The status of drones in the modern international military market is prominent, everyone knows: modern warfare is inseparable from unmanned aerial vehicles, among them, China's UAV has achieved quite good achievements, has been exported to many countries, and recently another super big order! On August 31, a Rainbow-4 drone export contract was officially signed, the customer was a middle Eastern buyer who was not disclosed, the entire contract amount exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the unit price of this drone was about 4 million US dollars, which was equivalent to the Middle East buyer buying 25 Rainbow drones, which was also a big contract.
Chinese drones have ushered in a new order
China's drone signed a big order in the Middle East is of great significance, further consolidating its position in the international market, but also attracted the Turks jealous and dirty water, the current international drone market, Turkey is also a rising star, its research and development of Bayraktar Tb2 UAV is also exported to many countries. Turkey boasts that TB2 drones are selling well, and the CEO of the research and development company said in a recent interview: At present, bayraktar Tb2 drones are the most popular products in the world, which has exceeded China's overall drone exports. A statement with a fairly high water content, Chinese UAVs actually use multiple models, including: pterodactyl and rainbow series, which have also been exported to many countries and have been delivered to countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Ethiopia, with more customers than Turkey.
TB2 is not a fake, but how word of mouth...
In the international competition, China and Turkey drones seem to have a competitive relationship, in fact, the markets targeted by the two are not the same, for example: Turkey can sell to NATO countries, but the Turks always regard Chinese products as opponents, and now look at Chinese drones and sign a big order. The Turks splashed dirty water again, blatantly saying that many customers of Turkish drones had purchased military drones from China, but "retired" them after bayraktar TB2 drones joined the army.
Turkish drones have not been less heeled
The relevant expression of the Turks is really: face is not wanted, suspected of excessive bragging, Bayraktar TB2 UAV can only be regarded as a medium-sized UAV from a technical point of view, the performance is quite limited, the public statement: the maximum take-off weight is 650 kg, the maximum mount is 55 kg, the maximum speed is 222 km/ h, the cruising speed is 130 km/ h, the endurance time can reach 24 hours, the maximum lift limit is 8200 meters, and the practical upgrade is about 4000 meters.
A Russian-Ukrainian conflict has made Turkish drones hot
China has several series of UAVs, each of which is composed of a number of different types of UAVs, taking only the least outstanding Rainbow 4 UAVs as an example: the maximum take-off weight is 1300 kg, the load load is 345 kg, the speed is 180 km/h when cruising, the maximum speed is 235 km/h, the maximum lag time is 40 hours, and the practical ceiling is 7500 meters. At present, the new generation of improved models, performance is more rational to think. So how is Turkey's TB-2 better than China's drone? On what basis can it be said that it is possible to fire from a higher altitude? The practical ceiling is 3,000 meters lower than that of Rainbow 4, and as for autonomous flight performance, including: take-off and landing, isn't this the earliest function realized by Chinese drones? What to say: "Their smart ammunition provides a more powerful precision attack capability. "This is not participated in the air show, have seen the Chinese UAV in front of the place of various types of ammunition, really do not know anything about the performance, the head of an internationally renowned enterprise actually has this level, is it too low?"
We are not far behind than weapons
Now although the Turks do have considerable ambitions, fantasy rely on Bayraktar TB2 UAV to grab the Chinese UAV market, unfortunately the reality is not so, Chinese UAVs and Turkey have no market conflict to speak of, this big publicity, but a "inferior propaganda", there is no way to let people see the advanced points of Turkish UAVs.
No matter how ambitious Turkey is, China does not have to worry about being stolen, we have first-class products, we are not afraid of any competition, we can keep a very good state. In fact, the opportunity is also here, we never boast about customers, do not try to deceive customers by excessive publicity of competitive contracts, we ask for truth from facts.
Have hard power and don't worry about Turkey grabbing orders
As long as you understand it is not difficult to find that China's drone signed a large order has become the norm, the export volume has increased unabated, advise the Turks to adapt, do not see China signed the order on what jealousy, this kind of habit is good, need a calm heart, with its effort to splash dirty water, it is better to spend more effort on their own products, competition is to rely on excellent products, rather than beautiful advertising words.
