t is good to see that Indonesian designers and manufacturers learned something from the earlier versions and made the necessary changes. For instance, with the Anoa-2, the bulletproof shutters can be opened and closed from inside the vehicle, rather than only from the outside, as on the Anoa-1.
It is also good to see that they used a NATO Standardization Agreement covering protection levels for occupants of logistic and light armored vehicles. These standards will protect troops from kinetic strikes as well as artillery attacks and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
The steel was made by PT Krakatau Steel to NATO standards, which can withstand 5.56 and 7.62 mm bullets.
