WASHINGTON, USA – A small California-based drone maker says one of its sea vessels sailed close enough to a Chinese warship operating in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone to capture what it believes is the first footage of its kind recorded by a private US firm.
It shared the video taken on June 16 with Reuters, which has independently verified its authenticity.
