War: Fakes attack on DJI
  • MediaMarkt, the largest electronics retailer in Germany, has removed drones made by DJI from its retail locations and its website amid allegations the Chinese company is leaking GPS data to the Russian military. DJI vehemently denies these reports

    And note how PetaPixel had been used by CIA (this guys intentionally NEVER linked to PV, for example)

    DJI has denied accusations that it is limiting the capabilities of drone technology used by the Ukrainian army after rumors spread on social media that the Chinese consumer drone manufacturer was throttling its AeroScope technology.

    AeroScope is DJI’s drone detection platform that can identify unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication links and gather information like flight status, paths, and other information in real-time.

    In short, it is a proprietary hardware and software solution that lets users track the movement of any DJI drone within a 10-kilometer radius. With an optional expansion, that range can be boosted to 50 kilometers and obtain key information about a drone in as little as two seconds. AeroScope works with all Phantom, Inspire, Mavic, and Spark series drones.

    On March 10, co-founder of the Blynk IoT platform Bolodymyr Shymanskyy tweeted an accusation that DJI was intentionally limiting the capabilities of AeroScope by the Ukrainian army, citing sources inside Ukraine. Shymanskyy never reveals any details about his sources.

    “According to the most recent reports from the Ukrainian army, the AeroScope technology is effectively turned off for Ukrainian operators,” Shymanskyy says. “In fact, while Russians have the technical capabilities to track Ukrainian DJI drone operators, the Ukrainian army can not do the same.”

    Can anyone tell me why China must aid Ukraine nationals?
