Wing Loong 2

The Chengdu Wing Loong II, also known as GJ-2, is an autonomous unmanned flying flight unmanned aircraft that can be controlled remotely by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group. It is also known as GJ-2. The Chengdu Wing Loong II is used for military trials, as well as civilian applications. It has received many accolades since its development, including being the first civilian drone to carry an international patent.

Wing Loong's top speed is 370 kph, and it can stay in the air for as long as 20 hours. Its flight endurance can be listed as 27 hours. However it was not provided by the Chinese company with the number of flights. The Wing Loong 2 is not only suitable for military purposes, but can also be used to capture aerial photos, film, and even as surveillance tools. However, China does not advertise its military capabilities publicly.

Caihong 5

China is fast becoming a major supplier UAVs capable of striking. China sold 181 drones in 13 countries from 2008 to 2018. More than three-quarters were strike-capable systems. The Wing Loong series and popular Caihong range accounted respectively for 35.4% & 53.6%. The new CH-5 will continue this trend and compete with the UAVs from the United States and Israel.

The Caihong 5 has a radome nose and upward-pointing V-tail. The Caihong 5 is capable of flying at a height greater than that of the gasoline-powered piston engines, which can reach 7,200 meters. It also has a 20% reduction in fuel consumption, making it more economical to operate. The Caihong 5 is the heaviest drone ever produced by China.


Wing Loong 1E

The newest addition to the Wing Loong family of large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is the Wing-Loong-1E, a strike-capable, multi-purpose UAV that recently made its maiden flight. The AVIC did NOT release any technical details but a prototype was presented at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. It is unique in aerodynamic design and features upward-pointing winglets.

The Wing Loong-1E China drone was made in Chengdu in Sichuan. This center specializes in unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs), which is an indicator that China is trying to make its own drones. The Wing Loong 1E is smaller than its predecessor, but it is expected to be more durable due to composite materials and improved aerodynamics. Expect the new drone to be more reliable, longer-lasting, and efficient.

Wing Loong II

Rumours suggest that the Wing Loong II, a Chinese UAV, could be the next contender for the MQ-1 Predator's role in the Middle East. The country recently expressed interest in purchasing 300 of the unmanned aircraft, according to the company. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have both expressed an interest, agreeing to jointly produce 48 units. Before these nations buy a Wing Loong II, however, it's important to evaluate its suitability for military purposes.

Wing Loong II can carry more advanced versions of the original. The new model can carry 12 air-to-surface rockets. The Wing Loong II was introduced to the PLAAF in November 2018, and is the second model in the Wing Loong series. This upgraded version of the Wing Loong has been in service with China's military. Both the Wing Loong II (GJ2) and Wing Loong II have similar capabilities. The Wing Loong II however has a larger platform.
