It is the Twin Tail Scorpion drone developed by Tengden. We have already seen it perform patrols in the East China Sea last year. Saudis have tech transfer and have a production line ready.
On 12 May 2022, it was reported that a TB-001 UAV (Tengoen Tech.) finished a 14 day test where it flew from Kangding Airport (Tibet Autonomous Region, China) at an altitude of 4238m and went up to 6600m for 5h daily.
The test were done privale, but still a message to India
TB-001 Scorpion developed by the Chinese company Tengoen Technology flew from Kangding Airport at an altitude of 4238 meters.
Flights have been carried out for 14 days at altitudes up to 6600 m for 5 hours daily.
The surveyed area is 1 million hectares of forest.
The goal is to patrol the territory of forestry, search for and prevent fires.
Characteristics of UAV.
TB-001:
wingspan - 20 m,
length - 10,
height - 3.1 m,
maximum takeoff weight - 2800 kg with payload weight - 1 ton,
service ceiling - 8000 m,
flight duration - 35 hours.
Several high-precision fire-extinguishing bombs weighing 200 kg can be used to extinguish a fire on hardpoints.
A little OT correction to the tweet.
Kangding is not located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, but in the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the Sichuan Province.
Historically, Kangding was considered the entry gateway to the Tibetan Plateau.

General
A brochure introducing the various ground control stations.
From top to bottom:
- Control station for CH-4. Four consoles for flight control, payload control, communications monitoring, and intel assessment.
- Common/universal control station. Five consoles. Improved man-machine interface. Capable of controlling two drones at the same time. Redundant systems for improved reliability.
- Law enforcement control station. Specifically designed for monitoring large crowds at events. Capable of controlling various drones as well as unmanned ground vehicles for real-time situational awareness.
- Control station for a certain solar-powered UAV. Unlike the first three, which are based on standardized shipping containers, this command post is 12m long. The interior is divided into several functional zones from command and control to equipment operations. It can receive and process meteorological and remote sensing data as well as conduct intel assessment.
Posting a lost image. A control station/simulator for the Rainbow series of drones.
Looks like they upgraded to at least Windows 10 from some shots a couple years ago that was still on Windows 7Posting a lost image. A control station/simulator for the Rainbow series of drones.
Still amazing to me that they use Windows for this.
Caihong series are aimed for foreign markets.
What are the alternatives? Develop GUI apps on Linux may take much longer and require more effort.
