Current situation between Russia and Ukraine speak the importance of having large professional troops. Ukraine also has large reserve around 500.000 people and I believe all of them have been used in the war. Ukraine professional soldiers are also around 500.000 men/women.
Not to mention men cannot leave the country and many have been used to defend the country.
Indonesia will add around 30.000-50.000 professional soldiers, currently we have 395.000 military personnel.
Just think if Ukraine doesnt have 500.000 professional troops and 500.000 reserves.
We should see on the defender point of view, not the invader.
You keep ignoring the fact that Ukraine is only dealing a lot of damage to Russia b/c of MOBILE weapons. It's TECHNOLOGY that has saved Ukraine so far NOT numbers. What good is a million soldiers if they're getting run over by tanks & being obliterated by artillery? In fact considering that as you claim the Russians are outmanned by the Ukrainians it's clear that once again it's TECHNOLOGY that has saved Russia from defeat. Now imagine if either one of them had reduced their numbers & focused more on technology & training.
Our realities are completely different to yours. We already have more than a 100K soldiers than u already so your point concerning ur own forces is moot. It may be that your military might decide it doesn't need more than 500K either. You simply haven't reached that point.
