Indonesia is still under-armed for its economic size.

Imho i would like it to be called a Combat Boat rather than a "Tank Boat". Even John Cockerill at their booth during IDEX 2021 called it a Combat Boat. Lol.

Anyway the first prototype that you see is fitted with a John Cockerill latest 3030 Series Turret (30mm). Looks like add-on armors are fitted around and above the bridge. The "Tank Boat" is actually a collaboration project between PT Lundin, PT Pindad and John Cockerill.

Looks like PT Lundin next project is a X18 Missile Boat.

So something like a LAV/IFV on waters with different turret options?

Right? It is literally a gunboat. Dunno why they keep calling it a tank boat just bcoz it uses an IFV turret.
Also, why on earth they put turret right on top of the bridge, the muzzle flash and sound when the gun is firing would be both blinding and deafening to the bridge crew, would it not?

Yeah like a modern day PBR.

Though I still can't brain the 105mm version, its not like they're going to fight armor. What's wrong with old fashion 81mm mortar for fire support?
