[Sulman Badshah]

A bilateral exercise SEA THUNDER-IV 2019 between Pakistan Navy Special Service Group and Indonesian Navy Special Operation Force (SOF) concluded. Sea Thunder is a series of bilateral exercises which is conducted annually between Pakistan and Indonesian Navies. This exercise, being 4th in the series, continued for seven days.

The aim of exercise was to strengthen military relationship, improve coordination and interoperability between Special Operation Forces, exchange professional expertise and experiences of Counter Terrorism Operations between participating forces. During the exercise, Maritime Counter Terrorism Operations including Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIOs) were also rehearsed at sea. The exercise concluded with a remarkable coordinated Visit Board Search & Seizure Operations, jointly conducted by Pakistan & Indonesian Navies' SOF teams involving Pakistan Navy Ships, Sea-king helicopters and Special Forces' Boats in Arabian Sea.

The exercise is a reflection of strong bilateral military cooperation between Pakistan Navy and Indonesian Navy. Professional experiences gained during bilateral exercises were mutually rewarding and will foster greater bilateral cooperation between the two brotherly navies.

Pakistan and Indonesia are close allies and brothers, great to see this.
Indonesia also has one of the most respected armed forces in the world, and easily number 2/3 in the Muslim world.

WW2 , Japan control a large area in Pacific

I was surprised to see Philipines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam were all under Japanese control and large portion on China

They really were trying to build one massive Asian country

It makes sense why Indonesia today has a decent size Navy

The correct size of Indonesian Country
This shows the accurate map of just how big Indonesia really is as a country

Interesting map, I didn’t realise the extent of Indonesian islands was spread as wide as Continental US. A lot of potential for Indonesia, it will be great to see it prosper and take a bigger role in world affairs.

Actually I recently discovered the incorrect reporting of maps of various countries worldwide, even the reporting of certain continents is done incorrectly in world maps

It's a known issue but people still widely use the incorrect maps


Example the correct size of African continent
This is how big Africa is and why Colonist France has been active inside it to steal resources

However back to Navy Topic , if you have a large coastal area it makes sense for Indonesia to have a decent Navy force
