Only that yours belong to the coast guard and mine to the country's navy

There's a story told by an official that a foreign weapon system seller once joked why we bought so few . . . .and asked if they were meant for rebels or state. LOL. A country with more than 200 million people and among the top 20 of the highest GDP can't afford as many planes and other sophisticated weapon systems as say Malaysia, a country of mere 20 million people....less than twice the people living in Indonesia's capital (Jakarta) alone.
