Therefore, the TNI, Polri must have the courage to enter into things related to technology," Jokowi said in his remarks. "Warplanets need it. Yes. Tanks are necessary? Yes. But also be careful with drones," he continued. Jokowi then mentioned the attack of the United States drones which ultimately killed the commander of the elite Quds troops at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qasem Soleimani. "I remember that in 2020 January there was the use of drones which I was shocked to be so precise and so very accurate to pursue who they wanted," he said. The Jakarta Governor's execution then explained the incident in question was the attack of the United States drone that killed the commander of the elite Quds troops at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qasem Soleimani. "Acure to use face recognition. Finally shot and what we were shocked it happened in the Iraqi region but the drone was said to be controlled from Qatar. The United States Headquarters in Qatar," said Jokowi.

Thus, Jokowi assessed that the TNI and Polri must be able to be literate with technology. "Observe how the development of technology can change from conventional war to war that can be controlled remotely," he concluded.
