It is always interesting to see how other middle and small powers in our region structure their militaries ⬇️ I came across this diagram in a really interesting Lowy Institute article about China's development of the Ream Naval Base in Cambodia. The paper 'analyses the factors leading Cambodia to seek closer defence relations with China, and specifically China’s assistance to modernise Ream Naval Base, along with the access rights that may entail'. I'll add the link in the comments. Australia's model of highly trained personnel in very small numbers is very different to the large scale land forces many countries in the Indo Pacific littoral field. Our technological and skill advantage has long been claimed as an offset to mass. That offset appears to be steadily eroding with the proliferation of precision and rapid adoption of the small, the smart and the many approach to warfare. Check out the scale of Thailand and Vietnam's artillery corps as well!

Partnership of convenience: Ream Naval Base and the #Cambodia–#China convergence While 🇨🇳 #China is pouring resources into Ream Naval Base, the West must continue to engage 🇰🇭 #Cambodia to counter Beijing’s influence in the kingdom. It is unlikely that Ream Naval Base in 🇰🇭 #Cambodia will be a Chinese military base or outpost such as the facility in 🇩🇯 #Djibouti fully operated by the People’s Liberation Army. However, 🇨🇳 #China could gain preferential access to the base or use its facilities there to collect intelligence against other states. The 🇰🇭 #Cambodia–🇨🇳 #China defence convergence is driven by differing motives. 🇰🇭 #Cambodia seeks a partner to modernise its military so it can meet perceived security threats from 🇹🇭 #Thailand and 🇻🇳 #Vietnam, while 🇨🇳 #China wants to expand its political influence and military reach in Southeast Asia. New political and military leadership in 🇰🇭 #Cambodia offers 🇦🇺 #Australia and other like-minded partners an opportunity to deepen defence relations with the kingdom to counter 🇨🇳 #China’s influence. https://lnkd.in/dCTmVgB7

CISSAJK Strategic Forecast | Research Officer Zohaib Altaf writes for Strategic Forecast on Rationale behind Pakistan's New Ship Launched Ballistic Missile Test Pakistan’s successful test of its indigenously developed Ship Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) marks a strategic leap in naval modernization, emphasizing precision to enhance maritime security and deterrence. With a range of 350 kilometers and the ability to strike land and sea targets, this missile demonstrates Pakistan’s focus on cost-effective defense. In stark contrast to India’s $72.6 billion defense budget—of which $13 billion goes to the Navy—Pakistan operates with a leaner $7.64 billion budget, allocating $821.9 million to its naval forces. This approach highlights Pakistan’s commitment to efficiency, leveraging advanced precision-guided systems as a credible deterrent without escalating to an arms race. By prioritizing precision and agility over fleet size, Pakistan strengthens its defense posture in a way that is both strategic and sustainable https://lnkd.in/ddPVwqnX
