Indonesian president vows to outgun Australia
By Indonesia correspondent George Roberts

Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono says his country should strive to have a more powerful military than Australia.

About 16,000 Indonesian troops are preparing for joint military exercises in East Java.

Meeting with military commanders, Mr Yudhoyono told them that Indonesia's military should be bigger and more modern than countries like Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.

Indonesia's military boasts 470,000 active troops, while the Australian Defence Force has just over 80,000 full-time personnel and reservists..

It has also embarked on a military upgrade program, building warships and drones, as well buying fighter jets, helicopters and rockets.

Indonesia has the world's 4th largest population, so obviously they would have a much larger economy and military budget than Australia. If Australia thinks they can compete with Indonesia in the long term, the Aussies are delusional.

Indonesia is a joke. Just because they have a larger military, doesn't mean they will be better than Australia. Indonesia is poor. They just wanna play a game of regional power. Anyway, Indonesia has Russia and China, while Australia has USA and UK

But they are poor. Australia has better life standards and the economy is large. Indonesia will always dream big

Stupid reporting.

All he said is that Indonesia should have military capability to match its size.

His statement was more pointed towards building capabilities to be better than Australia or it's immediate neighbors.

What do you expect, it's western media propaganda.

Australia might have higher living standards but Indonesia will be a more powerful country than Australia because of their large population size. Having more people means a large middle class and large taxable population, more talent, more human resources. Indonesia will be among the top 4 economies in 15-20 years time. This means they will have a larger military budget to buy weapons or build their own.

US is Australia's only ally that can make a big difference, the UK is nothing but a museum now. British power is very limited and they have very little power projection capabilities. The US is the western worlds only power that can compete with China, Indonesia and India.

Bold Red: Nah, we actually never dream anything big like Pinoys do, nor do we openly make any hostilities with countries bigger than our country like China, we befriend China instead and talk reasonably, unlike you who like dreaming on taking on China head on. But one thing for sure, we are certainly at a far better position than the country you came from. Either Militarily or Economically.
