Tens of millions were spent by the RCMP on Chinese-made drones that pose a “high security” risk and will cost up to $34.1 million to replace, exceeding twice the initial investment, according to a government report.
The internal report presented to the Senate national security committee indicates that 973 drones, making up 79 percent of the RCMP’s 1,228-drone fleet, were manufactured in China.
