nice, but is theres any specific gun they use ?, because its seems dynateq have 2 diff option for the gun, and from web description also probably their catalogue ? they offer 30mm Defa and 30mm Camgun.

we dont know, considering the tank was revealed only just a few days ago and tbf the company themselves haven’t explicitly revealed this yet, it was shown by the government’s House of Representatives, so not a whole lot of information other than the basic ones we’ve already known
hell the turret could also be either Reutech or Dynateq, since they’re very similar (might even be the same).
although, theres a 99% chance we’ll get a better look at the specifications come January during the IndoDefence2025, since anything major would most likely be there (such as this).

heres another suggestion ( or not ) for low tier AA if you getting bored getting a truck with 50 cal how about a car with 50 cal

also this will be off topic, because idk where i should put ( the aviation is closed, so i decided going to here ) and this could be unique vehicle. during seroja operation/ Indonesia invasion of timor, the airforce need another plane for ground attack / CAS role and the airforce decided to arm some of their available plane including grumman albatross, they equip albatross with 50 cal, bomb , and rocket. but there’s no more online detail about it ( i only know that its equip with 50 cal , and 4x 250 kg bomb), but there’s display plane at A.sulaksono museum that could be have more details about it

the source for this is in the “Operasi Udara di Timor Timur”, so quite a rare book.
the one in abd. Saleh AFB has some MK82s displayed alongside it
However the museum in Yogyakarta also has a singular UF-1 Albatross, this one is a part of the 5th air squadron the singular air force squadron that operates it. The display plaque only mention torpedoes and rockets, and i dont see any gun mounting for the machine guns, maybe the holes on the wing near the engine could be the gun placement, but again not sure.

But i think its not really needed since with its speed and size it would be a bomber trying to fulfill a striker role, and considering for the lower ranks we already have a good option for both of those types (T-6G/AT-16, Guntei, B-25J, Catalina)

so what i found rn, theres half detail information photo in the recent google map review of that museum ( wich i cant show you in here, cause someone is blocking the information), another information that someone from fb says that airforce have / show a photo about the mg but they show it in their hangar? during 80s.
well despite others low rank plane, i think we could still reconsider it, cause not many albatross really equip with cas/ ground attack armament and b4 someone say " An0tHer C0py P4stE "

sure, its just the information we have is extremely limited, it could also be similar to the AC47 Dakota gunship that we have where the brownings are side-mounted, again we dont know
