Anoa

The Anoa is an Indonesian-made 6x6 armoured personnel carrier developed by PT Pindad. It is designed to transport troops in various combat and support roles, offering protection against small arms fire and landmines.

Development of the Anoa began in the early 2000s as Indonesia sought to reduce its reliance on foreign military imports and establish a self-reliant domestic defense industry, drawing design inspiration from the French VAB. The vehicle officially entered service with the Indonesian Army in 2008 following successful trials of the prototype. Since its induction, the Anoa has seen extensive operational deployment with Indonesian peacekeeping contingents under United Nations missions in Lebanon, Darfur, and the Central African Republic. Today, the Anoa remains a cornerstone of Indonesia's mechanized infantry, with over 400 units produced in various specialized configurations and exported to regional partners.
