#3 adding that the drone was capable of carrying weapons.

Thanks for the laugh General. It's a $100 RC hobby plane setup with about a 3' wingspan. Payload is a few ounces. The "surveilance system" is probably nothing more than a fixed focus wireless camera with an attached RF amplfier.

#4 I got $20 that says that if this is turns out to be true that it is a Iranian drone like the ones Hezbollah has been flying over northern Iran. No discription but I dont think the Chineese care to see the Muslim radicals gain any more power in thier backyard. Thinking caucases and the Norks well thiey are just a Chineese proxy like Cuba was to Russia back in the day independent but any major moves with high risk would have to approved by the leadership.
