The price is irrelevant because this is will be purchased with government dollars. This drone is not for you and me; it is intended to be used against you and me.

Just read the actual product page. They are targeting military, law enforcement, and surveillance applications. These guys have a heading on their product page titled "paramilitary," for fuck's sake.

That's the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as "national security".

DJI gets designated as a threat to national security

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

You can bet on that.

And you cannot be sure whether it's justified or not :)

Taking design cues from the flying dildo, I see.
