China has announced major changes to its drone export rules, starting September 1.
— The new restrictions cover high-precision parts like inertial measuring units, synthetic-aperture radar, and engines with more than 16 kilowatts of power, as well as wireless communication systems with a range greater than 50 kilometers (31 miles).
— Also, consoles capable of controlling more than 10 drones simultaneously and drone jammers with an effective range over 5 kilometers will be restricted.
— However, China will ease some temporary export restrictions on consumer drones.
— Although China denies that its drones are being used in the Ukraine conflict, there are reports and evidence suggesting that they are being used there.
