alt Hacker NewsI'm referring to the ones that carry a Q designation, not the DJI kind. China hasn't yet caught up in that domain. Electric drones are seeing a lot of use in Ukraine and other conflicts, but they aren't helping to establish air superiority.

China has direct copies of our Reaper drones, they aren't some advanced technology, they are very simple craft actually, and descend from essentially target drones and some toys the navy put together in the 80s.
>but they aren't helping to establish air superiority.
A reaper style drone does nothing for air superiority. It's not meant to. It's a surveillance and ground attack platform. It has no means of equipping or targeting actual air to air munitions meant for Air Superiority.
Why did you believe the MQ9 was relevant to air superiority? Or some special machine that China couldn't make?
