One doesn’t have to shoot down the targeting drones to practice air defense.
New airplane joins us! #Yunying5000T is stationed at Chengdu Aviation Education Base# On January 5th, the target aircraft Yunying-5000T was formally stationed at the base, which further enriches the display of the education base and adds another tool to the dissemination of aviation culture!
“Yunying” is the Chinese pinyin for "cloud shadow".

Matter of Interest on Cloud Shadow 5000T.
1. What is the T stands for? T for catapult?
2. Why they have to hide the rear end of the drone through out the duration of the airshow? What if there is an arrester hook that they didn't want to show?
3. Pls check the landing gear photo, especially the front landing gear.
Is this an indication of catapult capable?

I think the “T” might be the initials for “target plane”.

No lingua anglia, only pinyin.
Well, I think this sounds more like a translation issue and means not target in the meaning of "shoot down" but the "envisioned" plane even more so since yours on that exhibition is clearly not the same like I posted. IMO yours is a smaller sub-scale demonstrator.
