15 November 2025: King Abdullah II and Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto attended a joint drone military exercise in Jakarta. Princess Salma and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad also attended the exercise.
Conducted jointly by the King Abdullah II Royal Special Forces and their Indonesian counterparts, the exercise focused on utilising drones to support ground operations.
The drill showcased the advanced capabilities of Jordanian-made drones—particularly first-person view (FPV) drones—for reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision targeting without endangering troops.
The exercise is part of efforts to enhance military cooperation between the Special Forces of Jordan and Indonesia, develop joint operational capabilities, and enhance capacities to effectively neutralise multiple threats while ensuring land and airspace security.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, and Director of the Office of His Majesty Alaa Batayneh were also in attendance.

“Prince Ghazi of Jordan is King Abdullah II’s Chief Advisor for Religious and Cultural Affairs. He seems like a religious man, compared to his more westernised cousins. I wonder what he thinks of his mother, Princess Firyal, and her super open lifestyle. Firyal was sued by her former companion (who was ill) Lionel Pincus’ sons by spending a lot of money to decorate a $50 million, 14-room duplex in New York. I imagine her family probably weren’t proud of seeing her to be involved in such scandal.” - Submitted by Anonymous
