Australia and Indonesia have pulled off the largest, most complex war-games exercise ever conducted between the two defence forces with an amphibious landing on an east Java beach, days after Russia hailed its own first modest naval drills with our near-neighbour.

The show of joint military force, dubbed Keris Woomera, involved 2000 army, navy and air force personnel, Australian warships and F16 fighter jets, Apache and Tiger helicopters, Abrams tanks, landing craft and plenty of explosions, highlighting a military relationship in rude health off the back of an upgraded Defence Co-operation Agreement.

The four-day exercises, which culminate in live-fire drills on Saturday, were 18 months in the planning but could not have been better timed given growing concerns over the impact of Indonesian President Prabowo Subian-to’s foreign policy approach.
