China operates a number of armed drones, whether they've been used in any actions is unknown. Nigeria operates armed CH-4 drones from China. South Africa has armed versions of its Seeker 400 drone, though it's not clear if those acquired by Defence Intelligence are armed yet. Iran's Shahed-129 drone is armed with the Sadid-1 air-to-surface missile and is in active service. Israel has armed drones, even though present policy prevents them from being used in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. The UK and Italy both have armed Reapers. Saudi Arabia has also acquired armed drones from China. In short, nearly 25 countries either have or are actively developing armed drones. I expect that number to go up dramatically in the next ten years, as armed drones become as common exports as unarmed drones.
