Btw, did you know a "Made in China" mobile phone has 80%+ of its components imported from outside China?


Yet, the Chinese never degrade and disparage themselves as "we only assemble, we don't manufacture, we are a failure."


Such self-degrading behavior is an Indian thing due to low self-esteem and easy programming by political and geopolitical propaganda.
 
Regarding a certain company about which i had an emotional outbreak.
The U A S are leavened on questionable sub components sources from not so friendly nation across the border.

Flight controller is 'Indian' but oh wait that thing is just a repackaged COTS component.

Entire UI and pipeline is just open source stuff that has more backdoors and holes than Huawei

And that what I have been talking. We need to seriously deep dive into Indian Drone COTS manufacturer to see if its really IDDM or CDDMRII(Chinese Design Developed and Manufactured Relabeled In India)
