History:

TR-46 Kobra is a light tank developed by Indonesia. The TR-46 is considered the "father" of the Kobra AGV.
In this alternate universe, Indonesia gained its independence in 1938. By 1944, the country needed a light tank that could use a highly modern APCBC shell design—discovered in 1943—which provided high muzzle velocity. Many development projects failed. However, in late 1944, a person named Dary Cesar introduced a turret design shaped like a bowl, along with a new technology: the autoloader. This idea was accepted by PT Pindad. After building five prototypes, the tank entered production in late 1945 and was officially deployed by the Indonesian military in 1946.
