The camera on the UAV is actually quite high quality, I wonder if the military version would be even higher resolution for ISR purposes.

Determining the quality of the sensor is somewhat dependent on the altitude which the UAV is operating at.

I wonder if those are altitude readings on the right side of the screen, and if it represents meters (which I think it would as China would use metric for aviation?), then the sensor quality does seem decent.

That doesn't look like 3000 feet to me, 3km with a bit of zoom would make more sense judging from the quality of the footage.

There was a short snippet of a switchblade-600 esq drone in there for anti-armor duties, really in any peer to peer warfare being a tanker is quickly becoming a hazardous occupation. We really haven't had any reliable indication of how effective SHORAD is against suicide drone strikes and they seem to be the only line of defense other than EW.
