According to an adviser of the Iranian information ministry, China is acquiring Iranian drones?

"The senior adviser of the Minister of Information stated that 15,000 drones are in line to be purchased by China and so far many of these drones have been delivered to this country."

But... why? Why would China need to buy this many Iranian drones when China already has a solid drone industry? And what kind of drones are they?

If true, then it'll prolly be the cheap suicide drones that are fast and easy to produce. Could come in handy in a Taiwan scenario.

If a weapon system works well in a conflict, countries tend to line up to buy it.

Examples are the Kornet after 2006, TB2 after NK, And now Iranian drones?

If that's the case, couldn't China mass-produce those suicide drones on their own? That doesn't sound like what China is incapable of mass-producing, TBH...
