New Innovation in Drone Development, future Warfare
Although only introduced in 2017, the export version of this Chinese drone has already proved itself in several Middle Eastern conflicts in the hands of the United Arab Emirates. Pakistan and Egypt have purchased dozens of them, too.
It can carry up to 480 kilograms (kg) of laser-guided bombs and missiles, and the manufacturer claims it has the capability to deploy air-to-air armament.
Its latest version is Chengdu Wing Loong-3, which has been in service since 2022.
