Sad to read this. Their OccuSync tech is really good and us/europe has nothing approaching its capabilities. Maybe someone will finally wake up and create a competitive fpv video system

Seems fair game to me considering the West is supplying Ukraine with sophisticated NLAW missiles, anti-aircraft weapons, and presumably military intelligence too considering spy planes that are constantly flying over Romania and Poland. It proves that anything Chinese-made shouldn't be used by any military... drones, tyres, etc

  Euh, Russia is bringing in other nationalities ( eg. Syria, ... ) and CSTO now ( but eg. Kazakhstan denied ) Russia invaded and started a war. Russia is threatening with nukes. I would say that supplying arms like was done in the past and Russia was going in other countries isn't even relevant. It's Ukranians, a recent new democracy that needs help fending of a bully that thinks it's own the right to occupy the country because it's in it's "sphere of influence". While obviously Ukrainians are currently fighting for their life against that influence and "historical bounds". Ps. Russia didn't think those bound where that important in Turkmenistan in the past. So they are not really consistent either.

  Yeah, because Ukraine defending itself, and Russia invading are morally equivalent actions, right? I don't see hospitals getting bombed in Russia right now. The chicoms are just showing their true colors here by supporting the actions of Putin.

    What part suggests I support the actions of Putin?

      There are no legitimate targets of Russian aggression. The only legitimate thing for Russia to do is to pull out, apologize, and pay reparations.

Suddenly the whole upheaval about Huawei hardware in 5g networks doesn't seem so paranoid anymore.

Evidence please. This is a huge accusation to make. I find this difficult to believe as surely for military deployment of commercial drones step #1 is disconnect it from any outside network and disable phone-home.

Time to do to them what was done to Huawei.
