The State Department is mulling the sale of armed drones to Indonesia, but concerns over human rights abuses and the country’s past purchases of Russian equipment have set off a debate inside the Biden administration over approving the move, according to government and defense industry officials.
The Indonesian government wants a new package of armed drones as it modernizes its fleet of aging fighter planes, though the country has cast a wide and tangled net as it claims to be considering new planes from Russia, South Korea, France and the United States.
Jakarta's request to purchase armed MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones, which was confirmed by three people both in government and with ties to the defense industry, comes as Washington is also considering selling Qatar four MQ-9B Predator drones. The proposed sale to Qatar was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, but the debate over selling armed drones to Indonesia has not previously been reported.

"There is also uncertainty over whether Indonesia has the appropriate regulatory processes in place to protect U.S.-made technology, and whether the government could support high-end technology over the long-term. The Indonesian Embassy did not respond to a request for comment, and a State Department spokesperson said the agency does not discuss internal deliberations over potential arms sales."

It show on old andhika perkasa's youtube vidDon't know if the Gray Eagle request is intended for the Air Force or the Army.
From Wiki:
The AH-64E Apache attack helicopter is the first Army rotorcraft with purpose-built MUM-T technology, allowing pilots to remotely control a Gray Eagle, extending the Apache's reach by using the Gray Eagle's sensors and weapons from the helicopter cockpit. Tests demonstrated that the Apache's engagement range increases with MUM-T as the Gray Eagle can designate targets outside the helicopter's own targeting system range, increasing survivability, and potentially needing fewer helicopters as their effectiveness is increased with the inclusion of Gray Eagle. An Apache can control a Gray Eagle and access its sensors and weapons from up to 70 mi (110 km) away.
It's our own fault, and it'll keep haunt us for foreseeable future. So, don't do HR abuse anymore.Of course, the classic high-horse narrative of 'concerns over human rights abuses'
yup, the military does have a HR problem.It's our own fault, and it'll keep hunt us for foreseeable future. So, don't do HR abuse anymore.

This one was very bad tho, not only for Indonesia, but also for the so-called ABRI Merah-Putih, because the Pangdam Udayana then was Sintong Panjaitan. They were easier to be dumped by so-called ABRI Hijau during de-beni-sasi.Santa Cruz incident
