Pindad Badak Skyranger 30 Prototype — Shorad Prototype (Indodefence 2022) Scalable(1:100)

Witness the ambitious "what-if" of Indonesian defense engineering! This highly detailed model represents the Pindad Badak 6×6 prototype mounted with the powerful Rheinmetall Skyranger 30mm turret, showcased at the Indodefence 2022 exhibition. This mockup represented a bold attempt to create a mobile Short-Range Air Defense (SHORAD) platform, pairing the Badak chassis with a turret designed for air superiority.

While the Badak chassis proved too weak to support the recoil and weight of the Skyranger 30 turret in real-world testing, this prototype remains a fascinating example of Indonesia's aspirations in modern air defense technology. The model captures the striking visual contrast between the indigenous Badak chassis and the German-engineered Skyranger turret, featuring the iconic 30mm cannon, radar array, and missile launcher integration.

An essential addition for collectors of experimental military vehicles, Southeast Asian defense showcases, or "never-produced" prototypes. The unique combination of Indonesian engineering ambition with German firepower technology creates a conversation piece that highlights the complexities of modern defense development.
