China develops for Russia a shock drone like Shahd, - Bloomberg

American officials are afraid that China can produce a drone like Shahaneda, much faster than Iran or Russia. In addition, Beijing thus approaches the death of the Russian Federation, which was warned by Western officials. Chinese and Russian companies develop a shock drone, similar to the Iranian model of Shahd, which the Russian Federation attacks the territory of Ukraine. Bloomberg writes about it with reference to European officials.

According to journalists, the companies held talks on cooperation in 2023. The goal was to copy the Iranian drone ShahED. And in 2024, the same companies began to develop and test the developed version. "Providing a shock -free Shahamed drone will mean deepening the support of Beijing Russia, despite repeated warnings from the US and their allies," the material reads.

Officials did not name the type developed, but Chinese defensive sites and several media reported that the country is developing a shock drone-Kamikadze called Sunflower 200, which is described as similar to Iranian SHahd 136. One of Bloomberg's interlocutors said , whether to send completely unmanned aerial vehicles, but already sends kits that can be converted into shock drones.

According to the officials, one of the fears is that China can produce a drone like "Shahaneda", much faster than Iran or Russia. At the same time, Bloomberg sources have stated that China is currently refrained from direct weapons and artillery. Recall that on July 2, analysts of the Center for Strategic and International Research (CSIS) stated that China is spying for the United States using Cuba.
