By Patrick Egan Verified| sUAS News Verified I’ve been glued to my computer this week, watching all of the mudslinging, arguing, public lobbying and name calling going on around the issue of Chinese drones. I’ve seen people making borderline threatening remarks about Rep. Stefanik; I’ve seen people blaming Skydio and BRINC for all of this, and I’ve seen people prognosticating the end of the drone industry. I, for one, think the reports about our industry’s death are greatly exaggerated.
