> I get that we are trying to bolster domestic tech but this is a stick when it should be a carrot.

It's not either-or, it should be both.

Won’t DJI’s current offerings still be available? I bought a Phantom 4 Pro 5 years ago that I use for mapping and it still does the job. I would expect that Enterprise drones would work the same way. Sure we’re not going to get the next new better faster model so in that scenario it does give time for a domestic company to engineer an offering.

Look up thread, everything, including batteries is now banned. You might be able to keep your drone but good luck getting any parts.

By the way, nobody makes consumer drone batteries in the US that I know of.

Is that what we are trying to do? Does that seem like the most likely plan being executed here?
