I liked that design. It will be a strategic fast amphibic assault vehicle in Aegean environment. The number of ZAHA to be produced will be 27 but If Second LHD became certain on paper, I think addition 27 ZAHA will also take place in parallel to that project.

Is that the tank for Pindad def for Indo army??


Yes, It is !
 
Since FNSS has license to produce AAVP7A, it's more than likely just an updated version of the same platform like M9 ACE digger.
What does FNSS do with that license? Do they produce those vehicles for the US army (or Marines or whatever)? Turkey doesn't have any AAVP7A's in their inventory right?

I don't know really, perhaps they produced some parts and shipped them out to the US and other places - AFAIK, FNSS has been sitting on AAV7 license of a while - the older website they had featured it but the newer website does not ..
 
AAV7 is an old design, very slow. But whatever, we are only buying a few so no need to design something from scratch.
 
FNSS from Turkey will developed ZAHA new tracked amphibious armored for Turkish armed forces.
The Turkish Company FNSS has won a contract to produce 27 tracked amphibious armoured vehicles for the Turkish armed forces including personnel carrier, command post and rescue vehicles. To response to this new request, FNSS will developed the ZAHA (Zirhli Amfibi Hücum Araci) a new combat amphibious tracked armoured vehicle.

The new FNSS ZAHA is a vehicle in the category of the American-made LVTP-7 tracked amphibious assault vehicle which is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore.

FNSS is a leading manufacturer and supplier of tracked and wheeled armored combat vehicles and weapon systems for the Turkish and Allied Armed Forces.

The Turkish Company FNSS has a full family of Tracked Armored Combat Vehicles (ACV-15), designed with the necessary mounting provisions to transform the vehicle into various configurations based on user requirements. The Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier (AAPC) configuration forms the base vehicle for all other variants of this family of vehicles. FNSS has developed the ACV-19 family of vehicles which provides higher internal usable volume and payload. ACV-19 offers the latest developments in high value vehicle performance while maintaining commonality with the ACV-15 family of vehicles.
 
To be honest I don't really see the point of equipping a Kaplan with those ATGM's. It will be way more expensive then equipping those pars with ATGM's. If a Kaplan is hit by a tank round or an ATGM the crew probably won't survive anyway. More Pars with the ATGM's means a more cost efficient, and faster vehicle with more manoeuvrability.
