US Military Still Buying Chinese-Made Drones Despite Spying Concerns

Carla Babb

   PENTAGON - The Air Force and the Navy bought Chinese-manufactured
   drones for elite forces months after the Pentagon prohibited their use
   due to cybersecurity concerns, according to government documents.

   In each case, the services used special exemptions granted by the
   Pentagon's acquisition and sustainment office "on a case by case basis,
   to support urgent needs," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Mike Andrews told
   VOA.
