Egypt purchases additional 32 units Wing Loong 1D of China

CHINA drones can be said to be triumphant in the international market. Recently, they have obtained large orders. Egypt has decided to order 32 CHINA produced WL 1D-modified reconnaissance and combat integrated drones. Egypt has already purchased WL reconnaissance and combat integrated drones before who are currently played an important role in the fight against militant groups in the country.
According to overseas media reports, Egypt introduced the improved WL UAV, including drones, command stations, logistics support systems, and communication/data links, worth about 400 million yuan. From the perspective of this contract price, The introduction of Egypt should be the WL-1D reconnaissance and combat integrated drone.

Egypt not only introduced the Chinese ASN-209 drone, but also introduced its manufacturing technology
Egypt is an important market for Chinese drones in the Middle East. Egypt has already introduced ASN-209 drones from China. This is a medium-sized drone that is mainly used for reconnaissance, intelligence and surveillance missions. Egypt not only introduces ASN- 209 drones, also introduced production licenses to produce such drones in the country, according to the Egyptian side, they can already produce more than 90% of the ASN-209 drones components, so this project not only improved the ISR capability of the Egyptian army but also provides valuable experience for Egypt to establish its own aviation industry.
In the new century, the radical organization of the migratory organization in Egypt, Egypt decided to increase the intensity of the crackdown, because the regional organizations are mixed among the residents, often need long-term detection, monitoring and identification to attack, so the reconnaissance and strike integrated machine is the best means to carry out such a task, so Egypt has introduced the WL Reconnaissance and Strike drone from China. This drone has played a key role in combating militant organizations and has won the favor of the Egyptian army, but it is believed that the WL UAV also has room for upgrade. For example, the WL UAV has relatively limited load capacity. It is difficult to mount synthetic aperture radar and photoelectric detection systems at the same time, and the detection performance of the ground is not unlimited. Therefore, it seeks more advanced reconnaissance and strike UAV.

WL 2 is of course good, but the price is a bit high
Relevant units in China have launched a more advanced WL 2 reconnaissance and combat integrated drone. The integrated combat capability of the aircraft is far more powerful than the WL I drone. The Middle East UAE has introduced the WL 2 drone, which is also used in actual combat. However, the price of the WL 2 drone is relatively high, while the WL-1D is a type of drone with moderate price and moderate capacity, and has higher versatility among WL drones in terms of command and control, logistics support, etc. , more in line with the requirements of the Egyptian army, this may be the main reason for the Egyptian army to still purchase WL-1D.
According to the Zhuhai Air Show data, the WL-1D has increased the wingspan compared with the WL reconnaissance and combat integrated drone. The wingspan has increased from 14 meters to 17.8 meters, so that the maximum takeoff weight of the drone increases, and the plug-in increaseed up to 400 kg, the synthetic aperture radar and photoelectric pod can be mounted at the same time. The synthetic aperture radar can make the drone have better all-weather detection capability, covering a wider area, and the maximum ceiling is increased from 6000 meters to 7500 meters. The main threat of reconnaissance and combat integrated drones is shoulder-type anti-aircraft missiles. The higher the flight altitude, the higher the survivability. The WL-1D wing attachment points are also increased from 2 to 4 from WL-1 which keeps it carrying more air-to-ground missiles and bombs, hitting more targets, and better utilizing the long-haul and long-range performance of drones.

The WL-1D UAV is added to mount more weapons
From the point of view of the procurement of WL-1D contracts in Egypt, the average number is about 12.5 million per unit, which is equivalent to US$2 million. This price is much cheaper than the US Predator drone, but the function is not that big difference. The latter is inferior, can be said to be cheap and good, so the domestic reconnaissance and attack integrated drone will be sold to the international market easily and make the customers satisfied along with very good after-sale service.
