Some screen captures of a BZK-08 participating in an exercise in Xinjiang. The second image gives a rare glimpse of the ground control station.

Had to pull up a picture of the Black hornet. Outside of a similar shell, I don't think it has anything similar. Different cameras and rotors. Just a small complaint but why do people post twitter posts like these? Won't it be better to simply post the image and the site with the info instead?

Something like "ChInA CoPy CaT" is a very eye-catching topic, he will get more readings.

BBE-2 sounds right. MR40 is a sizable quadcopter. I forgot the exact payload numbers, but it should carry a Hellfire sized missile without problems.

I think I found the answer. The MR150 was displayed at Zhuhai 2018 with an 11-kg bomb that is confusingly called the "BBE2".

AA missiles on UAV will come sooner than later... could be pretty good against helicopters if they are fielded on slow moving UAV.

That's a CGI image that dates back to 2010 or earlier.

A certain pure electric UAV under development.

The illustration on the left shows the design evolution of the airframe configuration. The designers looked at four initial configurations, picked the second one from the left, and then refined it into the final form.
