: A Turkish firm has collaborated with an Indonesian company to produce the prototype of the 34 ton KAPLAN MT tank. The prototype was displayed during the October 5th Indonesian armed forces day parade. The Indonesian design team worked in Turkey with the manufacturer to design and build the prototype which has been undergoing field tests in Indonesia since the vehicle arrived in September. Twenty of the KAPLAN MT tanks will be assembled at an Indonesian plant and some of the components will be manufactured in Indonesia. Most of the tank components are made in Turkey although the turret comes from a Belgium firm. More orders will follow if the KAPLAN MT continues to perform well in the many diverse parts of Indonesia.
