Breaking China Dependency In Drone Cells With AUKUS Alliance
The US Army has received lithium-sulfur battery cells from Australian company Li-S Energy for independent evaluation. The cells, which offer higher energy density than traditional lithium-ion batteries, are part of an effort to reduce dependence on Chinese supply chains for critical minerals. The delivery was facilitated by the AUKUS alliance, which allows for the export of dual-use goods without individual permits. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
