There is a lot of data available online and I do not wish to elaborate.

From what I have researched the Wing Long II is inferior to the MQ-9B in every way. For example the payload of the Wing Long II is 200kg while the MQ-9B is 2100kg. The Endurance of the Wing Long II is 32 Hours compared to 40 hours on the MQ-9B. The latter has a modular design allowing it to do all of the following:

MQ-9B is major upgrade over previous MQ-9 reaper but at a price of USD 2.9bilions for a few unit of drone is a bit too much for most countries. I never claim Wing Loong II is better than MQ-9B , just stated your previous claim of such a big drone like Wing Loong II to have a payload of only 200kg is abit ridiculous.

I think for some countries, they will prefer to use USD 1 billion to get 50 wing loong II than USD 2.9 for just a few units.

No matter how advance current drone are, they are nothing in front of manned 4th generation fighter jets which will get the drone shot down in no minutes. Therefore for some, it is not worthwhile to spend so much on a single drone, not matter how good they are. Until the day, they can outgun manned 4th gen fighter jets.
