Yeah, with parts from China...but that's banned too.

Homegrown factories and supply chains don't just pop up overnight though. So in the near term this just means zero drones and a disorderly transition.

Intentionally triggering that only really makes sense if you think a major confrontation is imminent and chaos is an acceptable price to pay to force speed.

They're hard to develop. That is proven by the fact that DJI is by far the industry leader, and everyone else is trailing.

We're not talking about duct-taping a Go Pro to an OTS drone.
