OK. So? What are we supposed to be discussing?

LOL, we are currently spending around 1.2% of GDP on the defence budget.

And our Government budget alone, is well over $2 trillion. Defence spending as a percentage of the Government budget is nearly the lowest in the world.

I can't wait till we ramp up our defence spending to a level that is more in line with other major countries. 3% would be perfect, and still less than America or Russia.

I expect that will happen fairly soon (maybe before 2020), as our economic transition is well underway already.

And by that time we'll have great things to spend it on, like DF-21D modified with HGV warheads, that can sink enemy capital ships from halfway across the world.

With a reduce in personnel cost, expect us to be meaner and leaner. By 2025s, there is no question who will be the absolute leader in Asia.

IN will become a major force in Asia !!

Economy is the base for overall military strength, if you happen to be a huge manufacturing powerhouse,that will be another huge plus.

Indonesia has 8 ships

List of active Indonesian Navy ships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Indos]

I bet he talks about frigate, ya we only have 8 ( 2 under constructions)

But Indonesia is in the second position in the world in term of corvette population, just below Russia.

Total Navy Corvette Strength by Country

Edit: " I just knew that the OP actually talks about coast guard ships"

Mind you we spend only a measly 0.9% of our GDP on national defense. If Japan were to copy the United States and spend even just 3-4% of our GDP on national defense then I'm sure we could qualitatively and quantitatively change current levels. A defense budget of $200 Billion for Japan would enable us to contribute more to Proactive Peace in the Global Framework.

Indonesia is severely under-armed given its economy and natural resources.

no problem, it's just a matter of time. right now we are purchasing Kilo subs and SU 35 from Russia. the strength of Indonesian army truly lies in their experiences

TNI FTW! Indonesian forces sweep gold medals at shooting competition in Australia

OK.

My point is that it's important to have mature weapons platforms to spend the money on, before ramping up defense spending.

And the platform I mentioned is absolutely relevant to naval warfare.

In terms of actual ships I'd talk about the Type 055 destroyer and the Type 095 Nuclear attack submarine, when those platforms are done and mature then large-scale spending becomes a lot more efficient.
