I find this comment from the drone article quite humourous:
"Second, China lacks the manpower to properly support their new fleet of drones. Whereas the U.S. has been training and honing a large force of UAV pilots, technicians and operation managers for 15 years."
The Chinese don't have technicians? Or guys that sit around and play video games? And yeah, that is pretty much what a UAV pilot is. Which is pretty profound and important if you think about it.
Sunbeam - I'd think what that would actually translate into would not be a failure to use the drones, but rather more sloppiness and screw-ups (kind of what "Made in China" typically connotes at this stage in their growth).
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
But I remember cheap looking, and cheaply built transistor radios and consumer electronics in the 70's.
15 years later the Japanese were a whole different story.
