Poland has emerged as the largest buyer of drones from Taiwan, positioning itself as a key hub for Europe’s growing demand for non-Chinese defense technology, Bloomberg reported on September 25.

The country now accounts for nearly 60% of Taiwan’s drone exports, which surged to about $32 million through August this year—up from almost nothing in previous years. The United States ranks second, importing around $7 million worth over the same period.

Taiwanese drone manufacturer Ahamani confirmed that Polish demand is so strong it is planning to open a factory in the country, as reported by Bloomberg. The company also revealed that other international firms, including a major South Korean drone producer, have expressed interest in sourcing non-Chinese motors. ) on September 25.

          Yup, it’s a continous fight to keep ones rights and freedoms. Right wing crazies tend to accelerate away from ‘good’.

      Because we want to believe.

      Tbh i don’t, i just would love to be wrong but seeing all the shit we’ve done and still are doing? It is rough. Especially the cries for more military spending are driving me nuts. Having to forego any needed investments in the last decades only to have all that money ready as soon as the drums of war starting to beat fucking suuuuuuucks. I am not even american and still it is the same song.
