Yeah, but they mostly deliver to Russia.
Guess not for OP’s use case.
Fpv drones, yeah, but things like dji ones not really (they aren't expendable in a similar way). But you or other people can make something similar pretty easy, but half of the components will be from china anyway.
Just out of curiosity, would you guys consider a drone made from Chinese mechanical parts, motors and motor controllers, but with a European STMicroelectronics main controller, programmed and assembled in the EU to be European?
For me, no.
But oftentimes (e.g. with smartphones and other electronics), there is no alternative.
Parrot 🦜 is french and they should have something similar
I heard of Parrot, but their models start at 5.000 €. I'm all for paying more for a european model, but that's 10x of a DJI Mini 3. Then I'd rather not buy a drone at all.
