Of course, the story is that the plane is powered by a WS-9 engine with a capacity of 12,500-13,500 (25,000 lbs). Comparisons always arise with ground attack aircraft, for example with an aircraft like the JH-7a, and it is less expensive than aircraft like the J-10, and even comparisons with other unmanned aircraft marketed internationally, such as the Akıncı, although the Turkish aircraft is less capable.

That thing is wild. I presume it is vulnerable at fruck (slow, big, ugly target) but it doesn't matters - to the PLAAF - because if hunted, no pilot killed. While the A.I immediately dumps the drone swarm like a cloud of venomous bees or hornets on the unfortunate ennemy soldiers below.

Those chinese are... imaginative, to say the least. It's like The great dictator Herring wunderwaffens - except done right. Or Batman's Joker crazy whacky schemes playing havoc with Gotham city.
