US media said the Chinese military has dominated the market for unmanned: not only because it's cheap _ | | | unmanned supply news

[Compilation/Wu Shouzhe observers network] Chinese military drones became more noticeable in the international market and occupies an enviable global UAV market share, which caused the United States military critics, a lot of discussion. United States owned by Dow Jones MarketWatch Web site commentator and columnist Jurica Dujmovic wrote tries to analyze the secret of China's military drones take over the global market.

In recent years, China's cheap supermarket chains all over Croatia in every corner. Locals are known as a "secret": If you have no money cannot afford that luxury goods, you should go to the China shop around, you can find cheap and quality of "shanzhai" version.

Coincidentally, the global market for military drones also exists in this case. Compared to look tall beauty on Chinese-made drones, Chinese-made drone is not only cheap, but also supply channels open. A Chinese-American made MQ-1 Predator (Predator) UAVs cost up to about $4 million, the price is enough to buy four Chinese-made "pterodactyl" (Wing Loong) drone.

But some commentators pointed out that the Chinese military UAV's performance problems. Kavin Wong in the Jane's defense consultancy (IHS), military technology covering the Asia-Pacific region, he had sent a message to the New York Times, include: "China in Aero-Engine research and development in this area has been difficult, unmanned aerial vehicles are no exception. So overall, the performance is not so good for Chinese-made drone. ”

Since Chinese-made drone performance can't be us-made in China than why China's unmanned aerial vehicles sold on the international market so well? Like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria and the U.A.E. is China's unmanned aerial vehicle enthusiasts. Mentioned pterosaur drones each sell for about $1 million, cheaper than a modern tank. For those countries that stretched defense spending, China's unmanned aerial vehicles play much role: a more realistic defense spending promoted the modernization of military technology.

But we have to solve, "why China's unmanned aerial vehicles sell well" this mystery, the price factor is obviously not the only. Americans can't complain about not only the Chinese people fighting a price war, but would be the first to blame. Is precisely the United States own stringent export regulations and restrictions gave Chinese opportunities. Such as the United States was signed in the MTCR (see endnote) and United States domestic has all kinds of formalities of exit criteria, greatly limiting the United States exports of unmanned aerial vehicles and related technology to its allies. Need UAV countries looking to buy United States goods too cumbersome, simply turn to China, although inferior in performance, price and purchase channels very well.

The UAV technology developed very rapidly in China. In a recent Zhuhai air show, China showed off some new drones, attracted the attention of many potential buyers, and China has also shown a drone for the future development of many forward-looking. Those drones represent the most advanced technology to market, no doubt are in demand.

China in the development of drones is very likely than many experts expected. Zhuhai airshow "shadow" drone (Cloud Shadow) as an example, it is China's first stealth drone, which can be mounted on the aircraft, was dropped like a bomb, and published video showing cloud cooperative colonies out of the shadow technology. Chinese drone of drilling the Americans exploited, already takes up a considerable market share in the world, became a force of drone is very worthy of attention.

> Show at Zhuhai air show, China-made "Rainbow 5" UAVs, about 60 hours of flight time, flying up to 4039 miles, and the United States of MQ-9 death (Reaper) UAVs comparable

Current open international markets, alternative stealth drone performance is still far from satisfactory. Old drones provided by China is not only slow, and flight altitude is very general, applies only to a small area of the scale of the rebellion or local regional military conflicts. As you can imagine, upgrade shadow drones to significantly improve the capacity of China's participation in international military conflicts, and flight distance and mounting the force has increased substantially. In the future, not only at the local regional military conflicts, can also be seen in the international war clouds drone figure.

Worth watchers is concerned, drone influence of China continues to improve, subtly changes the balance of military strength in the international community. Because of the military budgets of many international buyers are cash-strapped, leading overseas market is saturated, China's drones which did not steal the show. But one thing is for certain, China's ambitions cannot be satisfied to tinkering around in the local conflicts in the region. History tells us that international large-scale military conflict between almost all comes from the local regional escalation of disputes. China no chance to emerge on a larger stage.

