Some interesting photos today from 沉默的山羊. GJ2 is considered the best at striking target amongst the currently serving UCAVs in China and that it is first echelon in the world. Makes sense for plaaf to order the one that it thinks is the best in this role. It can attack from 9000m high.
also from photos posted by 沉默的山羊. The WZ10 really got a lot of treatment from the rear. I think it should be quite stealthy. The build quality isn't like what you would find on J-20, but aside from that, everything looks pretty clean and is probably a level higher in stealth than GJ2 or WZ7. I'm just a little bummed that it uses WP11C. Not exactly something you want in a drone that's expected to play a role in 2020s.
I guess it means GJ-11 is not yet in service now.
WP-11 is not a problem, it’s more likely operating in Taiwan rather than anywhere.
I don't think they are comparing gj2 to gj11 here. Gj11 is a lot more survivable but there is no reason it can definitively strike targets more accurately.
I think you will want wz10 to have enough endurance to hang in the air for a while or do missions a little further out than Taiwan.
At least in the photo he doesn’t mention “accurately” but only “No.1 among surveillance-and-strike UAVs in service”.
In fact - and even more so after the CS-5000T was unveiled, I slowly get the feeling, there is no GJ-11 ready ...
We've seen the demonstrator in 2013 and since then NOTHING but mock-ups. Itt's almost like Nessi, the Yeti or the WP-14 Kunlun.
