Poland has become the biggest buyer of drones from Taiwan as the Eastern European country, on Russia¡¯s doorstep, bolsters its defense capabilities and seeks to reduce its reliance on Chinese parts.
Poland is now absorbing almost 60% of Taiwan¡¯s drone exports, which expanded this year to about $32 million through August, from almost nothing in the previous years. The next-largest importer of Taiwan¡¯s drones is the U.S., to which Taiwan sold roughly $7 million worth in the same period.
Taiwanese drone maker Ahamani said Polish demand was so great it was planning to open a factory there, and that other foreign companies, including a large South Korean drone company, had approached it about buying non-Chinese motors.
