People need to start distinguishing between the little quadcopters you can buy at walmart, and fucking reaper drones. Headlines like "China is selling drones to Russia" makes it seem like it isn't a $150 drone bought off fucking aliexpress

They do. They have Bayraktar drones.

I do agree that the lack of distinction is kind of stupid.

However, a year later, nearly all of them are believed to have been shot down by Russian forces.

The remaining killer drones are now reduced to reconnaissance duties, an expert said.

This would mean they still have some.
