1. What kind of insanity is this?
Indonesia is openly and officially hostile to Israel.
This is not a generally open-minded state that has been pressured into not having relations with Israel.
Count on Iran and Hizballah to have access to the drones within 3 months.
Let's also ask who the drones would be used AGAINST.

2. Get real
Iran is going to fly these drones to Israel?! Hama's is going to recieve them also? Where are they going to fly them out of? Gaza's airport?
Israel would just shoot them down!

3. You missed my point, Joe.
"Access" to the drones means obtaining first-class intelligence information about the drones' strengths and weaknesses. That's not helpful.
Note that Iran already has unmanned aircraft and is already supplying them to terrorists. Several were used by Hizballah (unsuccessfully) during the recent war.
The point is that Indonesia is not even remotely close to being a friend of Israel. Indonesia is not fighting an enemy of Israel. Why should Israel sell military equipment to Indonesia? Let Indonesia buy military hardware from someone else.

4. do not sell them the technology
let them persecute some papua new guineans (as they already do) and then extort the minerals through forced mining rights and fund the operation themselves

5. Indon wants to spy on Singapore
which like Israel is also surrounded by idiots. Ironically, S'pore has good relationship with Israel

6. They want to have their cake and eat it too
Typical muslims. They want to bash Jews and Israel but at the same time enjoy the benefits of their accomplishments. I say Israel should not allow this deal to happen. Or maybe plant some tracking equipment in their drones and use it to spy on them. Indonesia cannot be trusted.

8. Israeli drones for Indonesia
Actually, Indonesia, maybe in cooperation with a foreign partner, could have developped their own drone. I saw some prototypes in Jakarta, maybe 8 years ago.
Their engineers have the capabilities to study and design the concept and their aircraft industry can manufacture the finished product.
Indonesia needs surveillance patrols to fight against piracy and infiltration of illegal immigrants in the framework of fighting terrorisme.
