The Customs Authority announced today the successful seizure of motors and electronic components intended for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the Aden Free Zone customs facility.
The confiscated items included 180 smart servo motors, which play a crucial role in maneuvering drone wings and deploying payloads. These motors can also be utilized in robotics. In addition, the customs officials seized 1,760 pieces of various electronic boards and sensors.
