According to a contract signed in 2017, the Indonesian Air Force is purchasing four Wing Loong I medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles (MALE UAVs) manufactured by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
This platform is capable of reconnaissance, surveillance, and meteorological operations. In 2014, the Chinese Air Force displayed the Wing-Loong with its full range of weapon systems and optics showing its capabilities to conduct combat missions.
Upon entering the Indonesian Air Force, the four new drones will be operated by Squadron 51 (Skadron Udara 51) which is based near the city of Pontianak in West Kalimantan. The unit already operates unmanned aircraft systems for surveillance missions.
