You folks seem to forget that China is a communist country, and is not market driven. Companies, are mostly owned by the government or people connected with the government. They don't need to show constant growth to shareholders. Sure there are a few companies that have foreign share holders, but they are mostly front companies.
The reason why China does not have a advanced military is because, it is used primarily for defence, and domestic control. For defence they have advantage of home field, and for domestic control, you really don't need the advanced technology. Their military doctrine is different from the US. China wins wars by attrition, not military superiority. China has always been the victim of invaders, and not the other way around. If China starts to develop advanced weapon systems, the world needs to take heed.
Dave, re-define global economic. :) Read Marks again. :)
OMG, u too much read american press.=)
I no see any crisis in chinese economic, but there are normal "problems of growth", it's clear.
Apropos military budget USA in 8x biggest in aprox than chinese, but USA population in 4x smaller.
However it's very comic use political issues for discuss technologic problems.=)
It must be the price only for the airframe. If you have a look to the other sections you will see that the auopilots are sold for a much higher price than the "attack drone".
Other components too. It's an appetizer.
LoL dealer fantasy =)
China done god job, see nice support software on

I did some basic research into this "product". Based on what I found in about 15 minutes, I'd be very surprised if it was even for real...especially at that price point for that air frame, even not including the launch mechanism.
"Electronic equipment MTBF > 60 h" That's "Mean Time Between Failures" and not the flying time, BTW.
I hope that's a lot more than 60h. Then again, it's better than the drones I've built.
I guess if you actually use it as an attack drone 60 hours is way more than you need.
Maybe for training.
You'd think the Chinese government might actually have enough sense to mention that this was a bad idea to the manufacturer.
