At the recent air show held in Saudi Arabia, in order to support Saudi Arabia, we sent 73 exhibitors to participate in this event, with a total exhibition area of more than 4,500 square meters, ranking second among the 75 participating countries in the world, second only to the host Saudi Arabia. The efforts of our exhibitors have finally paid off, according to relevant news, the Pterodactyl-10 UAV independently developed by our company has been favored by Saudi Arabia, and the country is ready to introduce a batch of UAVs of this model, which is good news worth celebrating.

The Pterodactyl-10 UAV is a high-altitude and high-speed unmanned aerial system independently developed by China's aviation industry, which was successfully tested on November 27, 2021. This model of UAV is a very advanced UAV with its large size and long range, which has many advantages. Its technology is mature, and in many respects it has reached or exceeded the performance of similar products in the United States and the West. For example, it can carry various types of ** ammunition, such as TY-90 air-to-air missiles, AG-300 M air-to-surface missiles, FT-7A W laser-guided bombs, YJ-9E anti-ship missiles, etc., to perform air supremacy, ground bombing, sea and anti-ship and other tasks, with a wide range of uses. This model of UAV also has considerable stealth function, and its stealth performance ranks leading in the field of large UAVs in the world.

It is said that the self-use version of this model of UAV has carried out actual combat patrols in the waters of the Taiwan Strait, and the technology is quite mature. The Saudis have experienced first-hand the power of drones in modern warfare in the Red Sea war between the United States and the Houthis. In addition, Saudi Arabia has purchased a large number of various models of UAVs developed by China, which makes Saudi Arabia's purchase of Pterodactyl-10 UAVs a matter of course, and it is also the first export of this type of UAV. Previously, Saudi Arabia has purchased large UAVs such as Pterodactyl-2, Rainbow-4 and Twin-tailed Scorpion, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of armed UAVs developed by Saudi Arabia has exceeded 300, and the scale is considerable.

It can be said that Saudi Arabia has established an "all-Chinese" UAV force, and the total number of its large-scale Chada UAVs has exceeded the only 20 American-made MQ-9s in Britain and France, and it is also more than Russia, which has only a small number of self-developed "Orion" UAVs. At present, in terms of the size and number of large drone forces, only the two major countries of China and the United States, as well as the emerging drone powers, Iran and Turkey, can surpass Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is already the fifth largest drone unit in the world.
