China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) which is present at the ongoing Indo Defence, is showcasing its new large cargo Unmanned Aerial Vehicle called the Sky Saker FX 6000C. The Sky Saker FX 6000C is powered by two wing-mounted turboprop engines and features a dual-canted rear tail design. The large cargo UAV features a central cargo hold and has a tri-cycle landing gear layout. The FX 6000C also has a cargo ramp.
NORINCO is the main supplier of Chinese Army weaponry and equipment and has developed several different kinds of UAVs under the sky saker portfolio.
This May, PT Pindad had also inked Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NORINCO. The MoU was a follow-up and significant step forward in bilateral cooperation between the Republic of Indonesia and China after the 2+2 meeting between the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs between the two countries in Beijing, some time ago.
PT Pindad will partner with the Chinese firm mainly with regards to the defence industry related to weapons systems, various caliber ammunition, military vehicles, as well as electric trucks and agricultural machinery for the industrial sector
