My mistake. I thought that it was modeled after the German-developed MTU-890.
K2 project was progressing fast ahead while the engine development was behind
They turn to japan originally for their type 10 mtu. But japan do not want to sell, it was long ago and japan still imposed their self restrictions on weapon sales to other country. I dunno engine can consider weapon lol.. but tat was before they relax tat rule around tis year
So german come in hand. Originally they was already part of adviser team. So the idea of design from german is already thre. That why the mtu 890 can fit easily. It was also for testing purposes in the k2 (other system) while waiting their own indegenous power pack is to be ready. But problem continously come to the local made mtu and the top finnaly fed up and decided to order field the k2 asap to avoid negative public opinion. The project was already over budget and with tis engine problem will most probably cost more.
No problem for the german.. Thre money to be made plus it not like it a top secret classified technology. It just an power pack haha. Alot of country have it including our pt91m although their is a higher power variant

not somwhere to fit it, is list of sensor/module/weapon up to you to select base on your requirement. there list of partner defense industry suppler for you to select. anyway EOD already install in front nose so can do ISR, SAR, CAS, traning job. other depend your selection
anyway it cost can go up to 30 million if want full function.
just compare M-346 also cost 30 million each (S'pore order)
hawk 2xx light attack jet also cost 30~33 each.
TA-50 close to 40 million. (indo order)
30mil.. mahal juga
