Developing in a Twitter thread, user @vshymanskyy claims the following:-
According to recent reports from Ukraine, the Chinese drone producer @DJIGlobal have limited the capabilities of its “Aeroscope” technology for Ukrainian army, giving a significant air reconnaissance edge to Russian invaders.
Though Russians are using Aeroscope hardware, they use the technology to track the drone operators’ positions in order to target their artillery/rocket fire. In other words, Russians use DJI technology to kill Ukrainian drone operators.
Adam [email protected] This is FALSE. Some units in Ukraine are malfunctioning, and we’ve been trying to diagnose the problem to get them fixed.
So at very least we now know for certain both sides are using Aeroscope in the Ukrainian conflict. Adam is DJI’s spokesperson in the USA.
Just last week Aerovironment sent out press releases proclaiming that they sell more military sUAS than anyone else.
I bet DJI would disagree
If this thread becomes viral, it will if nothing else serve to show end-users that they can easily be tracked.
