Most of these high tech drones are from DJI (check out the Agra lineup).
You know who has great use for that? US farmers.
Instead they get an all-out ban on DJI and they’re stuck with provider-locked John Deere tractors.
I really don’t understand how easy it can be to fool the American public just by saying “national security”, even when it’s clear that large parts of the public will not be best served by Washington’s “China bad!!!” policies.

The majority of the public do not own or fly drones. The government has bigger concerns than a few people getting burnt on their DJI purchase.
Disposable drones are the future of warfare. Would you really want to subsidize China's ability to develop and manufacture them? While also letting China collect data from drones flying over your country? Better to rip that bandaid off sooner rather than later imo.
