More and more online and normal stores in Europe are removing DJI-products from their shelves because teports say that DJI-drones are used by Russia in Ukraine.

Where do you see this happening?

Where do you see this happening?

Major TV networks and newspapers brought the news that some of the biggest electronics- stores and general  onlinestores like Bol.com, Mediamarket and other big EU stores are “taking DJI-products from their shelves” till “ more clarity was available about DJI’s role in the war in Ukraine”

Sometimes retailers have knee jerk reactions, but honestly I don't see this being a long term issue.  Consumers that want the best will keep seeking out DJI.  

yeah i can see this happening in some place where the propaganda takes hold.  we might have a lot of fake news here in america but nobody is going to believe dji is working with the russians.

only when it reaches the point china as a country picks a side then we might have problems.

Well in that case, we definitely have problems...

A Western intelligence report indicates that Chinese officials had some level of direct knowledge about President Vladimir V. Putin’s war plans or intentions.

I don't think so because that particular bit of news is quite old and has been on the news since the war started.

That might get approval at a MAGA cult rally, but in the rest of the world, NYT is highly respected for the quality of their journalism.

"Because the drone manufacturer DJI is accused of passing on location data from Ukrainian armed forces to Russia, Media Markt and Saturn have removed the group's products from their range.
DJI denies."

I found this at: https://beta.t-online.de/digital ... on-dji-drohnen.html

Headline:
Media Markt and Saturn stop selling DJI drones

No apparent problem in the UK.

UK isn’t EU anymore

UK isn’t EU anymore

Don't remind me
This time last year I was happily living in France.

Doesn't appear to be happening in the UK to any main retailer.

Anyone looking to take drones down another level and go viral doing it will use the conflict.  Its bs, leave our drones alone.  A tire was used in a war, lets stop making those damn tires!

The UK may not be in the  EU  any more, but it is still part of Europe. Or are the maps all wrong?
