I bet I could establish a defense industry company (you need just around ~300 USD to get the license in Turkey). Import this UAV for "research and development", modify it, and exhibit it at a defense show. Then maybe I could sell it to a government agency for 150k. China's UAV is industry incredible. You can literally buy a VTOL UAV with hours of endurance and a 4k stabilized camera as if you were buying a motorcycle.
Are we starting an SDF arms dealer corporation? We find the best picks on Aliexpress to recommend then drop ship them to the customer for a hefty price?
Only to the "good" side of course, wouldn't want cops knocking on my door.
No joke one of best friends goes Uchicago and students get shot there all the time. So at one point, I was actually seriously considering buying body armor from Alibaba/Aliexpress and reselling it there.
Quoting from Zhuhai 2022 thread.
You brought up a good point about the 2 variants.
In addition to the intake being moved away from the top in FH-97A, the FH-97 also has it's electro-optic targeting system mounted on the bottom of the nose, as seen here. FH-97A moves it to the top which I think is fair to say optimizes for Air-to-Air combat. Would be interesting if they keep 2 variants or just go with FH-97A.
What is the most likely engine?
My guess WS17 equivalent to Motor Sich AI 222-25F.
Am I seeing is right? Stealthy afterburner without serrated nozzles?
It looks very much just like a model instead of the real deal, so the actual uav might have serrated nozzles instead and didn't present it on the model just to avoid releasing sensitive information.
