As we know Pakistan tried to buy Predators from the US few years back, which of course US refused to sell to Pakistan but instead they gave Pak Army Ravens. We all know Pak Army needs armed drones & they need them bad. I don't know if Pakistan is planning to buy these Armed Drones from China or not but in my opinion Pakistan needs to move forward with this plan & buy these Armed Drones from China. We need them to protect our borders & to root out terrorists who are hiding in the mountains, in my opinion Pakistan needs to buy them & this is one of Pakistan's Army main requirement 'Armed Drones'.

Chinese are developing at a really fast pace..Its beyond thoughts that they have carried and matured so many multiple developments and technologies during past 10 years. I have to say that no country in the world NOW can achieve this much pace as china has done..

The reason is they don't trust no one & specially they don't take **** from US & most importantly they teach patriotism to their people, not like our media who teach Indian Culture & our politicians who love to be the slaves of US.

^ Why does Pakistan always have to depend on China for its weapon requirements? You guys have already got a good indegenous drone program going. Is it the funding for R&D that's stopping Pakistam from expanding this program to produce combat drones?

Or is this a stop gap measure until you start producing your own UCAVs in the future?

What's inside the drone.... sensor suit and SAT link plus SAT to utilize UCAV properly is what causing Pakistan to expand it's UAV program

Pakistan can do it as well as China , but you need a political party who has a long-term plan about the economy and military of Pakistan. Let's make a concerted effort!
