That is subjected to interpretation of the report.

The report said (in my translation) in the first half of 2020, the company started various research or contract realization works of 9 UAVs including CH-7. These works include 500 flight tests. This is plain translation without any interpretation.

Here is my thought. Does that 500 flight tests include maiden flight of CH-7? Or the work of CH-7 in the first half of 2020 is only limited to assembling and ground test of it? If I am to be very strict and careful, I think the report did not confirm CH-7's maiden flight. If I am to be more wishful, then I can say that 500 includes the maiden flight.

If I were the alert5 author, I would have said "The latest half-year stock report by Aerospace CH UAV – 航天彩虹无人机股份有限公司 – revealed that the CH-7 stealth unmanned air vehicle (UAV) MAY have flown."

I agree. The source appears to be a company work/financial report. It states that development and manufacturing work has resumed and largely returned to normal on various projects such as CH-7, CH-4, AR-1, unmanned helicopters, high-speed aerial targets, etc. In the first half of 2020, the company conducted some 500 flights of various kinds – demonstration flights, test flights, training flights – and accumulated over 3000 flight hours with a success rate of 100%. Progress on UAV projects is notable: many challenges and problems were overcome and the competitiveness of the Rainbow series of UAVs has been significantly improved as a result.

Agreed.

I think the most useful thing from this report is confirming that work on CH-7 is definitely still continuing, which in and of itself is useful information.

Wow AVIC plan to produce 100 Y-5 excellent with short take off and simple infrastructure support system It is ideal Only drawback is inefficiency and Avgas fuel instead of Kerosene. From Henri K blog

AVIC SAIC has delivered 2 drone Y-5B cargo planes to Tianyu (天 域 航 通) based in Sichuan, in the city of Shifang. The #drone, renamed HY-100 (鸿雁), made its first flight on January 5 in Xinjiang. This delivery is part of the order for 100 devices signed in 2019.

Can't find a more appropriate thread, so I will post these here.

The II-150Y stealth aerial target drone. In addition to the base variant, there's a high-elevation variant (for tibet) and a naval variant. Capable of carrying various payloads to simulate desired radar and infrared attributes. Capable of 5g instantaneous 80- and 180-degree turns, 3g sustained S-pattern maneuver, etc.

The base variant:
