Indonesia is developing a unique boat for so-called “brown water” warfare.
The “tank boat” is designed to carry more than 50 troops and the firepower of a tank.
The tank boat will be used to defend the Indonesian archipelago from external threats and pirates.
Is it a tank that floats like a boat, or a boat that shoots like a tank? Indonesia’s new Antasena Tank Boat just might be both.

The long-promised hybrid vehicle is capable of patrolling 600 miles on a single tank of gas perfect for defending a country made up of thousands of islands. Tank Boat can carry more than a platoon of Indonesian Marines and features a tank-like turret to provide fire support.
