To accomplish the above, the regime detailed a plan to design one to two types of small, long-range drones and establish a factory to produce 1,000 of them per year. The document stated there would be a 130 million yuan (about $20 million) investment to build the drone-making firm that would begin production by the end of 2018.
“Implementation of the program will arm our national defense with the latest combat power in future vertical warfare and make it capable to contend with U.S. military weapons, giving it marked military significance,” the document stated.
While the file did not reveal the cost for making such drones, a 2017 directive from the Party’s Equipment Development Department described a project that matched the description of the above-mentioned drones, with an estimated budget of around 6 million yuan ($927,859) to build a prototype and publish a flight test report by 2020.

“In future warfare, seizing more information resources while controlling and restricting other nations’ information will be a key component for competing with nations during peaceful periods, and an important combat strategy in times of war,” it said, citing “low costs” and the “ability to fight in a dangerous environment” as some of the features that made...

biden will give them every single bit of our military technology and then make us pay for the building of it. DO NOT BE SURPRISED when American citizens end up in forced labor camps to build them for the communist chinese. That’s what they have in store for Trump supporters! But hey, look at the bright side... hunter will have plenty of coke and whores! What a great day for the country, biden, the establishment get richer and we go into slavery, sold out to the communist chinese.
so is the entire federal government and EVERY scumbag in dc!
well hopefully they build in better guidance systems than they did for GoPro Karmas!! Many just flew off into the sunset never to be seen again. after a couple years of it, GoPro terminated production...
President Trump properly identified China as one of the biggest threats to freedom and democracy globally. The current administration will probably make them Friend #1.
Thanks free traitors. I hope that $.10 you saved on communist made pens was worth all of this.
