Chinese DJI Drones Play Concerning Role in Ukraine, US

A popular Chinese-manufactured drone that the Ukrainian government has worked to clear from its skies due to fears it's benefited the invading Russians also represents a grave threat to the American homeland, where sellers continue to offer the drones – despite concerns from both the Trump and Biden administrations.

The Chinese company, DJI, has been for years the leading maker of small, consumer-grade drones in the United States – and around the globe. Although its market share has dropped significantly with the re-introduction of American drone company Autel, DJI's 54% is still a pretty solid share.
