  • Silicon Valley Drone Makers EXPOSED: China Controls Critical Military Tech

    America’s most advanced military drones — built right here in Silicon Valley — are dangerously reliant on Chinese-made parts. Skydio and Shield AI, two U.S. defense leaders, are now struggling to maintain production after China cut off battery and component exports.

    Despite billions in defense contracts, these companies can’t fully function without tech from our biggest rival. The risk? National security and battlefield readiness are on the line.

    China holds a near monopoly on drone parts — up to 85% globally.
    Skydio sanctioned by China in 2024.
    Shield AI blacklisted in 2025.
    U.S. now scrambling to rebuild its own supply chain.

    Lawmakers are pushing to ban Chinese-made drones in federal agencies and revive American manufacturing — but is it too little, too late?
