AVIC drones help flood relief efforts in Guangxi

The Aviation Industry Corp of China, the nation's leading aircraft maker, said on Thursday that its Wing Loong 2 drones helped support flood relief efforts in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region by conducting disaster reconnaissance and restoring communications in areas isolated by severe flooding.

The State-owned conglomerate said that on July 6, following an order from the Ministry of Emergency Management, three Wing Loong 2 drones stationed in Guangdong, Hubei and Sichuan provinces were urgently dispatched to Guangxi to carry out disaster reconnaissance and emergency communication support missions.
