Janji you from Sabah. Stick dulu bro.

in b4 boleh bah kalau kau

i believe having a protective armor against IED is important and at the same time the possibility of using this in urban terrain like on the highway or road would be good. Would be good for peacekeeping mission too
Somehow i believe the base needs some redesigning to cope for different variants and usage.
Malaysia's defence industry is still needs heavy investing into. It is really bad policy of the government to just go out and buy buy buy all foreign and leave very little space for local to grow without heavy support on certain level of self reliance.

unless you are going for full redesign on the hull. it is unlikely armor vehicle like av8 class will have full effective defense on IED.
if military going to IED prone areas it is better to use MRAP.

Our very own local produce?

as much as the hull can be used for various planned version for different usage, any plans in the pipeline for unmanned version?

I wish we dun have to develop like so many variants..

Projected unit orders how many btw?

Not 100% buatan Malaysia and it is not Malaysia technology either.
but we are buying the tech.

unmanned version.
I dun think we have 1.

Yup, same sentiment here.
I hope they start it small. 3 variants perhaps. and get large number of its.
further develop it in the future.

256units. for first batch.
2nd batch unknown. but will be conclude after all the first received.

Got aircon inside?
Got reactive armor packs?
How deep can swim?
Range is how far?
Armor thickness?
Civilian model got?

Now we got insurgents in Lahat Datu. Can these thanks be deployed to scare them away and also protect our troops from mortar fire?

got small refrigerator and some drinks inside.

rather then use pole mounted sensor like vingtaqs II, we should consider mounting a small UAV on the vehicles. give the vehicle wider coverage.
