The Indonesian Army is set to receive its first serial production Kaplan MT ‘Harimau' modern medium weight tank as early as the end of 2022.

The Harimau (Tiger) is a 30-tonne medium battle tank (MBT) that has been jointly developed by Turkish arms manufacturer FNSS Defence Systems and Indonesian state-owned weapons supplier PT Pindad.

An agreement to develop two prototypes of the tank was signed between the Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the Turkish Defence Industry Agency (SSB) in 2015.

Subsequently, a serial production contract for 18 Harimau tank units was signed between FNSS and PT Pindad in 2019 after the prototypes completed endurance and firing tests in Indonesia and Turkey.

Speaking to Janes at the Indo Defence 2022 exhibition in Jakarta, FNSS' corporate communications manager Cem Altınışık confirmed that 10 out of the 18 units were shipped from Turkey to Indonesia in March 2022 as part of the contract's first batch delivery.
