DJI is China's largest commercial drone manufacturer, where its products are selling well in many countries. They probably never thought that their drone would play a role in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and they didn't seem happy.
As reported, both the drones and DJI technology have been utilized by the Ukrainian and Russian parties. Ukraine used it for reconnaissance missions in which many civilian drone users took part in the action. Russia mainly uses DJI's technology known as AeroScope to track the position of Ukrainian drones.
"For more than 15 years, DJI was founded to explore new possibilities in drone technology. And with developments and advancements, our drones have helped make the world a better place," said a new statement from DJI.
DJI says its drones are used for positive things. With capable video and flight technology, DJI drones are used by content creators and other parties, for example to record rare species and other useful things.
"In doing so, we want to reinforce our long-held position, our products are made to improve lives and benefit the world, and we truly regret any use of our products to cause harm," they added.
They emphasized that DJI's products should not be used for military purposes at all. If they find out that their partners are selling DJI drones for military purposes, they say they will immediately cut off the business relationship.
"We will never accept the use of our products to cause harm," DJI added, as quoted by us from DroneDJ.
