Скачать или смотреть FCC USA Ban over DJI Drones - Podcast

The global landscape for drone pilots is shifting rapidly as a "transatlantic debate" erupts over technology dominance and national security. In this video, we break down the 2025 U.S. ban on new Chinese-made drones and contrast it with the European Union’s regulatory strategy.
In this video, we explore:
• The American Ban: On December 23, 2025, the FCC barred the import and sale of new models from DJI and Autel, citing them as an "unacceptable risk to U.S. national security" due to fears of surveillance and data exfiltration. We clarify that this ban is forward-looking and does not affect drones you already own.
• The European Counterpoint: Unlike the U.S., the EU is choosing regulation over prohibition. We discuss the Italian Competition Authority's (AGCM) investigation into DJI regarding "resale price maintenance" and the proposed "European Drone Defence Initiative" to build a continental "drone wall".
• Market Reality & The Price Gap: DJI currently commands 70% of the global commercial drone market. We look at the staggering reality that U.S.-made alternatives often cost three to four times more than comparable DJI models, creating a massive budget crisis for public safety agencies.
• The Economic "Sting": With DJI supporting an estimated $116 billion in U.S. economic activity, a survey suggests that 67% of small drone businesses could be forced to close without access to these tools.
• The Missing Transition Plan: While the U.S. has authorized a $901 billion military budget for 2026, there is currently no federal plan to provide grants or incentives to help commercial operators transition to compliant, more expensive hardware.
Whether you are a professional photographer, a first responder, or a hobbyist, understanding this "Global Drone War" is essential for your future operations.
