Presidential candidate number two, Prabowo Subianto, stated that 50% of major weapon systems (alutsista) worldwide are used.

He made this statement during the third 2024 Presidential and Vice-Presidential Debate series, themed Defense, Security, International Relations, and Geopolitics, held at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Sunday (7/1/2024).

Previously, presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, raised the issue of the government incurring debt to purchase used alutsista.

However, Prabowo retorted that Anies did not understand defense matters.

“It’s unbecoming for a professor (Anies) to say that. Because in defense, almost 50% of equipment (alutsista) everywhere is used, but still relatively new,” said Prabowo.

According to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), cited in a research report by Laboratorium Indonesia 2045, the majority of Indonesia's active alutsista are used.

The report stated that, as of October 2022, 60% of Indonesia's active alutsista were from the 1950-1990 generation of weapons.

Furthermore, 35% of Indonesia's active alutsista belonged to the post-2000 generation of weapons, and 5% were from the pre-1950 generation of weapons.
