The only details we know for sure at this time is that the drone will have a dedicated app and will record video at up to 4K and could cost as much as 3999 Yuan.
Oh my dear friends, you will be surprised what we have in store for you on the day of the millet. Thanks dears
4000 Yuan a drone ! wtf ?
It comes equipped with missile launcher and auto cannon for this price, i hope.
And maybe an internal IA with a distant switch to turn drones against the population abroad when China decide to invade a country ?
I won’t buy this one if I was taiwanese…
DJI Phantoms cost more than that
