I'll keep this short because it's boring.
Did the US military want us? No
Did US/Oz politicians? Yes
Were we part of the air assault on Iraq? No
Did we perform bombing missions once the Iraqi defences were disabled? Yes
Did the US military want the F18s flying missions in Afghanistan? No
And . . . would Australia be successful in attempting an invasion of Indonesia? We would struggle to destroy their air defences let alone mount a ground invasion of Java. So no.
As for a breakdown of military assets . . . I'll let you play battleships with your mates. Geopolitical realities are far more relevant to who and how any such war would play out than the scant military hardware possessed by both countries.
Did the US military want us? No
Link to the US Military not wanting Australian F18's or Australian Military help in IRAQ/Afganistan?
Did US/Oz politicians? Yes
You finally got something right, not bad what 10 posts and you actually post something thats correct!
Were we part of the air assault on Iraq? No
Australian F18's where part of the air assault as they flew over 670 sorties.
Did we perform bombing missions once the Iraqi defences were disabled? Yes
Disabled??? As per my previous links and comments flying over Iraq wasn't akin to an exercise as you previously stated, aircraft where continuing to be shot down.
Did the US military want the F18s flying missions in Afghanistan? No
The US cut back their own fixed wing aircraft in Afganistan due to the nature of the combat; not because they didn't specifically want our F18 Hornets which a number where sent to Afganistan as well as Iraq.
We would struggle to destroy their air defences let alone mount a ground invasion of Java.
What air defences?
And . . . would Australia be successful in attempting an invasion of Indonesia?
Who has talked about invading Indonesia?? You stated at #1711 that Indonesia has the capabilites to defend incursions into it's waters; I asked you at #1713 what with?
As for a breakdown of military assets . . . I'll let you play battleships with your mates.
So you really have NFI of the military capabilities of the Indonesian Defence force then? Let me guess as I asked you previously you have never been on an Indonesian naval vessel or been involved with the IDF during their operations?

Thats probably why I asked you 3-4 times who would side with Indonesia in a conflict with Australia but you can't tell me!
You may also want to let me know what you think about the almost naval conflict that occurred between RAN vessels and IDF naval vessels north west of East Timor in 1999.
