India holds a 73–27 advantage over Indonesia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (86% of the combined total, $92.1bn) and economic size (GDP) (74% of the combined total, $3.9tn). Indonesia leads on logistics & power projection.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
