People need to start distinguishing between the little quadcopters you can buy at walmart, and fucking reaper drones. Headlines like “China is selling drones to Russia” makes it seem like it isn’t a $150 drone bought off fucking aliexpress
That lack of distinction is 100% on purpose since China dominates the consumer drones market and they’re so versatile and capable that countries all over the world including the US buy DJI drones for military operations
This is referring to consumer level drones too right? Like DJI stuff?
Ukraine only has consumer drones, I don’t think they have any military drones
I thought they had some for some reason

Can blame China for giving every country “drones”
china dominates the consumer goods market, period. by these standards the chinese have been supplying every NATO war for the past 20 years.
smh revisionism has really gone too far
Gotta get that drones, man…
They do. They have Bayraktar drones.
I do agree that the lack of distinction is kind of stupid.

This would mean they still have some.
Pretty sure they have Baryraktar drones, purchased from Turkey, among other military drones.
I don’t think you can buy Bayraktar drones from your local general store…
