Chinese UAV News & Discussions (Strictly)

Sorry about the confusion. I mixed up the Soar Dragons. Aviation Week (in 2008) had called an earlier Chinese UAV a Soar Dragon as well.

Trick or Treat?

"Footage of Soar Dragon, which is similar in configuration and role to the U.S Global Hawk, was recently posted on the internet appearing to show the UAV undergoing taxi trials – conceptual ones, of course.

Two questions. Is the new UAV named Soar Dragon? Are the Soar Dragon specifications for the twin-tailed Aviation Week UAV pictured above or for the new plane in the spy picture by HouShanghai?

The photos emerged yesterday at CJDBY, of CAC's new pet project aside from J-20. It's a long range, high altitude recon drone that is tasked with collecting ground/sea intelligence. It can also act as a midway guidance for anti-ship cruise missiles, increasing their effective engagement range. This will be a very effective tool for the navy in surveillance role, and can engage smaller surface combatants if neccessary.

The model and the one in the original picture are different crafts. The tails are very different. This is the model of the one in the pic:
