Elegant aircraft, and yet another Chinese-built aerial asset, which if needed can be built far more cheaply and quickly than manned aircraft. Each flight adds to the experience of operators, and possibly also contributes to any associated AI flight management systems.
The biggest cost for any air force has always been trained pilots. Drones potentially allow for countries to maximise their productive capacity without that bottleneck in translating it to air power
@@kapitankapital6580 Depending on the fighter type, it costs the USAF between USD6.5 Million to USD13.2 Million to train a pilot.

@@gumpyoldbugger6944 Not to mention that because drones are "expendable", they don't need life support, ejection seats, etc etc etc)
It becomes a virtuous circle which makes mass producing specialised items economic and puts those who rely on "all eggs in one basket" approaches (eg: F22/F35) at risk of spending themselves to death
@@miscbits6399 At this time, we still need to train drone operators aka pilots to fly/sail/drive the silly things, however that training time is a lot shorter then training full on pilots, especially when using suicide attack drones on a one way trip.
However, one has to wonder how much longer will the human element be required in full time drone operations given the rapid advancement in AI and automation.
I doubt it will be long until the only human intervention in a drone kill chain will just punching in some basic commands, coordinates and then the go button.
Once launched, they would operate on their own without human direction, making their own decisions and course of actions.
Sort of like what we currently are doing with various missle systems really but with a lot more leeway for independent action.
Russia and China have an open sky agreement where China can access the Sea of Japan through Russia.

Perfect timing. I just watched a vid by Inside China Business. In it Kevin talked about how Ukrainian and Israeli army prefer to use off the shelf DJI drones vs US military drones. I was asking myself if the civilian drones are that much better than US drones, how good are the PLA drones! 🎉
PLA probably use off the shelf DJI drones as well. Civilian drone designs are updated every few months, while military drone designs are set a few years ago at the earliest.
Doesn't have to be good. Just cheap and will last 2 hours before being blown up.
Only some parts are off the shelf, while the rest are on a higher level design and materials.
@@xsu-is7vqthey don't. They might have dji design and build specialised versions for the pla....
Thank you for consistently providing very detailed and timely weapon information.
At 10 miles altitude, the horizon is 283 miles away. That’s 250,000 square miles of surface within direct line of sight. Surveillance planes spaced 500 miles apart would provide continuous coverage with no gaps
wtf is a mile i only know kilometers
Saaar miles are freedom units.
@@EthanX1ao one mile equals 1.60934 kilometres.......I will leave you to do the math.
Given that such planes are easily targeted with long rang hyper or near hyper sonic anti-aircraft missiles, they would be the first to go in the event of a conflict.
In order to not to be knocked down, they would have to turn off their emitters and sensors, thus rendering them useless and redundent.
Doesn't really matter who's side you are on in a conflict, the first thing you want to knock out are the eyes and ears of your opponent, along with their ability to coordinate their command and control. So you go after their electronic systems be they for communications or detection.
Nothing really new there actually. When the Kriegsmarine figured out that the Aliies had equipped their anti-submarine aircraft with radar to detect surfaced U-boats, they equipped said U-boats with radar detector to alert them when an Allied aircraft was coming at them.
It's pretty much the same today, only that today you fire off an anti-air/radiation missile to track back that incoming radar signal to its source and take it out. AKA the Wild Weasle thing.
@@gumpyoldbugger6944 Turning off sensors doesn't help large drones avoid getting shot down, they are simply too obvious on radars. In other words, they are meant to be shot down, their value is to transmit the very last data before the war is on, like the Tu-16R following the US carrier fleet during the Cold War, but cheaper and do not cost human lives

The “soaring dragon” WZ7 reconnaissance UAV can fly at hypersonic speed at an altitude of 20 km for a long time which enable it to detect any American war ship heading towards Taiwan long before it is even within the sight of the island. It gives the essential information in the “kill chain” of the PLAN command to destroy the enemy’s ships with hypersonic missiles.
What kind of engine these WZ-7 UAVs have in order to reach hypersonic speed (i.e. Mach 5 or above)?
@@tvgerbil1984 at that altitude it must be driven by a supersonic ramjet engine, not a turbofan or alike.
@@philiptan2051 The WZ-7 does not appear to have a ramjet engine or an airframe capable of substaining hypersonic flight. Perhaps you meant WZ-8 which has much cleaner aerodynamics for substained hypersonic flight but has to be air-launched from a bomber.
@@tvgerbil1984 who cares for what kind of code the UAV is given. It is not the code that matters but the capabilities of the UAV.

I wonder how much effort is put into the looks of these things.
Is it important, that they look good and menacing?
I think this could bé the case for ground or water vehicles, to fly however, youd have an important trade off by trying to make it look cool. Moreover, being stealth and curvy makes it look cool, but its like that for aerodynamics and radar avoudance capabilities
@@thefeof6161 you don't avoid radar with curves you use angles. That's why the f 22 looks so angular

