Hmmm - the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) isn't that big and most of it is deployed towards the South China Sea

The nearest air base to Australia is Hasanuddin at Unjung Pandang (Makassar) - and that's over 1200 kms from the nearest bit of Australia.

They don't have a major base in the eastern 2000 km of the country - thats like the USAF not having a base west of Wichita.........

Hardly a threat at all.............
