This is not true. Even though drones are assembled domestically, both sides get components like chips, motors, batteries etc from China.



Most of the drones, sure, but they also have a low-level (a few thousands per month) production of those with almost no China-origin components - only Ukrainian or Western made. They are still pricier than all-China though, at almost $1000 per (night vision) FPV drone able to carry 2kg.

Only really hard-to-replace part is magnets for electric motors.
