An interesting article, with plenty of flaws. From what I can see the statistics are all over the place, 149 MBT for Australia? 96 combat aircraft for indonesia? 106 for Australia?
Its interesting to see how the class amphibious ships and aircraft carriers.
Seems to do a lot of numbers v numbers ignoring capability and systems.
I think there is several interesting stories about defence in asia, declining us influence in this region, rising chinese influence. But this story seems to muddle them up and play it like a board game with some sensationalist overtones.
