Turkey and Indonesia united through their defense companies, FNSS Turkey and PT Pindad Indonesia, to develop a joint medium tank. Indonesia, in its efforts to achieve defense independence, requires technology transfer, encouraging continued defense cooperation between the two countries. Indonesia appointed PT Pindad, a Defense Industry BUMN, to collaborate with the Turkish company, FNSS, in the development of medium tanks and Software Defined Radio (SDR). FNSS, with long experience in the defense and security industry, has collaborated with various countries in the manufacture of defense equipment. Through this collaboration, Indonesia hopes to be able to produce defense equipment made in domestic industry again, while FNSS has carried out similar collaboration with other countries in the defense industry.
