  • It is probable, but something tells me it’s consumer-grade too, without any special tinkering. On Chinese side, this issue is probably tightly controlled to keep profits flowing without getting into trouble. The only horse in this race for them is China itself and they keep the ideal distance to sit on both chairs: profits\influence and no sanctions.

    As I’ve read in russian own telegram channels, a lot of drone stuff that is prefered by the troops (and not MoD) is purchased by either troops themselves or by crowdfunding volounteers, so there’s a decentralized source of demand with too little influence to impact chinese producers. I’m pretty sure it’s just offbrand game consoles with preinstalled emulators and an SD card full of old games, there are lots of them under $100. Probably, they have a custom bare ROM with just what they need, as I did heard they have a custom firmware for Mavics.

    And when we come to MoD, I don’t think they’d make these figures visible. If anything, it’s more likely that the product is sold as ‘computer parts’ e.g. a working console without one screw that is screwed in locally. So they’d not show up on these charts even if it’s true. At least, that’s how ‘local production’ worked before with some GROUNDBREAKING INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS MoD showcased in autonomous vehicles and robotics department IIRC. Отвёрточное производство or ‘The screwdriver production’ is a name dedicated to just that, known well before even Crimea.

    I imagine a better variation of this meme where every next panel zooms in on the edge of a diagram, questioning, if there’s a 0.00001% of cops who aren’t bastards?, going to some subatomic level to conclude there aren’t, these two diagrams line up perfectly not to create such niche.
