Ethiopia is buying so many different types of drones not only to diversify its sources of acquisition but also reverse engineer and learn the technologies of each drone type and make because Ethiopia is herself becoming drone producer. Soon, we will be become builders of fighter drones of all kind.

Reverse engineering is frequently an expensive, time-consuming, and complex process that requires highly specialized skills, tools, and expertise.

Rivals do reverse engineering to destroy or bring down drones.
We should be putting more resources to replace ገበሬ ከበሬ

ኢትዮጵያን የሚገነቡት ልጆቿ ገበሬን ከበሬ እያላቀቁት ነው1 እ ናንተ ግን ከኢትዮጵያ ደመኛ ጠላት ለሻቢያ በተላከ አሮጌ ጥይት ኢትዮጵያ ፈቀቅ እንዳትል በየዋሻው ትርመጠመጣልችሁ! ይቺ አገር ግ ን ከዚህ በኋላ ወደ ኋላ የሚመልሳት አንዳች ኃይል የለም!

ኢትዮጵያ ገና የራሷን ታንክ፣ የራሷን ድሮን፣ የራሷን አይሮፕላን! ዛሬም የራሷን ትራክተር እየሰራች ነው! ያማራ ገበሬን እስከ መቼ ከሞፈሩ ጋር አሳራችሁ መነገጃ እንደ ምታደርጉት ይታያል?

Reverse engineering is often restricted by laws such as copyright and trade secret protections, as well as contractual agreements like "No Reverse Engineering" clauses.

Horsey,

We have a saying in your ancestral language Tigrigna ፈራህ ዓሰርተ በትሩ (A coward carries ten sticks) and as Esu has observed, Abiy is a coward's coward. In Tigrigna ጃጃዊ.

Lets reply to this Gurage Listro.

First of all, the galla seems to have great hope that drones are some how magical weapons who can turn the furture of war in your advantage which is wrong assumption. First unless, you have well motivated and war spirited warriors in form of infantry, you are not going to win wars,,and the Galla and ethiopians in genrals are shi@ity when it comes to have excellent infantry formation, that is of course unless they use human wave. Second, having drones from different manurfactors and different models is maintainance nighmare.

Here is the definition of "copyright": the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same.

Here is the definition of "patent": a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.

Still don't know which one applies here, say so.

Bull. This narrative doesn't even scratch the surface of the truth. Believe in whatever you were brainshed in but this is not why Mengistu lost and Eritrea broke away and Meles took power from him.

Obbo Whorus,

You can reproduce macines by permission of the originator of the product with a written license. Without it should be a hostile action from enemies. If the enemy from whom technoly is reproduced has facts that you in fact copied their technolog without authorization, they can take legal action against you at the World Trade Organization.
But you can improvise and patent the improvised technology without challenge by the originator of the machine.
