6 Wheeled Armored by PINDAD (II)

"Sangkuriang" 6 Wheeled Armored Panser

This 6x6 panser is still in prototype, Pindad gave name "Sangkuriang" for it. But surely the vehicle was designed as true panser since its no longer built from any commercial truck.

It has monoqoque body with engine compartment linear to passanger cabin, which makes it fully upgradeable into full amphibious vehicle.

The engine is Texmaco 6.595 Turbo Diesel with 260-300 HP. Top speed about 115 kmh and could carry up to 13 fully equipped personels. It also has cupola on its top-side.

Two of the prototypes were broght to parade on TNI anniversary. And It seemed that the army already ordered 100 of them.
