Chinese MALE, HALE (and rotary, small, suicide) UAV/UCAV thread

I wonder how niche does non-military use has to become before "dual-use" definition become invalid? Because fiber optics FPV has only one known use. Also what about fire-fighting glide bomb wing kits

Maybe "I ’m enjoy flying"?

An interesting looking drone gun.

They should deploy patrol vehicles equipped with small laser turrets as soon as possible, rather than drone jamming guns. Given the situation in Syria, fiber-optic drones are bound to proliferate, and drone jamming guns will be unable to handle the future threat of returning East Turkestan terrorists from abroad.

Those are more for removing rudely flown civilian drones.

China is showing in Pakistan its first line approach to increasing terrorism in the middle east/Central Asia. Basically they will send a small number of spec ops to advise the locals and support their raids, and if absolutely necessary, rely on air strikes to bust a large concentration of terrorists.

Locals can buy laser air cover and other CIWS from China. Dispersed spec ops advisors don't need much air cover.

That approach is projected to work well because as terrorists clash with local forces, they cause collateral damage which makes the locals hate the terrorists more. Equipped with an all seeing capability from China's advisors, locals can exploit directly the tensions and strategically assassinate/arrest the key figures.

Light Blade series might be a good choice. It is much smaller and more mobile than Silent Hunter and has been successfully exported to an unnamed middle eastern country. In test trials it performed very well against fast moving suicide drones.

The latest popular products from private enterprises: fiber optic guided small suicide quads. The guidance wires are stored in small carbon fiber composite cylinders.

Small FPV drones continue to proliferate.
