Indonesian Military Rank upgraded to #13 in the world by Global Firepower

[pantaiema]

Global Firepower is one of the most recognisable index of military power. Here is the statement from GFP
"Since 2006 GlobalFirepower (GFP) has provided a unique analytical display of data concerning 145 modern military powers. The GFP ranking is based on each nation's potential war-making capability across land, sea, and air fought by conventional means. The results incorporate values related to manpower, equipment, natural resources, finances, and geography represented by 60+ individual factors used in formulating the finalized GFP ranks - which provide an interesting glimpse into an increasingly volatile global landscape where war seems all but an inevitability."

Yeah, sure. Russia on paper is the second best military on earth, but in reality it’s second best in Ukraine.

Nobody ever saw the Chinese military at total war.
I would not underestimate them, they have the numbers. Remains to see their tactical capability.

Russian have the experience, and patriotism. And a HUGE arsenal.

U.K. fifth ?

The survey leaves out any actual battlefield experience Indonesia has. Included and Indonesia falls way down on the list. Indonesia has no battlefield experience. Practice does not give one actual experience.

East Timor, Aceh and Irian Jaya? I suppose as the TNI were not fighting regular armies I guess the civil conflicts may not count as battlefield experience but useful exercises for the army beyond simple training.

Confrontation with Malaysia, sore losers there.

I reckon they'd have a good chance against PNG

Harry, what happened to your old account?

I managed to turn a little problem into a major problem. Started with being unable to get audio on Messenger. Tried to fix going to settings and only succeeded in turning off audio for my wifi headphones Tried restoring settings and finished up on a never ending cycle of resets and could not open laptop. Local computer place reset new Windows 10 which seemed to have wiped all my data. They managed to restore a lot of desktop files. The problem thereafter is that some years ago I had fallen into the trap of allowing google to save passwords for the convenience of opening many websites automatically, including this one. Couldn't remember the google password to open the google account. Tried about 20 variations but maybe it was one of those offered by google and had not written it down. Now having to open new accounts to about 10 different web sites.

What is needed is an on line course offered when buying a computer that alerts one to the many pitfalls that can occur with computer useage. Ahh well, as Ned Kelly said just before they hanged him, "Such is life."

If that's for me ... There's no reaction available for "care" or "sad" so this felt like the closest
