The Wing Loong-3 drone was first presented two days before the opening of the largest aviation show Airshow China 2022.
China presented a military unmanned aerial vehicle with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. Japanese TV channel NHK reported this on Monday, November 7.
It is understood that the Wing Loong-3 drone was first shown to Chinese and foreign media on Sunday – two days before the opening of China’s largest aviation show in the southern province of Guangdong Airshow China 2022.
This device can be used for both reconnaissance and combat operations. It is capable of carrying more than two tons of various ammunition.
Significant improvements over previous models are said to put the UAV on par with the world’s leading US drones.
China is eager to demonstrate the expanded scope of its military operations to the US amid continued tensions in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, observers say.
A Chinese journalist told NHK that such weapons enhance China’s national security. He said that Chinese technology will be equal to American technology in five to six years.
