As a leading and responsible exporter of civilian drones, China must restrict the export of civilian long-range UAV technology to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands. Export control has become necessary due to frequent reports that civilian drones have been converted into military use on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield.
Restricting the export of these UAVs is long overdue from Beijing. Quadcopters have been a concern for the Pentagon since early in the Ukrainian war. Despite a widespread Western pressure campaign intended to restrain Russia’s ability to continue the war, the Kremlin has effectively been using these PRC-made drones to target Ukrainian forces, smuggled into Russia by third parties.
