China has demonstrated a full-fledged analogue of the American shock drone MQ-9 Reaper

China has developed a full-fledged analogue of the American percussion drone MQ-9 Reaper. According to the portal janes.com, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) tested combat capabilities drone CH-5.

During the tests, the Chinese drone launched new missiles and successfully hit targets. Characteristics of ammunition are not disclosed. In addition, CASC reported that in August of this year, the AR-5 missiles equipped with a laser guidance system were successfully launched with the CH-1.



China has demonstrated a full-fledged analogue of the American shock drone MQ-9 Reaper


Tests of the combat capabilities of the CH-5 drone were held at a military airfield located in Gansu Province. The launch of a missile equipped with a fragmentation warhead was carried out at an altitude of 3500 m. The CASC indicates that test launches made it possible to test both the capabilities of the missile and the operation of the electro-optical module and mounts for ammunition.

The CH-5 drone (Cai hong 5, “Rainbow-5”) was first unveiled at the AirShow China last November. The developers are positioning it as an analogue of the American shock drone MQ-9 Reaper. Chinese drone looks similar to its American "brother", and is almost identical to him in weight and dimensions. The CH-5 is about 11 m long, its wingspan reaches 21 m. The drone can be in the air for up to 60 hours and rise to an altitude of up to 10 km. The maximum take-off weight of the drone is 3,3 t, of which about a third is given to weapons and combat systems, reports "Warspot".

    On the MAX was, apparently, a layout, but it was immediately obvious that it was Chinese.

      So it will be on sale soon. Maybe buying a stranger will push our developers, I know, not patriotic, but you need to somehow bridge the gap, but it’s already decent.

        When will we demonstrate anything besides the “Rogozin” chatter?

          A video of the flight of the Russian reconnaissance UAV Orion in the sky over Syria appeared on the Web. According to the commentary, the footage was shot over the city of Al-Latamina in the province of Hama.

          I’m already tired of explaining on the forum that UAVs are a simple sensor for the system. Without a system, this sensor is not effective ... The system receives a signal from the sensor and controls an actuator, a means of destruction, starting from an artillery system (for example, MCTs) and ending with a rocket. The work of this entire system should take place in real time and in automatic mode. If there is manual control, the system immediately loses its efficiency and cannot work in real time .... All our trouble, all our lag is due to the lack of a system in the form of combat information systems. . We simply don’t have them ... You can buy UAVs - Chinese or Israeli, but nothing can change from this. This UAV will not be able to work in our system, it will not be able to control our weapons ... No one understands this on the forum. The problem is not in UAVs, the problem is in combat information systems. They do not understand this in the military leadership ... There were attempts, but they were defeated by idiots in general uniforms ... For example, even the MSTU and the MLRS Tornado provide for work from non-existent combat information systems .... Without such systems, you can’t even fight in Syria. We don’t know anything about the enemy, and if we learn something with the help of non-systemic UAVs, we’ll be very late, and we can use this information, target designation only for stationary purposes ....

          Does the control come from a toy remote control within a radius of 50 m?
          For pyndos, the shock drone works almost anywhere in the world, and control is carried out from the territory of the USA, and this drone is integrated into the general information system ...
          The question is to all dummies, and the Chinese and the Israelis are selling their information system? No, they sell a remote in the form of a car ... And what is its radius?
          You can’t buy an impact drone, then compare a piece of cake in the form of a UAV, and a cake - an integrated information system - with a piece of useless shit ... with a remote control .. How much can you repeat nonsense?

And now their interest is the Indian Ocean, where their adversary is located - India. Soon we will witness the clash of two densely populated sworn neighbors.

          No, TU-300 (Korshun-U), as well as TU-121 and TU-130DP, which were intended for delivering nuclear strikes against targets on the territory of the enemy. Work in this direction has advanced far enough, even prototype tests have taken place. However, due to the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles, both projects were closed at the very beginning of the 60s.
          And there were also super-sonic UAVs, for example, Hawk, with a maximum speed of 2700 km ... and this was in the 60s.

                Nonsense who gives up idiocy.

                In the middle of the “zero” I was engaged in the search for technologies translated into the dual-use category - in factories - “mailboxes” of declassified technologies for civilian use.
                So the people told me how in the nineties they "merged" the technology "for" to America, for beautiful promises. The then management of factories poisoned by ideas of thoughtless conversion and commercialization was worth saying the word "fax" and they rolled their eyes and... The emerald spring light flashed and trembled in the dark corners of the plagued janitor. Diamond smoke held on to the ceiling. Pearl beads rolled across the table and hopped across the floor. A precious mirage shook the room ..."(with)

                They exported megatons of various documentation, a bunch of "brains". And in return they slipped Gaidar with a training manual on the destruction of the country.

                I do not exclude that a lot of documentation was lost, exported without a trace. Then all the special services were perplexed. Gorbachev, and then the EBN hammered that we have no secrets from American "friends". How they annealed with Klin Blinton. Only the second did not forget about matters.

                Some of the technologies have been lost, others have stopped and are already hopelessly outdated by the time of renewal. Technology needs evolution. Here, I think the answer.

                    I will responsibly say that the Americans were not ready that the Union would fall apart so quickly. For them, this was also a surprise.
                    Moreover, they were opponents of the collapse of the USSR. Not from some friendly positions, but they were purely afraid that nuclear weapons would spread and fall to Islamic terrorists.

                    And then, this bacchanalia with technology was also unexpected, and therefore unsystematic. What anyone got anywhere was not known. Intel and IBM and Lokhi-Martin and Boeing rode around Russia and who just did not roam. Intel managed to snub the development of the superscalar processor - the current Pentium - in front of the nose at IBM at Babayan (ICST).

                    The documentation could not get on the profile - they dragged everything that comes across - then we'll figure it out, plus various internal lobbies did not allow us to realize our best practices. As an option.
