Tension with OZ escalates as RI deploys warships
With Canberra pressing ahead with its hard-line policy of turning back asylum seekers to Indonesian waters, Jakarta told its neighbor on Wednesday the policy could lead to violations of Indonesia’s sovereignty and that it had increased security on its borders to prevent incursions.
A number of Indonesian Navy warships have been deployed and four Air Force defense radars have been programmed to closely monitor the southern border, military officials told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
“We are watching four radars in Timika, Merauke [in Papua], Saumlaki [Maluku] and Buraen [East Nusa Tenggara], which all face Australia,” Air Force chief spokesman Air Commodore Hadi Tjahjanto said.
“If we notice any border violations, our air base in Makassar will be ready. Australia is reachable from there.” Hadi was referring to the Sultan Hasanuddin Air Force Base in the South Sulawesi provincial capital, which is the base of the 11th squadron, consisting of 16 Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flankers.
Navy chief spokesman Commodore Untung Suropati confirmed that a number of warships had moved toward the Australian border. He said these included frigates, fast torpedo craft (KCT), fast missile craft (KCR) and corvettes as well as maritime patrol aircraft. He declined to reveal the precise number and location of the assets.

Indonesia didn't mind Australian ships entering its territorial waters when they were rescuing drowning asylum seekers just off the coast of Indonesia and were really Indonesia's problem.
See the folly of Australia stoopidly giving Indonesia $500million every 52 weeks in aid.
They've amassed a mighty miltary, twice the size of Australia's.
Dimwitted Aussie politicians.
Should have many nuke missiles pointed at Jakarta.
Oh well, it's too late now, Australia caught with its pants down again...just like in WW2.
Time for Australia to get nukes and amass a huge and mighty military.
Push 5 buttons...and Indonesia turns into ash.
I'd better start digging a bunker.
Who will Obama side with when the bullets and bombs start flying?
