Erm, I don't know if people have been to indonesia.. but it ain't exactly 'tank county'. Good luck finding a bridge they can cross at too. Indonesia's armed forces have for the last long while been wholly focused in internal security, with Aceh and the West paupuan separatist movements, so true expeditionary capability isn't really thier MO. They also have a habit of buying 'whatever' on a very ad hoc basis. Yes they have all these sweet fighter planes, but can you imagine the maintainance overhead for that many platforms? Finally, amphip capability in an opposed environment is difficult at the best of times, let alone delivering MBTs ashore. Considering they can't properly project airpower to cover such an operation, I'm happy to let them by all the static display pieces they want. (Yes, I know this thread is 10 months old, still an interesting topic for the Antipodeans.)
