Chinese drone company Autel's opposition to military use is called into question as its drones are marketed with images of them carrying explosive shells. The company has denied the use of its products for military purposes, but the listing of such drones on various e-commerce platforms with military-related images has raised concerns. Autel's drones, particularly the Titan model, have been used in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with the company's subsidiaries based in the US, Germany, and Italy. The company has not responded to requests for comment regarding these concerns.
