Chinese UAV pro-
grams, companies,
missions, specs are the
most difficult of all to
verify. China displays
beautiful models at
airshows, but almost
never shows anything
flying. And the same
models may reappear,
with a new paint job,
name, etc., at later
shows. This chart of-
fers the best informa-
tion possible, gleaned
from dozens of
sources, with every
effort made to verify
wildly different claims.
