Stringent framework finalised to ensure drones don't have Chinese parts
India’s defense officials have just locked down strict new rules to make sure any drones bought by the military don’t contain Chinese-made parts. The system will involve rigorous testing and certifications before drones are cleared for use. This comes as the military ramps up drone purchases and tensions along the border underscore the risks of relying on tech that could be compromised.
Editor’s Note: Drones are becoming a bigger part of modern warfare, but if they’re built with components from geopolitical rivals, they could be vulnerable to hacking or sabotage. India’s move isn’t just about tech—it’s a strategic step to reduce dependence on China while tightening national security. For everyday readers, it’s a reminder of how global tensions shape even the unseen details, like which screws and chips end up in military gear.
