UCAVs used to assess damage from long range rocket launchers and if the damage is deemed unsatisfactory, air to surface missiles finished the job.


Where do we see UCAVs?

We see the truck launched small UAV, but isn't that a capability the PLAGF has had for years now for their artillery systems?

Narration. It states that UCAVs were used to assess the damage and used air to surface missiles to clean up.

service ceiling should be the same as Global Hawk, but range and endurance probably less than half. PAC 3 can't reach more than 15km iirc

Range and endurance at the expense of higher speed because it uses a turbojet instead of turbofan. More out of necessity since China didn't have the capability to manufacture turbofans for aircraft of this class until fairly recently.
