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.
