The Indonesian military, as far as global militaries go, isn’t anything particularly special. They’ve been around for 70 years getting into skirmishes here and there. Making friends with the former Soviet Union, battling little Pacific nations like East Timor and West Java and South Maluku, getting some international heat for the Santa Cruz massacre in the early 1990s. Then getting involved in United Nations peacekeeping missions later in the decade and on into today (they also gladly accepted the aid of U.S. forces after the Sumatran earthquakes devastated their region in 2009).

Lately, they additionally screw around with 30-ton amphibious battle vehicles. Like the one in the following video, which captures a AAV-P7 — i.e. “Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7” or “LVTP-7”) being launched at a significant speed off a heavy duty pier into the drink. The splash makes it.
