Chinese military exports to other countries

No, this is not posturing, just classic American corporate laziness/greed
Skydio is responsible for most of the lobbying to ban DJI from Government contracts at all levels (Federal, State, Municipal)
Spread all kinds of FUD on social media and through salespeople ("Did you want the CCP to spy on you while you're banging your side piece, state senator?")
Create a captive market, then raise the prices exorbitantly (Most of their drones are only available on a subscription plan costing 10's of thousands a year)
Find the cheapest solution to increase your profit margin (These batteries are sourced from Japan! It says "Made in China"... "TDK is a Japanese company IDGAF beyond that!"
How much does all of this cost? Corporate Lawyer 500K? Social Media Managers 80K?
A lot cheaper than trying to staff and build a battery plant in America.

Ask Deino, his personal experience with people in Janes is not that positive on the comptetency of their staff
Official Government of Pakistan account saying that China has offered Pakistan J-35s, KJ-500s and HQ-19s.
I believe Pakistan can obtain all these arms
What matters is the delivery date.
It will take at least several years for 40 J35s
The 40 J-35AEs even became less of a shock, what a twist.
The key problem here is exactly how many HQ-19 systems will be sold. Is it only going to be a few systems that only used to defend Islamabad, or there will be surfficient number of system that will defend most of Pakisiani strategic military and economy facilities that would completely alter the Indian-Pakistani nuclear balance.

Oh no of course, although there's some people saying that the J-35 will be at the next Pakistan Day parade which happens on 23 March, so that's less than a year for first delivery. But the main thing messing with me is the HQ-19. IDK I thought we'd be gunning for more SAM batteries. BMD isn't that effective at these short ranges and plus that thing is going to cost too much even with the plans the Chinese usually offer us.
