img was taken in October 1955. While we still have the tank as a museum piece (specifically the Dharma Wiratama Army Museum in Yogyakarta), images of the thing while being in active service is especially hard to come by
I used the website’s articles in the AMX-13/105 retrofit suggestion as well. It really is a shame that Angkasa Reader basically vanished without a proper archival. That and the old-old Kaskus Militer, now its all just broken jpegs

Not just that, but you can find M3A3 Recce in Bandung Traffic park (alongside F-5E) but i swear the tank in that park once still had it’s turret when i still a child.
Does anyone know what gun is installed in this AMX-VCI photo? The barrel look too long for M2HB Browning machine gun and the conical flash hider is not something that usually fitted into the M2.
My wild guess it’s single Barrel ZPU-1/KPV HMG or something else. but i need someone else opinion and analysis
The barrel supports ( shroud) looks like an M2 Browning, that muzzle brake can also be found on other Indonesian brownings & other countries (IDF in this case)
the barrel length itself is the questionable part, it looks twice as tall as the regular M2 but maybe its due to the mounting port on the VCI since the mount is external and slightly protrudes compared to the V-150
So how much the approximate spare rocket P6 ATAV can carry? because just 2 70mm guided rocket + .50 cal would be bad in mid tier (unless it’s classified as TD)
If P6 ATAV with .50 cal now in the list, then it’s possible to add other light armed light vehicle like Improvised Armored truck with M2HB (just like used during Aceh Insurgency) for br 1.0 SPAA (just like soviet milk truck) or 40mm AGL platform light vehicle like BTR-40 and VBL? because there is considerable amount of vehicle suggestion with 40mm AGL as the main gun in the forum, and Gaijin is pretty much won’t give a damn with cold war vehicle in low tier
