The Iraqi Ministry of Defense recently released a video displaying the launch of a Chinese-made CH-4B combat drone from al-Kut Air Base southeast of Baghdad, Iraq.

The video shows a clip of interview with Iraq’s Defense Minister, Khaled-al-Obeidi, who said that the CH-4B ‘Rainbow’ unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) shown in the video took off for its first combat mission against ISIL in Anbar province.

How many of CH-4B combat drones Iraq has received remain unknown. “It is not clear whether China supplied Iraq with just the CH-4B mixed attack and reconnaissance UAV shown in the video, or also with the CH-4A variant, a reconnaissance drone with a 5,000km range and 30-40 hour endurance,” website The Diplomat wrote.
