Indonesia is one of the main military force of the largest and strongest in the world. At that time, even the Dutch forces are not comparable with Indonesia, and America is very concerned with the development of our military forces are heavily supported by the latest technology of the Soviet Union.
1960, the Dutch are still entrenched in Papua. Seeing the power of the Republic of Indonesia is increasingly intense, the Western-backed Dutch deception designed to establish a puppet state that seemed to be independent, but still under Dutch control.
President Sukarno immediately take extreme action, objectives, retake Papua. Sukarno immediately issued a declaration "Trikora" in Yogyakarta, and its contents are:
1. Abort the establishment of a puppet state of Papua artificial Dutch colonial.
2. Kibarkan Sang Saka Merah Putih throughout the West Irian

Thanks to the proximity of Indonesia with the Soviets, then Indonesia massive assistance fleet and air force advanced military in the world with a huge amount, U.S. $ 2.5 billion. Currently, the Indonesian military forces to be strongest in the southern hemisphere.
Indonesia's main strength in the time it was one of the main Trikora largest and fastest warship in the world of artificial Soviet Sverdlov class, with 12 cannon caliber 6-inch giant. This is a KRI Irian, with a giant weight of 16,640 tons with a crew of 1270 people including 60 officers. Soviets, never once gave this strong ship in any other nation except Indonesia. (Newest ships of class Sigma Indonesia now only weighs 1600 tons).
The aircraft MiG-21 Fishbed is one of the main world's most advanced supersonic aircraft, which has been capable of flying at speeds reaching Mach 2. The aircraft is even more powerful than the most sophisticated American aircraft at that time, the plane supersonic F-104 Starfighter and F-5 Tiger. While the Dutch are still relying on the planes of World War II relics such as P-51 Mustang.
For the record, awesomeness planes MiG-21 and MiG-17 in the Vietnam War to encourage Americans founded the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor, pilots training center best known as TOP GUN.
Indonesia also has a fleet of 26 long-range strategic bomber Tu-16 Tupolev (Badger A and B). This made Indonesia one of the main of only 4 nations in the world that have strategic bombers, the American, Russian, and English. The air base is located on the Ground Iswahyudi, Surabaya.
