The Chinese military will help Pakistan build 48 of its advanced attack and reconnaissance drone models in a move that could signal greater military cooperation between the countries.

The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, a military contractor, will jointly develop 48 Wing Loong II drones with China’s state-owned Chengdu Aircraft Industrial (Group) Company, an announcement on a Pakistan military Facebook page revealed on Sunday.

It did not indicate the size of the deal or the project’s timespan, but it is likely the drones will be built in Pakistan.

Sorry to rain on everyone's Patriotic Parade here, but this is FALSE NEWS and there is no such deal. My source is directly from CATIC in China.

"Cloud Shadow" UAV (English: Yun Ying UAV) is a high-altitude high-speed drone developed by China Aviation Industry Corporation Chengdu Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. The design of the aircraft is very characteristic, with great emphasis on stealth. The front landing gear cabin door has a zigzag design, and the optical window of the nose is also designed to reduce radar reflection. At the same time, the aircraft uses a turbojet engine as the power, high-altitude high-speed performance, can cruise at an altitude of 14,000 meters, the maximum flight speed is 620 kilometers per hour.
