Let's pay twice: how China's ban will be marked with drones at the military potential of Ukraine and the Russian Federation

The Chinese authorities have explained the decision protection of national security and interests against the backdrop of escalation of tensions in relations with the United States through access to technology. The ban will affect civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be adapted to military needs. These include drones of 7 kg with a flight duration of more than half an hour and the ability to discharge cargoes, as well as equipment and engines on the ground.

The full list of restrictions is not given, writes Associated Press. Some of the prohibitions get drones of the Mavic 3 line or matrice from the DJI manufacturer. They are often used by the Armed Forces and Russian invaders on the front. DJI Mavic 3 can fly more than 40 minutes, and Matrice 300 RTK raises a payload weighing more than 9 kg. Drones will only be supplied abroad after receiving a special export license.

It is known that in April 2022, DJI Technology Co declared exit from Russia and Ukraine so that its drones were not used in hostilities. US lawmakers have stated that more than 50% of drones in the United States are produced by the Chinese company DJI - technologies use public safety services. And in March last year, DJI was accused of leakage of data in Russia about the position of the Armed Forces. The company called the arguments "absolutely false", Reuters said.

Beijing is afraid that UAVs will be used for military purposes. According to the Office of the Director of the US National Intelligence, by the spring of 2023, China put the Russian Federation drones and components for them for $ 12 million. And since the beginning of this year, Moscow has spent $ 100 million on civilian drones from China. The Droneua project co -founder Valery Yakovenko indicated in the focus comment to the lack of data which drones were forbidden to export.

Therefore, to predict how the ban will affect the military potential of Ukraine - early and wrong. "So far, it is about technical characteristics and not a ban, but about additional export control. We are dealing with documentary restrictions on the removal of drones from mainland China. We have encountered this before the Great War. Exported control, received permits. The process continues from two up to four months and concerns the consignment of goods, "he said.

According to Yakovenko, a certain shortage of technical solutions and partial rises of UAV prices are waiting for the world. "Between Russia and China there are blurred borders. A large amount of equipment goes beyond customs control. How rigidly the ban for the Russian Federation will be executed only on China's power. Beijing introduces the same level of export control for all.

Due to blurred borders in northern China and close Ladies with the third country - Belarus, drones can continue to export, "he summed up. Announced by the Chinese authorities the ban on the export of civilian drones from September 1 can lead to an increase in prices and a deficiency of drones in the Russian Federation for several years. Participants and experts of the Russian market are convinced that the agrarian and geodetic sectors will be affected first.

"Fatal consequences for the sector of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation will not cause. Parallel imports worked, operates and will work. Prices for both imported components and for the devices in the Russian market" will grow somewhat ", - said the newspaper" Kommersant "founder" Nikita Danilov's Flai Dron "Aeroth". Most Russian consumers and manufacturers depend on Chinese components. Their ban will hit the market greatly.

"Russian drones contain up to 90% of Chinese components, this is a major dependence. We will get what came out in the car industry: Chinese "Moskvich" with the Russian Swild for a double price ", - said the founder of Runavia Service Andriy Patrakov. Focus wrote earlier about the resignation of former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of China and expert in Russia. Role in the formation of Beijing and Moscow relations.