Is the United States called for the establishment of groups such as export control system, aimed at preventing the carrying of weapons of mass destruction and missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles and related technology diffusion. At present China has yet to join the MTCR organization. ）

美媒称中国军用无人机霸占市场：不仅因为便宜|无人机|渠道|供货_新闻资讯

　　[编译/观察者网 武守哲]中国军用无人机在国际市场上越来越引人注目，而且占据了令人艳羡的全球无人机市场份额，其原因引起了美国军事评论界的大量讨论。美国道琼斯旗下MarketWatch网站的专栏评论员Jurica Dujmovic撰文，试图分析中国军用无人机霸占全球市场的秘诀。

>2014年2月，新加坡航展上展示的“翼龙”无人机模型

　　就在不久前，中国的廉价超市连锁店遍布克罗地亚的每一个角落。当地人有一个众所周知的“秘密”：如果你没钱消费不起高档货，那就应该去中国店里转转，保证你能找到廉价而且质量过硬的“山寨”版。

　　无独有偶，全球军用无人机市场上也存在这个情况。相比看起来高大上的美中国国产无人机，中中国国产的无人机不但价格便宜，而且供货渠道畅通无阻。一架美中国国产的MQ-1捕食者（Predator）无人机售价高达400万美元左右，这个价位足可以买到四架中中国国产的“翼龙”（Wing Loong）无人机。

　　不过也有一些评论者指出了中国军用无人机的性能问题。Kavin Wong在简氏防务咨询机构（IHS）工作，负责报道亚太地区的军事科技，他曾发邮件给纽约时报，内容有：“中国在航空发动机这一领域的研发中一直困难重重，在无人机方面也不例外。所以总的来说，中中国国产的无人机的性能并不那么出色。”

　　既然中中国国产的无人机性能无法和美中国国产的比，为什么在国际市场上中国无人机卖的这么好？像埃及、沙特、巴基斯坦、尼日利亚和阿联酋等都是中国无人机的拥趸。刚才提到的翼龙无人机每架售价约100万美元，比一辆现代坦克还便宜。对那些国防开支捉襟见肘的国家来说，中国无人机起到了雪中送炭的作用：以更现实的国防支出提升了军事科技的现代化。

>美中国国产的MQ-1“捕食者”无人机，在战事频繁的世界各地存在感十足

　　但是我们要解开“为什么中国无人机卖的好”这个谜团，价格因素显然不是唯一的。美国人不但不能抱怨中国人打价格战，反而要首先自责。恰恰是美国自身严苛的出口规章和各类限制给了中国人可乘之机。比如美国在MTCR上签了字（参见尾注），而且美国国内有着各种繁文缛节的出口准则，极大地限制了美国向其盟友出口无人机及其相关技术。急需无人机的国家一看买美国货过于繁琐，索性转向中国，虽然性能上差一些，但性价比高且购货渠道很好。

　　中国的无人机技术发展十分迅猛。在前不久的珠海航展上，中国展示了一些新型无人机，吸引了众多潜在买家的目光，并且中国还表现出了对未来无人机发展的很多前瞻性。那些代表中国最前沿技术的无人机一经推向市场，无疑个个都是抢手货。

　　中国在无人机方面的拓展力极有可能超出很多行家的预料。以珠海航展上的“云影”无人机（Cloud Shadow）为例，它是中国第一款隐形无人机，可以被挂载于飞机上，像炸弹一样被空投，而且公布的视频显示了云影的协同蜂群出动技术。中国无人机钻了美国人的空子，在国际上已经占据了相当大的市场份额，成为了一股非常值得重视的无人机力量。

>　　珠海航展上展示的中国国产“彩虹5”无人机，飞行时间约60小时，飞行长度可达4039英里，可以和美国的MQ-9 死神（Reaper）无人机相媲美

　　目前开放的国际市场上，可供选择的隐形无人机性能却依然差强人意。中国提供的老式无人机不但速度慢，而且飞行高度很一般，只适用于小规模的地区叛乱战或者局部区域军事冲突。可以想象，云影无人机的的升级版让中国参与国际军事冲突的能力得到显著提升，而且飞行距离和挂载力都有大幅增加。在未来，我们不但能在局部区域军事纷争，也能在国际间热战中看到云影无人机的身影。

　　值得观察家们关注的是，中国无人机影响力的不断提高，微妙地改变着国际间各国军事实力的平衡。由于众多各国买家的军事预算都囊中羞涩，导致海外市场趋于饱和，中国的无人机这才没有大出风头。不过有一点是确凿无疑的，中国无人机的野心绝不会满足于在局部区域的冲突中小打小闹。历史告诉我们，国际间大规模的军事冲突几乎都源于局部区域纷争的不断升级。中国的无人机会在更大的舞台上崭露头角。

　　（观察者网注：MTCR全称Missile Technology Control Regime：导弹及其技术控制制度。是美国等西方七国建立的集团性出口控制制度，旨在防止可运载大规模杀伤性武器的导弹和无人驾驶航空飞行器及相关技术的扩散。目前中国尚未加入MTCR组织。）
