“Over the past seven months, a hobby drone #shop in #WesternSydney has sold about $250,000 of drone parts to the Department of Defence (#ADF). Australian drone shops also send drones to #Ukraine for use in the war. #Australian #civilian drone racers — the type of people who thread small drones through courses of flags and hoops down at the local park — were headhunted in 2023 to teach #soldiers in #Jordan how to pilot their drones.
At least one #HobbyShop owner said he ignored drone orders from #Iran before the current war, suspecting the #drones would be used militarily.”
