The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been modifying and using commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to support its logistics operations.

中国人民解放军一直在改装和使用商用无人机来支持其后勤行动。

 

Video footage broadcast by state-owned China Central Television (CCTV) in early July shows the PLA Ground Force's (PLAGF's) 83rd Group Army using a repurposed commercial vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) quadcopter during a combat exercise to drop ammunitions to soldiers in a simulated battlefield environment.

官方中国中央电视台（CCTV）7月初播放的视频片段显示，中国人民解放军陆军第83集团军在一次作战演习中使用一架改装的商用垂直起降四旋翼机，在模拟战场环境中向士兵空投弹药。

 

Janes analysis showed that the UAV is also available for sale on a Chinese e-commerce platform. The platform indicates the UAV was built for agricultural spraying by a company based in the Jiangsu province.

简氏的分析显示，无人机也可以在中国的电子商务平台上销售。该平台表明，该无人机是由江苏省的一家公司为农业喷洒而制造的。

 

The 83rd Group Army has installed a makeshift storage compartment – likely made of carbon fibre – below the central module of the UAV. The flaps at the bottom of the compartment open to drop supplies to deployed troops.

第83集团军在无人机中央模块下方安装了一个可能由碳纤维制成的临时储藏箱。箱底部的挡板打开，向部署的部队空投物资。
