Come on?!! What a stupid warmongering comment... would you really shot down a US military plane in international airspace only for what? For you ego??
Actually It is technically in China's airspace.

Concerning the One-China policy yes for sure, but you surely know what happens if the PLAAF downs a US military aircraft over Taiwan!
Here's an ignorant comment of the day award lol
For one, It will surely help Trump win his re-election.

Cross-post from the UAV thread.
Blogger "草根设计师-CAD" hinted at a new attack UCAV aircraft (or some other type), with the following clues about its specifications:
Essential points (please help improve my translation and add if needed):

Any idea what the hell this could be?
I suspect it being an UAV only since a few references to the WL and GJ-11 are made.

Recall in May 2020 that pupu-2012 made the assertion that a "176" attack plane/UAV is being developed. Could this be the same thing?
Blogger "草根设计师-CAD" hinted at a new attack UCAV aircraft (or some other type), with the following clues about its specifications:
Essential points (please help improve my translation and add if needed):
- Its weapons load is over 3 times that of the "Sharp Sword" UAV
- Its top speed is over 3 times that of the "Wing Loong" UAV
- Its endurance is over 3 times that of the J-10
- Its "stealth strike capabilities" (paraphrase - please improve translation!) exceed that of the J-15 and J-16
- It can operate from high-altitude airfields
- It has STOL capabilities and can operate from an "island airport" (code word for aircraft carrier?)
- It can attack air/land/sea targets
- It can mount weapons that the J-20 and FC-31 cannot otherwise carry
- It has high resistance to damage, high operational availability (translation help!), and high serviceability
- The last point needs translation - please provide if you can

Sounds like a hi component of the unmanned attack platform supplemented by something like the GJ-11. Carrier focused perhaps? Big enough to be multirole and catch up with fighters in performance. Enough room perhaps to justify many variants for the navy and airforce.
Still waiting for disclosure on the dark sword. Could this be one and the same? The leaked "full size" mockup of dark sword certainly looks like it might have those range and payload described.
