Overview
The P2 is an Indonesian armored car produced by PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya (SSE Defence).
Design
The P2 has a design similar to the French-made Panhard VBL 4×4 which is now used by the Indonesian Army Cavalry Company. In 2004, 2 units of P2 Pakci was produced for SAT-81 Gultor (a Kopassus detachment). APC variant has been around since at least 2006, while the commando variant's first public appearance was in the 2012 Indo Defense event. The P2 is equipped with a semi-open turret that can be mounted on a 7.62 mm caliber GPMG or 5.56 mm FN Minimi mount. Bearing the title of armored, the entire body, including the glass is said to be able to withstand the impact of 7.62 mm caliber projectiles. In NATO standards armor resistance is up to level III. The P2 Commando with a combat weight of 4.5 tons has been prepared to easily fit into the cargo compartment of the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. The engine is supported by a 130 hp turbo diesel engine with an intercooler. With full tank, the P2 Commando can roam up to 500 km.
