Haha .. someone does not want any smarty western powers to develop pesky counter-weapons and defence-techniques regarding their drones ...
Hardly, the Australian Army and Air-force both operate that model of Chinese drone:
"The Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) No 36 Squadron has introduced a DJI Phantom 4 drone to support the Home Station Check on the service’s C-17A Globemaster military transport aircraft." https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/dji-phantom-4-globemaster/
"The capability of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including the DJI Phantom 4 and the Black Hornet, were on display today at Randwick Barracks as the Australian Army continues to roll out the technology across the country." https://www.contactairlandandsea.com/2018/08/20/army-issuing-dji-phantom-4-drones-to-units/
However, these drones have not been modified to carry weapons, so the manufacturer may not be too concerned.
