This looks like a great package and above all else. Can be efficiently manufactured.

Shahed what? China has been operating this type of drone for almost 30 years.

Dunno if this is the correct thread, if not, please move it as necessary


Rumour that the government has placed an order of 1 million drones from Poly Technologies. Don't know how reliable this site is though

China places massive order for kamikaze drones

A Chinese drone manufacturer has disclosed a massive government order for almost a million lightweight kamikaze drones, to be delivered by 2026.

The revelation, shared during a conversation with Defence Blog, highlights China’s rapidly expanding investment in unmanned aerial systems and their integration into modern warfare strategies.

Apparently a direct quote from a representative of Poly Technologies

According to the representative of Poly Technologies, this unprecedented contract has effectively monopolized their production capacity. “We already have an order for almost a million drones for our government, and we’re forced to turn down other clients to meet the demand,” the representative stated.

When asked about potential exports to Russia, the manufacturer indicated that meeting domestic demand is currently a top priority.
