Australia’s ABC found Chinese marketplaces, including Alibaba, listing inexpensive drones with AI navigation and explosive payloads for civilian sale. Listings advertise $2,000–$5,000 prices, hundreds-kilometre ranges, assembly kits, and computer-vision target identification that reduces GPS dependence. Officials warn such dual-use systems enable low-cost loitering munitions and swarms, complicating customs, defense responses, and regulation.
