Indonesia's military spending lags behind Singapore's. Despite having the largest territory in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's defense spending is lower than Singapore's, even though Singapore only covers 719 square kilometers, less than half the size of Batam Island. In terms of quality, Indonesia's naval fleet is inferior to its neighbor, Singapore.
According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Indonesia's military spending in 2015 reached US$8.1 billion (Rp 104 trillion), second only to Singapore's US$10.2 billion. Thailand, with defense spending of US$6.1 billion, ranked third.
