HEAD TO HEAD

Indonesia vs Russia

Verdict

Russia holds a 74–26 advantage over Indonesia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.

The margin is driven by military spending (93% of the combined total, $190bn) and economic size (GDP) (61% of the combined total, $2.2tn).

1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
