This was the week the airspace closed while the product pipeline stayed shut. World Cup drone TFRs went live June 1 — including 100+ surprise no-fly bubbles in cities hundreds of miles from any match — while every DJI product thread stalled: no Pocket 4P price, no Osmo 360 II launch, no Air 4 FCC filing. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

This was the week DJI fought back with evidence. An independent US cybersecurity firm bought DJI gear off the shelf, tested it for five months, and found nothing; the FCC comment docket crossed 3,000; and the FAA turned 11 World Cup stadiums into no-drone zones with FBI seizure authority. Five stories — in priority order, with our take on each.

Six stories — in priority order, with our take on each.
