Fair enough.
China makes a strategic move to have most, if not all, important military components to be indigenously made to prevent foreign weapon sanction in a potential war. I believe at the current level of Indonesia's weapon industry, certain component is still challenging to produce domestically, whether it is the weaknesses in technical expertise or cost concern. It is not to say Indonesia cannot improve on this at future time but I seriously doubt they will ever reach USA/Russia/China level of art craft simply because Indonesia does not have enough capital and the will. But I can be wrong.
You are partly right, every development needs the will and a certain purpose. Japan's and Korea's technological advancement is ahead of Indonesia, yet much of their military product are still using foreign components, that's because Japan nor Korea doesn't have any will to challenge Super Power countries.
