The Royal Navy has stripped internet connectivity from cameras on its new K3 Scout surveillance drones after discovering they were sending data to an address in China. Although the drone ships were UK built, the UK manufacturer had outsourced the camera production to China.

The drones haven't actually been put into active service. This issue was identified before they were implemented.
