> not a close in war when drones come into play

What do drones mean to you? It sounds like you think it means “quadrocopter” when it is also used to describe RQ-4 Global Hawks and similar aircraft.




I mean the discussion here is specifically referring to the drone China accells at (quadrocopter) versus the USA such as RQ-4s. So I am referring to what the discussion is talking about.

That is why I am asking. Because it definietly sounds like you think the discussion is about quadrocopters and not say China building many WZ-7 Soaring Dragons.

Is it possible that when the others said that china will build many drones they meant the second kind and not some toy copters? Because that would make their comments make sense.


That wouldn't make sense as China is seen as a uniquely strong powerhouse in the toy drones, but not uniquely stronger the larger unmanned drones such as Reapers.
