According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2022 Indonesia imported military weapons worth USD 59.8 million.

This import consisted of goods with HS code 93011000 (artillery or projectile-launching weapons) valued at USD 14.4 million.

Then goods with HS code 93019000 (other military weapons, excluding artillery, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, grenade launchers, torpedo launchers, revolvers, and pistols) worth USD 45.4 million.

The value of Indonesia's weapons imports in 2022 increased by approximately 39% compared to 2021. However, the value is still insignificant compared to previous years.

The highest record was recorded in 2014, where the value of military weapons imports with HS codes 93011000 and 93019000 totaled USD 316.5 million.

Cumulatively, during the 2014-2022 period, the value of weapons imports with these two HS codes reached almost one billion dollars, precisely USD 975.5 million.

Calculated at the current exchange rate (Rp 15,386 per USD), the value of national weapons imports in the nine years of President Jokowi's administration reached approximately Rp 15 trillion.

In early 2023, President Jokowi reprimanded the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to reduce the use of imported products. This is because the local industry can now produce some of the military's needs, such as weapons, ammunition, as well as military shoes and uniforms.

"We can make military uniforms and export them to all countries, yet we buy them from abroad. If it's advanced technology, then feel free to import," said President Jokowi, as reported by *Katadata.co.id*, Wednesday (15/3/2023).
