The Germans "separated" from the Chinese UAVs.
The German armed forces have banned the use of commercial drones and Chinese-made equipment at military facilities and training grounds due to the risk of data leaks.
According to Der Spiegel, the command fears that drones, including DJI, could transmit exercise footage, images of bases and information about weapons systems to the Chinese intelligence services. The German Ministry of Defense confirmed that Chinese devices are no longer used, and the existing ones will be replaced by German or European ones.
Previously, as part of the "UAV Development Strategy" until 2024, the Bundeswehr compiled a "white list" of models that could be bought in regular stores. This included DJI products. The German army purchased thousands of these UAVs.
