The armored carriers to be
purchased are Pindad's 6x6 Anoa panzers.
Defense Ministry
spokesman Sr. Comr. Hartind Asrin said Brunei planned to purchase 35
of the APCs.
“The first
purchase will be 15 units,” Hartind said recently as quoted by
tempointeraktif.com.
He added that Brunei
had already tested the capabilities of the APC vehicles.
“Brunei is
interested in buying weapons but has decided to test them first. They
have conducted a 100-kilometer test drive to see whether the engine
heated up,” Hartind said.
Brunei also plans
to buy Pindad-made SS2 assault rifles.
