#SriLanka’s Army starts drone regiment 1st mission: “Movements of people will be monitored in isolated areas using Drone cameras & stern action will be taken against those violating restrictions - Police Spokesman- adaderana” #lka officially Orwellian now.
Drones used look like @DJIGlobal’s industrial grade Matrice 300 RTK platform. So clearly #China has a hand. 15km radius w/ 55 minute endurance https://www.dji.com/nz/mobile/matrice-300 SAR capabilities will be used in #SriLanka for population #surveillance. See ‘PinPoint’ feature of drone.
Matrice 300 RTK – Built Tough. Works Smart. – DJI

The Matrice 300 RTK sets a new standard for industrial drones by combining intelligence with high-performance and unrivaled reliability.

The platform featured in @adaderana video seems outfitted with Zenmuse H20 cameras https://www.dji.com/nz/mobile/zenmuse-h20-series with thermal imaging/night vision capabilities. No joke. Chilling prospect to have this flying overhead. #Privacy? Ethics? Data retention? Legal framework?
