Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro revealed plans for something of a revolution in the capability of Indonesia's military by buying 180 Sukhoi fighters by 2024, to join the 10 Su-30MKs and Su-27s already in service. An across-the-board rejuvenation of the force in the decades ahead would be one dividend from maintaining the current fast pace of economic growth, Mr Yusgiantoro said.
