Harimau MT Logo
Hello everyone! Today I would like to suggest the Indonesian Harimau MT’s Logo decal. This decal can be found on the Earlier prototypes version of the Harimau MT. This logo appears before the vehicle are put into service, so its most likely that this decal is related to the company that created the tank, and thus missing when the vehicle is in-service with the Army.
I think this decal could be an interesting addition for a unique Indonesian decals to the game.
A. History
Details
The development of the Harimau MT (known in Turkey as the Kaplan MT) began in 2015 when Indonesia and Turkey agreed to jointly design a modern medium tank for the Indonesian Army. The joint program would involve Turkey’s FNSS & Indonesia’s PT Pindad. The project would eventually move from concept to a physical model first unveiled at the Indo Defence 2016 and the first prototype being showcased at the IDEF Expo in 2017. Following extensive trials, the vehicle was deemed ready for mass production by late 2018. Mass production officially kicked off in early 2020s, and subsequent production models feature several key upgrades compared to the base prototype version, including a reworked hull, better suspension, cooling, and ergonomics. The first batch of vehicles was officially handed over to the Defence Ministry on February 2024 and was formally introduced into service the following month.
Its unclear exactly when this logo was used, but what is known is that it was used on the side of the tank when it was showcased by PINDAD. The logo is a yellow tiger facing towards the left-side, with a red and white background on a crest. This logo however has not been spotted on the vehicle in service, so its presumably a part of PINDAD’s marketing for the vehicle itself.
