Although it should be noted that it's not DJI drones doing that damage. They seem to be used for spotting, while more DIY-style FPV drones are the ones blowing up tanks.

Of course, those parts likely also come from sources in China. However, the software is more along the lines of FOSS like ArduPilot or PX4.
