Nowadays, many countries around the world are increasing their defense spending because everyone values security issues.
However, Indonesia's defense budget is increasing very slowly.
In 2023, Indonesia's defense budget was 8.8 billion USD, and it will only increase to 10.6 billion USD by 2025.
This amount accounts for only 0.7% to 0.77% of Indonesia's GDP, which is much lower than other Asian countries.
Most of Indonesia's defense budget is spent on personnel and administration, with only a portion used to buy new weapons.
Although Indonesia has purchased some new aircraft, the military's equipment is still not advanced enough.
Many Asian countries are increasing their defense spending, such as Japan and Singapore.
Global defense spending is also continuously rising.
Indonesia and China have disputes in the South China Sea, and if regional tensions rise, Indonesia will also be affected.
Currently, Indonesia's defense modernization is insufficient, and compared to other countries in the world, Indonesia needs to do more to protect its own security.
