Chinese UAV pro-grams, companies,missions, specs are themost difficult of all toverify. China displaysbeautiful models atairshows, but almostnever shows anythingflying. And the samemodels may reappear,with a new paint job,name, etc., at latershows. This chart of-fers the best informa-tion possible, gleanedfrom dozens ofsources, with every effort made to verifywildly different claims.
