NEW DELHI: Security experts and drone industry members have raised concerns over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's use of a Chinese-made DJI drone that is banned in India and often used by drug smugglers along India's borders and de facto borders.

Gandhi on Saturday uploaded a 9.15-minute video titled "Industrial Vision for India" on social media, showing him flying what he described as a Chinese-made DJI drone. In the video, he said drone technology is changing warfare and cited Ukraine as an example. He criticized the BJP government for failing to grasp this technology that combines batteries, cameras, motors and optics to revolutionize warfare.

Security personnel said nearly 70-80% of drones sent by Pakistan-based narco-terrorists are DJI-made. The same drones were used by militants in Manipur for surveillance during ethnic clashes, with the Army and Assam Rifles shooting down at least 18 such drones last year.
