This time I want to invite you to discuss a topic that is quite exciting and fun. The topic is that Indonesia is the country that is most difficult to invade by other countries. We have seen a lot from history that it turns out that the major wars that have occurred throughout human history have mostly been in the western part of the earth, for example Europe or the Middle East. There are a handful of regions on the face of the earth that seem to be free and difficult to reach by major wars or direct invasions from other countries, such as America and Indonesia. America, although actively played a role in World War II, the arena of war never occurred in the American region. Many experts argue that this is because America benefits from its geographical position which can be said to be isolated and only flanked by 2 countries, namely Mexico and Canada, which are much weaker in military strength than America. As a result, any attack plan that will be launched against America will be quite difficult and costly because it must travel a long distance and take a long time. The same position seems to be the same as the condition of Indonesia. Indonesia is a country that is geographically separated from other countries, except for Papua New Guinea and Sabah-Sarawak. Is it true that Indonesia is one of the countries that is quite difficult to be invaded by other countries? Here we hear some interesting opinions from many internet users in the world. A man named H said: VERY DIFFICULT. First of all, the physical reality of Indonesia. Indonesia is a nightmare in terms of geography, the vastness of Indonesia will make it very difficult for an attacker to maintain its logistics, what's worse, Indonesia is an archipelago that has access to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean with the longest coastline in the world, it is almost impossible for an attacker to completely embargo Indonesia because of the many seas and coastlines that need to be defended. The US Navy is probably the only navy in the world that has the capability to embargo Indonesia because of its large fleet and almost impossible. Not to mention trying to embargo Indonesia would have consequences for the global economy because of the many straits in Indonesia such as the Sunda Strait, Malacca, Makassar, Lombok, etc. are important shipping lanes for the global economy, closing these straits would effectively cut off East Asia and Southeast Asia from most of the world. And look at the map above, Indonesia is a tropical country, meaning it has a lot of forests, very humid temperatures, and most importantly, the muddy terrain would make all armored vehicles useless because they can easily get stuck. (This is also one of the reasons Indonesia invests more in light tanks and armored vehicles than heavy armored vehicles) Indonesia also has many mountains and hills, coupled with muddy terrain, attacking troops such as infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), main battle tanks (MBTs), etc. are practically useless and will be constrained. Taking Sulawesi will be very difficult because of its mountainous terrain. Worse for the attackers, Sulawesi is not the only one with such terrain, almost every major island in Indonesia has extreme mountains and hills. Meanwhile, according to a man named E, INVASION WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE FACTOR Indonesian national armed forces As I said before, an invasion of Indonesia will mostly be an infantry-based war because the terrain and land in Indonesia are not able to support armored vehicles, especially MBTs. With such a large population, Indonesia is able to muster more troops than most countries in the world. Even assuming that Indonesia only managed to recruit about 5% of its population, it would still be a very large military force with a number of about 13,950,000 personnel. Worse still for the enemy, the Indonesian national army is specifically trained for guerrilla warfare and can be considered one of the best in the region overall in that category. With 434,410 active personnel and 400,000 reserve personnel, Indonesia is ranked 15th in the world's military power in 2022. In Southeast Asia itself, Indonesia is the strongest for its military. Of course, the number of personnel and the strength of the defense equipment are also considerations in determining the military strength of a country.
