The news is really dazzling these days, especially about drones. Do you know, the Ukrainian side is making a big move now, I heard that they are going to engage in 300,000 drones in one go! It's not a joke, is it? Think about it, 300,000, this number sounds numb.
And, more interestingly, most of these drones are "made in China". Yes, you heard it right, it's the DJI we're familiar with.
I also saw on the Internet before that the Ukrainian Defense Procurement Agency seems to have bought 4,000 DJI drones for $14.48 million! This is just the beginning, they also have a big plan to buy 20,000 aircraft through a platform called Prozorro.
You may ask, what's so good about DJI's drones? You don't understand this, DJI's drones are cost-effective, and the performance is also great, compared to those drones in the United States that are so expensive that they are not necessarily easy to use, DJI's is really a "sweet treat" on the battlefield.
I've heard that even the UK is planning to buy a lot of DJI drones to support Ukraine, with a budget of $416 million!
That's kind of ironic, right? Haven't Western countries always been picky about Chinese things, why are they so actively buying Chinese drones now? Isn't this a slap in the face!
Moreover, they have always said that China supports Russia in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but now they themselves have shown their dependence on Chinese drones with their actions.
Speaking of drones, the role of this thing in modern warfare is really not covered. They can fly around in the sky, reconnoiter the enemy, and can also strike with missiles.
Ukraine has bought so many drones, and people with a discerning eye know at a glance that this is to improve their strength on the battlefield.
However, there are many drones, which is also quite worrying. What if one day it gets out of control and flies into someone else's airspace?
Or, if it is used to injure civilians by mistake, it will be a big deal. And, if this technology proliferates, won't the world become more and more insecure?
I still remember that I read some reports before that some of the DJI drones bought by Ukraine were used for surveying and mapping, and some also had thermal imaging cameras, which were suitable for night use.
These drones can fly for 45 minutes and can see an area of two square kilometers at a time. This technology, I have to say, is quite good.
However, we also need to be sober. The meaning behind the purchase of Chinese drones by Western countries is deep. This is not a simple business relationship, this is a war without gunpowder.
They use Chinese drones to support Ukraine, which in itself is quite interesting.
