India banned Chinese drones. Army, CRPF, and BSF can’t stop using them

The post India banned Chinese drones. Army, CRPF, and BSF can’t stop using them appeared first on The Ken .

India has banned the use of Chinese-made drones by its security forces, despite the fact that the Chhattisgarh Police, CRPF, BSF, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and the Army all use drones from the Chinese company DJI. Despite government rules prohibiting foreign companies from participating in procurement, a complex system has developed to keep DJI drones in the hands of Indian security forces.

This includes a detailed questionnaire to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, which has gone unanswered. The ban has created an ecosystem to circumvent the restrictions, with multiple drone dealers and training centers involved.
