US Military to Use Seized Chinese Drones in Drills

Floridas seized Chinese drones repurposed for U.S. military training: The largest counter-drone destruction event in U.S. history is set to take place next month, with over five hundred Chinese-made drones being used as targets. This move comes after Florida banned state agencies from using Chinese-made drones due to concerns about their ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The event, named Military Drone Crucible, will be hosted by the United States National Drone Association and will focus on counter-drone tactics, with service members using shotguns and other weapons to practice targeting the drones. The U.S. government is also increasingly scrutinizing Chinese drone manufacturers, with legislation signed last year that could potentially block companies like DJI from selling new drone models in the United States.
