The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and China Aerospace Science Technology Corporation (CASC) signed an agreement to manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in Saudi Arabia, IHS Jane’s reports.

Specific details of this agreement are not available.

During the 2017 International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX), which took place in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in February, Taqnia Aeronautics Company had signed an agreement with China Aerospace Long-March International (ALIT) to manufacture CH-series UAVs in Saudi Arabia.

Notes & Comments:

It is not clear if the two agreements are related, but Taqnia and KACST have collaborated on scientific and technological projects for Saudi use. This extending to CH-series drones is plausible.

Considering CASC and ALIT produce and market the CH-series, respectively, it is unclear if the sale large UAV sale announced by Chinese media in February involves the Wing Loong II, as observers had previously believed. The ‘largest order’ appears to have gone to CASC (from Saudi Arabia).

While both are Chinese, CASC and CAIG are competitors in the armed UAV space.

The CASC CH-4B and CAIG Wing Loong II have similar specifications, especially in terms of payload and endurance (Wing Loong II: 400 kg and 32 hours vs. CH-4B: 345 kg and 40 hours). Both UAV platforms can deploy China’s range of air-to-surface munitions, such as the AR-1 laser-guided missile.

Saudi Arabia is a confirmed CH-4B operator and apparent Wing Loong user. While one cannot dismiss the possibility of acquiring both the CH-4B and Wing Loong II in large numbers, the licensed manufacturing aspect of the CASC/ALIT deal indicates that most of these drones will be of the CH-series.

China should sell similar drone to Mexico, so Mexican border guards can track illegal American immigrants . And definitely this will change the balance of power between US and Mexico, with miniaturized drone & Cheap, Mexican can have upper Hand against US. And those drogue cartel can deliver special cargo to US without risk as well.

Make these affordable toy for Mexicans, they will keep American busy for long long time

CH-series drones are a good choice.

Saudis got really angry at Obama for supporting the Iran deal, after that they have been shifting towards China. Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhertoric have sealed the deal.

It makes sense because China is the world's largest oil importer, and Saudi Arabia's number 1 customer.

It would give China enormous strategic leverage if we could get the GCC on our side, after all they are the world's largest source of hydrocarbons.

China can provide both military and civilian drones to all friendly countries.

In some cases, some supa powers even use China's civilian drone to spy Pakistan.

I hope to see these ships in Pakistan Navy and hope the VLS it has can carry and fire long range cruise missiles such as CJ-10

The China export VLS for foreign Navy called LY-80N ship-to-air missile weapon system.

I think China can make VLS or fit VLS system in these Frigates according to our requirement which can fire long range cruise missiles

China has a new VLS system on type052D DDG, which can launch ship-to-air missile / anti-ship missile / cruise missile ... but that one is different with this LY-80N VLS weapon system, the LY-80N VLS on type054A FFG can launch ship-to-air missile / anti-sub rocket-boost torpedo.

Currently China has the VLS weapon system can launch long range cruise missile, and already equip on type052D, just not the LY-80N.

Than I hope they place the one they are using on Type 52 D on this ship if Pakistan orders these

Now Mexicans don't have to worry about the WALL. Use DJI drones to deliver their white powder stuff to the other side with just some flicks from the thumbs.

Only when these Latino countries are weak and when they have no choice: what Americans are afraid the most is to have enemy near them, so they set the Monroe doctrine and trying to keep other powers away from America and keep those Latino countries very weak so they can not challenge US supremacy, but if China provide drones to Mexican peoples and let our Latino friends to use their own imagination on how to deal with US, American will have very busy to contain UFO near their border.

If Americans want to create trouble for China by using Philippine, Vietnam, Japan and other nations, China can certainly make US taste their own medicine.

Just imagine the sight of hundreds of delivery drones flying back and forth during night time. The physical obstacle is no longer an issue (no matter how tall that is), no risk of being arrested or shot at. I believe Drone taxi made some headlines recently, soon Latinos can easily cross the border with made in China toys. The days of digging tunnels for smuggling drugs or people are over.

Remember wahabis are US ally.

They are diversifying defense reliance which is good for both China and Saudis.
