Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've been doing it repeatedly lately. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I'm so glad there's other American drone manufacturers that cater to the consumer market, like Skydi-oh right, they stopped making consumer drones after the successes in forcing DJI out of the market.

and their mil drones are subpar

>drones from the American company Skydio proved ineffective in Ukraine [notably, a Skydio drone was used by the U.S. Army to drop a combat grenade for the first time], as they were unreliable in front-line interference conditions.

>The problems with Skydio drones in Ukraine were reported last year, and the manufacturer acknowledged the poor quality of its products.

>According to Alex, a key issue with today's low-quality products is the "information gap among many European and American manufacturers about current battlefield conditions and the timing of when they receive this information."

>Some of the most effective ones have included the German-made Vector drones and Polish-made FlyEye drones.

You're comparing apples to oranges here. The USA is supposed to be capitalistic, free market, yada yada. China doesn't make that claim.

The main point the comment you replied to is trying to make is that the US doesn't put their money where their mouth is.

No. But which nation claims to be all about freedom, and which is known for restricting individual liberties for (whatever the people in charge consider to be) the greater good?

It's really silly to judge nations on their claims rather than their outcomes.

PRC restricts guns ownership, but to make your example less stupid, PRC shooting ranges has access to western pattern arms vs US where civies has more freedom to own guns but you know... not sanctioned Chinese origin guns. So even on muh 2nd amendment grounds, PRC within their right to play with guns (again not own), still less protectionist than US. Which mirrors how you know, almost every major US tech brands operated in PRC with reasonable controls/oversight but not vice versa.

Please don't cross into nationalistic flamewar, and please don't use someone else's personal details as ammunition in an argument. Not allowed here.