Drone Easy Fast Cheap. Carrier Difficult Slow Expensive. Carriers Sink.
Yes, agree
Any reconnaissance drone tasked with tracking a carrier group really needs to be stealth. Without stealth, they would be very vulnerable to a F-35. The drone may within range to detect, but would not be able to track a carrier group before it was shot down.
Stealthy definitely, maybe high supersonic or even hypersonic at high altitude too to get away from intercepting missiles ..... apparently, the Chinese AVIC WZ-8 Unmanned surveillance drone has those characteristics.
It has wings and an engine, so it must be a replica from some country
Doctrine wise, it seems like China is strengthening its area/sea denial capabilities.
Hypothetically, if China were to invade Taiwan, it would want to prevent any other nation from interfering with its operations. By having a MALE UAV providing guidance for anti-carrier missiles makes a lot of sense.
China's carrier hunter drone should be WZ-8 hypersonic UAV.
In addition to submarine tracking, satellite tracking, and military/ civilian intelligence, these drones in relay mode also track aircraft carriers. The surveillance of the US aircraft carriers is near 100%. In the age of hypersonic missiles, any carriers are sitting ducks. Carries have excellent but limited defense capabilities, but offense slightly has the edge. Can a carrier survive a swamp of 1000 thousand decoyed drones, jets, and 100 hypersonic miles at 1/30 of the cost of a carrier? There is practically no technological gap. If China sinks the US carriers, then what's next?
For April fools joke you should pretend to unveil the weather balloon drone and its long range surveillance capability to survey entire US.
The great advantage of drones are low price and low heat signature. This thing looks very expensive and has a big engine.
And they are for sale for smaller nations to defend against big nations.
I somehow doubt that the global hawks electronics have been standing still since 2007. As you would expect from any major country.
Freedom of navigation
"Xizhang, also known as Tibet in english" Absolute BASED
Can you contact these drones with a radio like you can with manned planes? Because if you warn them before blowing them up, if there is no one to hear the warning..
Does China have any fully stealthed drones to perform a similar role? Long-duration, long-range maritime surveillance seems like the kind of role that is perfectly suited to a stealth drone.
I know there's the GJ-11, but that's a combat drone, right?
WZ-8 fits that description, although GJ-11 could theoretically be used. There's the limitation with having to launch the WZ-8 from a H-6N bomber at an appropriate speed and altitude, at least according to leaked US-sourced documents.
@@EurasiaNaval is WZ-8 one-way drone? Once you launch then it wont come back?
@@Wvk5zc It is easy to interpret.China has ability to product it cheaply,which even is cheaper than missle that shut down it.And,No oneoutside of them can kown real content about it.
实话说，我们都不知道
I'm still waiting for my tactical air balloon. Some countries have a fear of ballons. 🎈🎈🎈
when ppl say US has the strongest military, wrong, to be exact is US has the strongest defense, china by far has the strongest attack force
It's funny, just like in American football everyone thinks the second string quarterback is better. But there's a reason that first stringer was in there in the first place. Any technology that America boasts about only means they are seven steps ahead of that tech already. The F35 has weapons that they're not even allowed to use yet because they are so secretive and powerful. And that goes with a Ford class carrier they would not put them In harm's Way if they were so easily sinkable
America can decide which is preferable: China's export of industrial overcapacity in consumer goods, or a massive and sustained Chinese military buildup.

Japan's F15 could only take photoes from under, what a beauty
Because they had no call or right to shoot it down as it wasn't violating their airspace. It has every right to be flying there as much as the JSDAF F-15's or any US drone. Isn't International Airspace a bitch at times?
@@gumpyoldbugger6944You know the pilot was at the limit when he had to zoom in for a vague photo.
This drone probably flies higher than the F-15J.
@@MarvinChenFantasy while that maybe true, it still should of been in range for a missile strike, however as I said before, the pilot had no legal cause or case to launch one at it.
@@hongjian3714 but most likely not out of range of an air launch anti-aircraft missile.
Take a bow to your new world leader China!
Very nice copy! It's the invisible that counts...
No need for slow moving mannrd AWACs.
come on China surely you have satellites for that.....
Thi Chinese drine might be compared to the US MQ-4 but appears to more closely resemble the MQ-9 in design. The supported swept wing is an odd choice for a reconnaissance aircraft because it trades lift for speed which is normally undesirable.
Also, the RQ-4 has an ummensely larger engine shtoud which could house a larger engine or do more thermal obfuscation. The chinese drone uses a much older turboprop design and be far more detectable than American drones.
Before considering things like special materials, construction and EW systems, IMO this Chinese drine likely is using very ancient technology as a base starting point
The supported swept wing is structurally more rigid than a traditional straight wing. This translates to either a wider wing span or a lighter wing. It’s a good design approach and will lead to a much wider wing span in the future. Wider wing span will improve lift, especially in thin air at a reduced airspeed. Reduced airspeed will improve drag and allow improved engine thrust per horsepower expended.
A future design will likely fly higher, slower, longer, farther. At 10 miles altitude, the line of sight to the horizon is 283 miles. This increases substantially at higher altitudes. A more powerful radar with a larger antenna will likely be included to monitor surface ships hundreds of miles away.
Wrong, America just started their kindergarten drones manufacturing after 3 years ago by backward engineering the Chinese drones after Donnie Dumb Dumps Dumps the contract and restrictions on importing Chinese military technology and parts.
How do you like them apples joes ?
Ayaaah, little-D-boi's having heart-pains and pulling out their hair out of jealousy in the comment section.😂😂😂
It's better to use the word 'loong' instead of 'dragon'. They are totally different creatures with huge difference between them. There is not a dragon that exists in Chinese culture
Of course, there are dragons in the ancient culture of China. It's just that Chinese dragons are different from Western dragons. Chinese dragons have no wings, while Western dragons are dinosaurs. Western dragons are dinosaurs. The Chinese dragon symbolizes auspiciousness and respect, while the Western dragon symbolizes darkness and evil.
what do chinese call western dragons in mandarin?
@@Wvk5zc Of course, this plane is named after the Chinese dragon. The Chinese dragon does not exist in the real world at all. Unlike the Western dragon, it is actually a dinosaur, so it is named after the Chinese dragon. But the Chinese dragon has no wings, while the plane has wings, so it is called a pterosaur. The name of this plane means a dragon with wings.
It is hard to prove that they were totally different creatures scientifically. Nobody has ever found the genes of a loong to compare with the genes of a dragon yet. The word dragon in Latin was draco which meant "huge serpent". Maybe modern Western culture has already misrepresented dragons as dinosaur-like creatures.
