Just change the payload from an LED bulb with a explosives. Ukraine literally wiped out a huge portion of the Russian bomber fleet with drones hiding inside truck containers parked outside Russian air bases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spiderweb
China could do the same and easier against US ones since millions of containerships arrive from China everyday carrying "toys".

and he later went on live tv and said
"we force russia into the negotiation table"
and a day later when naturally the talks didnt happen because of this he blamed russia

Well you see when you sell off you're hi tech manufacturing base for more profit, the country offshored to gets to play with, and gain experience in, hi-tech manufacturing. Whereas your country gets better barista's and a less skilled population.
I'm already learning Mandarin, aren't you?

Multi-copters became possible when several technologies got light enough and cheap enough.
The first was perhaps 6 and later 9 degrees of freedom MEMS (silicon) sensors (gyro, acceleration, magnetics). Early helicopter models required too much work to fly, but these sensors combined with cpus made multicopters 'fly by wire'
The second was a rechargable and light battery chemistry (Lithium Polymer batteries) which allow a multicopter to fly for a useful amount of time.
The third was brushless motor controllers which allowed for the creation of high power, but light, motors that were also efficient.
Some will also add high power SoCs (embedded 32 bit computers of 'cell phone class') but early multicopters were powered by 8bit controllers so I'm not sure that this is as important as the other three.
The things that are common to all of them, lightness and energy efficiency, these made the multicopter possible and as the price has been driven down with mass production for these parts it has made them easy to obtain for a big enough market. (and that is a positive feedback loop, the market grows, the quantity increases, the price goes down, the market grows ...)

I really want to visit Shenzhen.
A whole city devoted to actually making shit.
And very few barriers, no boomers refusing to even quote you a price on having a pcb made or a part milled unless you talk to their sales rep.

Different peiorities.
Europeans invest in feeding+housing Arab rapists, Americans invest in Israel, Chinese invest in drone tech.

China keep doing it. They invented canon powder first and used it for... Fireworks.
I'm pretty sure if they invent miniblack hole weapons BFG 6000 they'll obly use it for entertainement purposes.

That does not count all the brown people with German citizenship btw. There are no statistics on those, in fact that would be illegal.
