Considering that indonesia can barely field
a capable military and the
rest in SE asia have small militaries, who
are these cruise missiles
directed against


Indonesia has recently started ordering Su-27/30's
from Russia

China perhaps? Could it be in response to
countries in the region buying
Su-27/30 long range strike planes?


Yes like Indonesia

My guess is that US arms merchants are looking
to do brisk business in SE
Asia but not finding any opportunities. So
get australia to start an arms
race in the region (?)


Your guess would be wrong, the Australians have
legitimate
concerns. Indonesia has never been exactly stable
and
that situation isnt improving.

If Indonesia splits up-look out big time for trouble. Lots of it.
Terrorism, piracy, etc. The Aussies' concerns are not unfounded and any big-time
trouble brings in other powers-for Freedom of Navigation at least, and counterterrorism
as well.
