Recently, images of the Kozak armored vehicle in Indonesia with a changed design, which differs from all previous cars of the family, appeared on social networks.
Indonesian sources called this car a prototype presented by the defense company PT Pindad with a changed appearance, especially in the front of the body of the armored car, its hood and radiator grille.
