“Ideally, the budget for the maintenance of the TNI’s main arsenal should be 20% to 25% of the entire defence budget,” said Sudarsono.

The proposal significantly improves TNI’s military hardware and armour which is up to 20 years old.

The defence sector budget for 2009 is IDR32tn and less than 10% of the amount was destined for military hardware maintenance and preservation.
