The German army will stop using Chinese-made drones due to security concerns, opting for European alternatives instead. This decision reflects growing worries among Western militaries about potential risks of sensitive data transmission to Beijing. Previously, Chinese drones were considered cost-effective for training and targeting, but now the focus is on enhancing technological sovereignty.
