Indonesia's tax revenue increases exponentially since the start of SBY's administration; this clearly contributes the military spending. Even by maintaining the defense budget at 0.9 percent GDP; Indonesia is already able to make major purchases.

In recent decades, Indonesia has been quite docile militarily against its neighbors. There were many intrusions lately, like three Australian warships that reached 7 miles off Rote island, which is well inside Indonesian's territory. Again the response is minimal.

Indonesia allocate very modest defense budget compared to other countries in the region, just 0.8 percent GDP. But since a few years ago Indonesia's economy has expanded rapidly to about $1 trillion.

That's equal to $8-9 billion each year.

Indonesia may seem a bit scary these days, but where the extra money would be spent if not for replacing old weapons?
