Any idea of the cost of this one and N219?
MALE UAV Drone Black Eagle (2016-on going) Together with other consortium members
It will use engine from Rotax Austria, its either 4 stroke or 2 stroke engine. I can't find additional info regarding the engine model.Does the UAV have a turboprop or just a diesel engine like MQ-1C Grey Eagle and Turkish drones? Many thanks.

Thank you. I don't think it would be a 2 stroke engine for that size and I suspect it would be the same engine as MQ-1 Predator which has been a popular choice for UAV of this class. Interesting. Is there any particular feature that separates Indonesian MUAV from existing UAVs?
Nothing special, it will just be a mediocore one compared with UAV's that's already on the market.Thank you.

But for our first locally built and designed UAV, its a nice steeping stone for our UAV industry. It will help local company to grow and develop all sub-system needed.
Senegal bought another CN 235 for MPA role from Indonesia. The contract was signed in Senegal this May. The picture below was taken in March this year when Senegal delegation visited the construction of their CN 235 previous order.
The news is in Indonesian (bahasa).

Apart from CN 235 Indonesia also manufacture CN 295, why PT DI instead of CASA? Lobby maybe. Why 235 instead 295? Maybe they prefer the smaller aircraft? :vDo you know any reason why Senegal did not order CASA C-295? According to Wiki, it is cheaper and obviously a newer and better tactical military aircraft.

I dont think the number in Wikipedia is correct. According to the latest (2018) CN 295 deal for Indonesian police (transport role), we need to buy it for 45 million USD while latest price for CN 235 (transport role) is 37 million USD. The price is stated by Indonesia Aerospace Marketing Director

Our CN 235 MPA plane is also opened for customization so the avionics set up is not sticky, this some how is preferred by some customers.
Aside from cheaper price, the chosen may also come from the need to operate smaller aircraft like what @NEKONEKO has pointed out. Brotherhood feeling may play as well in the choosing. Satisfaction with the previous order and service also become another point that prompt the latest order as Senegal has previously bought 4 CN 235 from Indonesia (2 second hand and 2 new plane) with 3 of the planes has already been operated by them.
