are building an industrial park for the production of UAVs. The park will eventually occupy some 800 acres and be home to enterprises up and down the supply chain. The image below shows the signing ceremony where the first batch of companies/parts suppliers commit to setting up operations in the industrial park.

CAC built a new drone production facility in Zigong, which is about 200 km away from Chengdu.

It is now producing WL-2. I'm not sure if just civilian version, but they claim to be able to produce 200 per year and delivery time reduced by 30%

Self-explanatory.

I'm just waiting for domestic manufacturers to create suicide UAVs like below. It doesn't seem like a big design departure from traditional design but has insane burst speed, China has enough manufacturing capacity that small suicide drones should be seen as munitions rather than a reusable platform. A single truck container could carry thousands of them.

More images of AVIC Chengdu's new UAV production base.

P.S. The second image shows a Wingloong-1 with an enlarged radome. The hump is much more pronounced and probably houses a larger satellite communications antenna, among other possible improvements.
