It would not take any more time. That is BS. What will happen is they will create a huge code base on Windows and if they need to port it later they will have to lose their investment. Any teenager can write a GUI application for Linux with Qt.
Why? Microsoft opens source Windows code to China government so it’s as safe as any other systems for them. Many Chinese C3 systems are windows based.
No, but they can check any update.
The PLA has been looking into that for some time (silent hunter just 1 example), so no need to worry.
I remember watching a video of a drone AI tracking another drone, I can't wait to see anti-drone drone warfare in the future.
These are export drones, so it should be assumed that the CIA will likely be able to get access to them. Do you really think it would be a good idea to supply them with China’s own OS so the CIA can go through it with a fine tooth comb to look for weaknesses to exploit?
This is great. Saw the tweet on this yesterday and I couldn't find it again. Good to see they make these little sales to Indonesia. Hopefully more drones, anti drone and ship export coming up.
