It is said that Russian TV filmed a Pterodactyl while aimed at their own chopper. The GIF animation shows it was towed by a car. Deino is correct.

I thought I recalled seeing something like before.
It's part of the 'Recon' kit in the game Battlefield 3.

Never played the Battlefield series. Played mostly Call of Duty.

Well in real life the T-Hawk started as a Class 1 UAV component of the US Army's Aborted Future Combat Systems. It was later adopted to some degree by the US Navy EOD and some Law enforcement agencies. T hawk was modular the troops could assemble it on the field fuel it and use it at the platoon level. Presumably the Chinese version intends the same. T-Hawk is named for the tarantula hawk a species of Hornet found across both the Americas and Asia, it is therefore somewhat fitting that a almost identical drone popped up in both the US and China.
