really adding new type except Rafale, all so far is part of regeneration and Rafale is the only new capabilities. KAAN in my opinion is the wild card, and frankly speaking it is still long way to go. While the Flankers plan ? Really questionable due to Russia export financing problem.

In Eurosatory CSG call Trisula System as Trident system. Stating akready got contract in Southeast Asia for several batteries. I wonder whose in Southeast Asia want to contract this Trident aka Trisula Air Defence System.
