DJI, the company behind the bulk of civilian drones flying across American skies, is facing renewed scrutiny after Chinese authorities criminally detained a former senior executive on suspicion of accepting bribes.

Anzu Robotics, a Texas-based drone manufacturer that launched its Raptor series as an alternative to DJI in 2024, has announced that the line is no longer available for purchase due to persistent component shortages that have stalled further production. In an official notice from CEO Randall Warnas, the company said it had pursued multiple supply solutions without success and will instead shift focus to a “next generation” product designed to meet new commercial and regulatory demands.
