FNSS PARS 6x6 for Indonesia?



I'm having trouble determining exactly WHAT vehicle Doosan is actually selling to Indonesia.

They have produced a 6x6 for a competition to equip the S. Korean Army and lost.  That vehicle was the Black Fox.

Then suddenly we hear about them selling a vehicle to Indonesia and although I originally posted an article saying that the vehicle (and award) was another win for FNSS or the Koreans had practically cloned the vehicle, I was told that the vehicle being offered was the Black Fox.

I went to the website this morning and what do I see?  The FNSS PARS 6x6 being listed as the vehicle that Doosan is selling.

Defense procurement is becoming murky, confusing and appears to be getting cut outs.

Of course this could all be the results of partnerships, financing, royalties, production rights etc...

I'm sure there is more to come.
