You will ultimately decide whether to buy these drones. In this video, we will also show you what to look for. These drones are most often used for commercial purposes. However, what about the drones that haven’t yet been on the market?

Wing Loong 2

The Chengdu Wing Loong II (GJ-2), a remote controlled, unmanned flight unmanned aerial vehicle that can be remotely controlled and operated by the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group in People's Republic of China, is called the Chengdu Wing Loong II. It is marked GJ-2 by the military. In addition to civilian applications, the Chengdu Wing Loong II has been used in military trials. It was awarded many awards since its inception, including an international patent for the first civilian drone.

Wing Loong is capable of flying for up 20 hours and has a top speed at 370 kph. The Wing Loong's flight endurance is listed as 27 hours. However, the Chinese company did no provide information about how many flights it had completed during testing. Apart from its military uses, the Wing Loong 2 could also be used as a civilian surveillance tool, aerial photography, and video production. China does not publicly display its military capabilities.

Caihong 5

China is quickly becoming a major supplier of strike capable UAVs. China has sold 181 drones to 13 countries over the period 2008-2018, three-quarters of them being strike-capable. In the same time period, the Wing Loong and popular Caihong series made up 35.4%, 53.6% and respectively, 53.6%. The new CH-5 will likely continue this trend to challenge the UAVs in the United States of America and Israel.

Caihong5 has a forward-pointing V-tail and a nose with radome. The Caihong 5 can fly at a height of 9,000m, which is compared to the 7,200-meter range for the gasoline-powered piston engine variant. A heavy fuel engine reduces fuel consumption by around 20%, making it less expensive to run. The Caihong 5 is the heaviest drone ever produced by China.


Wing Loong 1E

Wing-Loong-1E was the latest addition in the Wing Loong line of large unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). This is a multi-purpose UAV with strike capabilities that has just made its maiden flights. Although AVIC did no release technical details, a prototype has been demonstrated at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. It has a unique aerodynamic design with upward-pointing wingslets.

The Wing Loong-1E China is a new drone made in Chengdu. It's located in Sichuan. This facility specializes on unmanned aerial devices (UAVs), and it shows that China is keen to produce its own drones. Although the Wing Loong 1E is smaller in size than its predecessor, it is expected that it will be stronger and more durable thanks to composite materials as well as improved aerodynamics. The new drone is expected have a greater range, endurance and efficiency.

Wing Loong II

The Wing Loong II Chinese UAV is being considered to be a potential replacement for the MQ-1 Predator. According to the company, the country expressed an interest in purchasing 300 unmanned aircraft. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also interested in the Chinese drone. They have already agreed to produce 48 units together. It is essential that these nations determine whether the Wing Loong II is suitable for military use before they purchase one.

Wing Loong II is a modified version of its predecessor. The newer model can carry twelve air-to–surface missiles. The Wing Loong II was introduced to the PLAAF in November 2018, and is the second model in the Wing Loong series. It is an upgraded variant of the Wing Loong, which has already entered service in China's military. The Wing Loong II and the GJ-2 have similar capabilities. However, the Wing Loong II is more powerful.
