Why is Turkey spending so much for its military when everybody else in Europe is cutting military spending?<\/p>\n
Any idea why Turkey needs to spend so much for its military? Who\u2019s threatening Turkey?<\/p>\n
Indonesia to increase military spending too:<\/p>\n
Australia is asleep at the wheel:<\/p>\n
\u201cMove to boost defence budget by 35 per cent seen as bid to balance China\u2019s growing military in Southeast Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sure. The Indo\u2019s will \u2018protect us\u2019 from the Chinese. Indonesia will be \u201can important ally \u201d to the U.S. The Indo\u2019s need fighter aircraft \u201cmore than anything\u201d, to \u2018compete with the rest of the region\u2019\u2026..<\/p>\n

The Indonesian government has said it will increase its defence budget by 35 per cent next year, in a step which is seen as helping to balance China\u2019s growing military strength in the region.<\/p>\n
Indonesia has the largest army in Southeast Asia, but its equipment is often outdated and dangerous, so the upgrade is seen as necessary. The machines that make ammunition in the nation\u2019s weapon factories currently date back to 1938.<\/p>\n
In 2005 the US lifted a six-year weapons embargo that had been imposed after alleged human-rights abuses. That embargo, and a tight military budget, were the main reasons behind why the equipment was never renewed.<\/p>\n
