Armed reconnaissance UAV with AI-enhanced targeting and autonomous loiter capability. Comparable to MQ-1 Predator in performance envelope.
The CH-4 was the first Chinese armed drone to see confirmed combat use, with Iraqi Air Force examples conducting strikes against ISIS positions in western Iraq in 2015. Its sensor suite includes electro-optical, infrared, and laser rangefinder systems that enable precision targeting without active radar emissions. The platform's proven combat performance has enhanced China's reputation as a reliable supplier of military UAV technology to developing nations.
Deployed by Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia; used in Iraqi counter-ISIS operations
