alt Hacker News>If China makes better phones, it won't be long until they make better drones.
They already do. China makes the best drones. Most of the drones in the world, most of the drones use in wars, etc. are manufactured in China, or are comprised of mostly Chinese parts.
I'm referring to the ones that carry a Q designation, not the DJI kind. China hasn't yet caught up in that domain. Electric drones are seeing a lot of use in Ukraine and other conflicts, but they aren't helping to establish air superiority.
