Germany reportedly bans Chinese drones at military bases over security concerns

Germany has prohibited the use of Chinese-made drones at its military bases due to security risks, following similar actions by the US and Poland. Concerns have risen over the potential for these technologies to transmit sensitive information to China. The ban, effective immediately, affects drones acquired with limited oversight, as there is no central record of purchases. Local commanders previously had the authority to buy these drones. The US military has also banned Chinese vehicles from its bases, citing unacceptable risks. European officials are urging assessments of Chinese technology's security implications, particularly regarding BYD vehicles. BYD has denied any data access from China.
