The wreckage of an armed drone
turned up in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday near the epicenter of the West
African country’s violent Islamist insurgency.
The drone looks Chinese. And
that’s a very big deal.
Pictures of the wreckage posted on
Twitter show an unmanned combat aerial vehicle that closely resembles the CH-3
drone made by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. Missiles
fixed to two hardpoints and a sensor payload are all apparent in the images.
Reports place the crash near the village of Dumge in
Nigeria’s northeast Borno state.
