Chinese military drones are becoming more and more eye-catching in the international market, and occupy an enviable market share of the global drone, which has caused a lot of discussion in the US military critics. Jurica Dujmovic, a column commentator on the Dow Jones MarketWatch website, wrote an article trying to analyze the secrets of Chinese military drones occupying the global market.
Not long ago, China's cheap supermarket chains spread across every corner of Croatia. The locals have a well-known "secret": If you don't have the money to afford high-end goods, you should go to the Chinese store to make sure you can find a cheap and quality "cottage" version.
Compared with American-made drones that look tall, Chinese-made drones are not only cheap, but also have unimpeded supply channels.
Coincidentally, this is also the case in the global military drone market. Compared with the American-made drones that look tall, Chinese-made drones are not only cheap, but also have unimpeded supply channels. An American-made MQ-1 Predator drone is priced at about $4 million. This price is enough to buy four Chinese-made WingLoong drones.

However, some commentators pointed out the performance problems of Chinese military drones. Kavin Wong works at Jane's Defense Advisory Agency (IHS) and reports on military technology in the Asia Pacific region. He sent an email to the New York Times, which reads: "China has been having difficulty in research and development in the field of aero engines. The aspect is no exception. So in general, the performance of Chinese-made drones is not so good."
Since the performance of Chinese-made drones cannot be compared with those produced in the United States, why are Chinese drones sold so well in the international market? Like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates, they are all fans of Chinese drones. The pterosaur drones just mentioned are priced at about $1 million each, which is cheaper than a modern tank. For those countries whose defense spending is stretched, China's drones have played a role in the snow: raising the modernization of military technology with more realistic defense spending.
American predator drone, top performance
But we have to solve the mystery of "why Chinese drones sell well", the price factor is obviously not unique. Americans can not only complain that the Chinese are fighting price wars, but they must first blame themselves. It is precisely the strict export regulations and various restrictions imposed by the United States that give Chinese people a chance. For example, the United States signed the MTCR (see endnotes), and there are various red tape export guidelines in the United States, which greatly limits the United States exporting drones and related technologies to its allies. Countries that urgently need drones are too cumbersome to buy American goods. They simply turn to China. Although the performance is poor, they are cost-effective and the purchase channels are very good.
China's drone technology is developing very rapidly. At the recent Zhuhai Air Show, China showed some new drones, which attracted the attention of many potential buyers, and China also showed a lot of forward-looking for the development of future UAVs. Once the drones representing China's cutting-edge technology have been introduced to the market, they are undoubtedly all hot.
Cloud shadow drone and its weapons
China's expansion capabilities in drones are likely to exceed the expectations of many experts. Take the Cloud Shadow on the Zhuhai Air Show as an example. It is the first stealth drone in China. It can be mounted on an airplane, dropped like a bomb, and the video is released. Yunying's coordinated bee colony dispatching technology. The Chinese drone has drilled the Americans' empty space and has occupied a considerable market share in the international market. It has become a highly worthy drone force.

In the current open international market, the performance of the optional stealth drone is still unsatisfactory. The old-fashioned drones provided by China are not only slow, but also have a very high flying height. They are only suitable for small-scale regional rebellion or local regional military conflicts. It is conceivable that the upgraded version of the Cloud Shadow UAV has significantly improved China's ability to participate in international military conflicts, and its flight distance and mount capacity have increased significantly. In the future, we can not only see military disputes in local areas, but also see the shadow UAV in the international hot war.
What deserves observers' attention is that the continuous improvement of the influence of Chinese drones has subtly changed the balance of military power among countries in the world. Due to the shyness of the military budgets of many foreign buyers, the overseas market has become saturated, and the Chinese drones have not made a big splash. However, one thing is undoubtedly true. The ambitions of Chinese drones will never be satisfied with small disturbances in local conflicts. History tells us that the large-scale international military conflicts are almost always due to the escalation of local regional disputes. No one in China has emerged on the larger stage.
