Loong 2 UAV has an optimized aerodynamic design, an improved airframe and upgraded airborne systems, featuring better capabilities
in terms of flight, payload and information capacity, In March 2017, a prototype of the Wing Loong 2 UAV conducted a 31- minute test
flight from an unidentified airport in northwestern China. With its Wing Loong 2 UAV, China would like to offer the new-generation
reconnaissance/strike unmanned aerial vehicle on the international market. In March 2017, it was announced that China could deliver
