I had a back forth with someone from ml earlier today about this article, a post they have since deleted. These drones must have been bought between the July 31, 2023 export restrictions on drone tech and the July 2024 adjustments to those restrictions. The drones do not drop bombs, they have a universal mechanism that can drop anything and Israel has created a mechanism to attach to that universal mechanism to drop grenades.
As it stands now China will not ship these drones to Israel. According to Autel, they have banned the sale of their drones to the entire region. They've made two statements on the matter. Here:
DJI has a similar statement pre 2023:
On Amazon and other platforms you can not get these drones shipped to Israel:
In the 9 months between the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the adjustments to drone exports Israel bought ~~20,000~~ Chinese made drones (likely through consumer channels) and also relied on civilian donations of drones.
The timeline on this purchase is unclear. It's also unclear if the changes to the export restrictions are a response to this purchase.
correction: Israel intends to buy 20,000 Israeli made drones.
From everything I've read and seen there isn't currently direct sales of drones from China to Israel.
Good research, comrade.
Waow, cool facts. But have you considered:
China... BAD???
Stuck between the
"China must directly wage war with an entity backed by the ruling classes of Europe and the US with an infinite budget and commit its billion+ population to an uncertain, nuclear war."
and the
"China must sanction Israel even though sanctions have historically never succeeded in their intended goal and only drive the sanctioned party to pursue other means such as Israel having a blank check to do whatever they want and can always ask for more."
and the
"China should build military bases in resistance nations in West Asia even though none of them asked or even desired for one to be built"
Well well well looks like I am a bit late to post this lol
I love that they flat out admitted they weren't going to read your evidence.
They eventually did, to be fair.
It feels like a rare gem, like, they even updated the thread, then deleted it... I didn't know that could happen in the internet!
Yep, it was a good thread, with useful info. I'm happy you got another chance to post the research you did!
"We didn't design our drones to drop bombs, we designed them to drop... you know... the wide variety of things drones are known to drop, like... uh..."
Package delivery, food, emergency supplies, fire suppressants, surveying equipment.... It's strange that you can't think of any practical uses for a drone dropping mechanism aside from weapons
I bought my Cutco knife from a yard sale to slice my veggies and my enemies, Cutco is complicit in my crimes!
Your analogy doesn't work. The knife's primary purpose is for food.
The primary purpose for a drone that can drop things is to drop bombs.
It's more like making a sword and saying it's totally not designed for killing anyone, it's for cutting anything you want.
When I buy a knife I decide it's primary purpose. Personally I ship them into the UK to vagrants who use them for self defense in the subways.
those drones could deliver pizzas to bedroom windows.
any fucking thing you design a drone to do is going to be used for weapons.
Toyota should be marketing their pickups as "Lightweight, Tactical, improvised fighting vehicles".
Is this a reference to all the toyotas that found themselves on the side of ISIS lol
Lol yes.
they could make bank on a machine gun mount that 99% of their customers would never use
