ASN-206

Notes: This is one of the few indigenously produced Chinese UAVs. It is a large UAV that is normally air-launched, but can be launched from a rail on the ground using a RATO booster. Missions for the ASN-206 include general reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance, targeting, artillery observation, NBC reconnaissance, and disaster survey. To this end, it carries a wide variety of sensors.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Turkey also used the ASN-206 in small numbers during the Twilight War.
