sequence
China's drone technology is developing rapidly, and it has a decisive influence in the world, selling well all over the world, and even in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Not to be outdone, the United States has vigorously developed its own drone technology, which has also been used in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, but in the eyes of the front-line Ukrainian army, American drones are not easy to use at all, and they are completely inferior to Chinese products.
Although the United States has always been known for its top level of science and technology, but in the field of UAVs, the United States has obviously lost completely, and its reputation exploded directly.
So what is wrong with the US drones, which has led to the Ukrainian army's complaints? What are the advantages of China's drones?
The United States does not work, China does it
In the field of general-purpose UAVs, China and the United States are almost on the same starting line, both from scratch, is a fair competition in the true sense, judging from the current results, the United States has been opened up by China.
Many domestic UAV companies have risen rapidly, and related industries and technologies have soon ranked among the top in the world, and then even directly ahead, standing out in the fierce competition in the UAV industry, leaving American companies a few streets.
Among them, the products of AVIC, DJI and other enterprises are the most famous, and the drones produced have been sold all over the world, accounting for a large proportion of the global UAV market, and domestic enterprises have become leaders in this field.
Because the UAV has the characteristics of lightweight, not easy to detect, so it is also widely used in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, in the Xi'an war, all the characteristics of the UAV can be infinitely amplified, and soon received the attention of both Russia and Ukraine, and began to use UAVs in a large area.
However, the use of drones in such a large area will naturally lead to a tight supply chain, in this situation of short supply, the United States sees business opportunities and wants to get a piece of the pie, but the competitiveness of American drones is insufficient, and it is difficult to be selected.
But after all, the United States has given Ukraine so much help, these problems are naturally not worth mentioning, and American drones can naturally come to the hands of the Ukrainian army.
Originally, the United States wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show off its drone technology, and at the same time be able to compete for some markets for its own products, but the Ukrainian army is not a fool, after such a long time of actual combat, whether it is good to use the Ukrainian army's heart is like a mirror.
Ukraine's front-line soldiers can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, in their eyes, American-made drones are very difficult to use, and they are often complained about by the Ukrainian army.
The United States is proud of the products that want to show off, but they do not perform well in the actual combat application of the Ukrainian army, and the reputation of the drones produced by itself has exploded.
Compared with the UAVs of the United States, the UAVs of Chinese companies have obvious advantages, and the reputation of the Ukrainian army is also very good.
In many key local conflicts, it can be said that if there are no Chinese drones, then it is absolutely impossible for Ukraine to gain an advantage, and being able to get an advantage from the hands of the Russian army is enough to prove that the performance of domestic drones is outstanding.
Since the United States has a very high level of science and technology, why does the reputation of American drones be so poor? Why can China's drones be loved by the Ukrainian army?
The gap between Chinese and American UAVs is obvious
In fact, the Ukrainian army feels that the United States' drones are difficult to use is not groundless, just imagine, after all, the United States has helped Ukraine a lot, and the Ukrainian army has to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, but the Ukrainian army still insists on saying so, it seems that the American drone is indeed difficult to use, and it has reached the point where it is beyond measure.
In the mouth of the Ukrainian army, the difficulty of using American drones is mainly reflected in one aspect, that is, poor signal, for special equipment such as drones, the signal is equivalent to the life of the drone, and the poor signal will naturally lead to the "death" of the drone.
If the signal is cut off, it means that the drone is scrapped and it is difficult to have a chance to reconnect.
Now that Ukraine and Russia are in conflict, both sides will definitely try their best to gain an advantage, and after drone warfare, electronic warfare is also one of the usual methods of modern warfare.
The use of electronic warfare can easily deal with UAVs, and senior officials of US UAV companies also bluntly said that their own company's UAVs are not easy to use in front-line warfare, and the reason for this phenomenon is electronic warfare.
Russia's technology is more advanced, and it can use electronic signal jamming to hinder the transmission of drone signals, even if it has GPS, Russia can still block GPS signals.
Therefore, the American drones with poor signals are naturally dumb and lose face for the United States on the battlefield in Ukraine, compared with American drones, Chinese-made drones are deeply loved by Ukraine.
China's drones are generally cheaper, with strong performance and very stable use, while American-made drones are expensive, even if the quality is not good, small problems continue, and there is no way to repair them if they fail, and the cost of use has increased greatly.
Ukraine still has a clear grasp of which is right and which is wrong, and has begun to use a large number of Chinese drones, although DJI has repeatedly emphasized that it will not sell drones to wartime countries and prohibits the use of drones in war.
But to be honest, there are many ways to circumvent DJI's ban by purchasing DJI products through private companies or shell companies, and it is difficult for DJI to control every company.
The Ukrainian army's obsession with Chinese drones has reached this level, and it is enough to prove the strength of domestic drones.
epilogue
The front-line Ukrainian army has rich experience in actual combat, and it is naturally well aware of the situation of drones, and the credibility is very high, and even the CEO of an American company admits that his own drone is not easy to use, and it makes no sense for the United States to explain anything.
As early as 2017, the U.S. military had banned DJI drones, but sales can't deceive people, and under the suppression and sanctions of the United States, DJI's proportion in the United States is getting higher and higher.
The United States is not giving up, and in 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce also stood up and included DJI in the "control list".
Judging from the evaluation of the current Ukrainian army, the United States has made a mistake in this move, and restricting DJI has not allowed the United States to overtake in the corner, but has become more and more unable to keep up with the pace and has been thrown away by DJI.
Those who pretend to be asleep will never be able to wake up, but I believe that sooner or later, the United States will realize its mistake and rejoin the torrent of economic globalization!
