I will just quote
The large-scale logistics drone used in this demonstration has a wingspan of 20 meters, a body length of 10 meters, a take-off weight of about 3 tons, and a payload of 1.2 tons. It is one of the largest logistics drones in the world. The cruise speed can reach 250 kilometers per hour, the range can reach 3000 kilometers, and the ceiling is 6000 meters.

This model is a newly designed large-scale logistics drone with independent intellectual property rights. It adopts quick-release lock hook cargo compartment and distributed cargo pods to improve logistics operation efficiency; large aspect ratio wings improve lift-to-drag ratio, dual-engine Improve power and safety. The drone has achieved unmanned autonomous control, can automatically plan routes, take off and land automatically with one key, and has autonomous emergency handling capabilities.

A related question, how fast could you build a Shahed 136 like prototype if you are a fresh start-up in Shenzhen？

China already has something similar called ASN-301

China builds 26 millions cars per year and if we assume 1car=1drone while 20% of the capacity are used then >10,000 per day.

What I'm thinking is: can US or even the whole western match this capacity? I believe the supply chain tension in last year has showed that US cannot build enough cars or drones without East Asian supply chain. This problem may be eased if recent subsidy works, or may not.

Japan is completed dependent on imported energy and materials, while it's easy to be isolated. We have known how Euro performs without Russia energy. China also depends on importing but still remains the ability to keep the whole supply chain even totally isolated.

I must correct this answer: if we’re talking about Shahed-136, 1 car may equals to 10 drones. So 100 thousands per day is easy.

Subsidies won't work, US is literally asking Taiwan to give up it's one advantage that makes it important for the world to take notice. Same for S Korea. It will lead to stagnation, they've seen this film playout between US and Japan in 90s when Japan.
