Kostrad always get good toys and even their uniform n gear are , because its too expensive to give each Kodam the same good toy and stuff.
Noob ask: The Kodam have their own territory, and the Kostrad were attached to Kodam? it is the same with Kopassus too? Like the Kopassus in kartasura is under Kodam IV or under Jakarta(mabes)?

Indonesia reconsiders further acquisition of BTR-4 APCs after early trials

Key Points

• Indonesia has concluded a series of initial training activities on the BTR-4 amphibious vehicle from Ukraine
• Plans to acquire further vehicles is now being reviewed after encountering a number of teething issues

The Indonesian Marine Corps (Korps Marinir: KORMAR) has concluded initial training activities on its BTR-4 8x8 amphibious wheeled armoured personnel carriers (APCs), but is now reconsidering further acquisitions of the vehicle, a service official told IHS Jane's on 27 December.

The reconsideration follows KORMAR personnel reporting a number of issues with the platform during its initial training activities.

These included situations in which the APC is trimmed excessively by the bow when operated at full speed in the water.

Looks like Marinir weren't satisfied with BTR-4 afterall. Better go for more BMP-3F or newer BT-3F instead.

Holy crap... That looks like a serious matter..

And, the weight of the turret was supposed to counter the lean, no?

Cant tell but if the report said its trimmed excessively on the bow, the position of the platform is like that.
In terms of buoyancy and draft there is Trimmed by the bow (frontside lower) and Trimmed by the stern (rearside lower) under the surface of the water.

Comment: I think the security at the station is very sloppy, especially against bomb threats. No checks on goods carried by passengers, and many passengers who forged identity card.
