China does not admit that it copied a drone from Russia and tests it.

China has tested a new drone "Lijian", which was found to be extremely similar to the Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Skat". Lagging behind other countries in the development of military aircraft, China has only recently launched into industrial production a copy of the Russian carrier-based fighter.

About the 20-minute test flight drone "Lijiang" in an unidentified test center in the south-west of China told the site Want China Times. According to the publication, photos of the new UAV appeared on Chinese sites in May of this year. Creating such drones like Lijian, Wing Loong and CH-4, China is gradually catching up with the United States and Israel in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, the site says.

But the Russian magazine "Military Parade" questioned the authorship of the PRC: according to Russian journalists, the "Lijiang" is a copy of the Russian drone "Skat". Moreover, the Chinese aircraft can use the RD-33 engine mounted on the Skat.

At the same time, a professor at Peking University aviation and astronautics Huang Jun categorically denies the accusation of the Russian magazine. According to him, the Chinese drone may well be similar to the American X47-B and the Russian Skat, but this is only due to the fact that all unmanned aerial vehicles are designed in this way.

        I would understand the accusations of copying when "Skaty" is not in a model, but has been tested and adopted by the Russian army, and so, I am ready to support those who are called "shit polymers", and not the author of the article in the magazine.

            However, in any case, the external similarity is very alarming.

            And me not too much. Whatever one may say, the flying wing will remain a wing, only the outlines will be slightly different. And the installation locations of air intakes and engines will change. Therefore - the air intake on the face, - the first and logical thing that comes to mind, otherwise - depends on the level of specialists in aerodynamics.
            But nevertheless, commentators are right in some ways, it is unlikely that they could have done without stiff calculations from TsAGI.

    Friends and partners can not so shamelessly rip off everything that is available for viewing. The statements of the Chinese "comrades" that China and Russia are strategic partners is a screen, behind which trivial theft takes place.
    You might as well to call them "partners" - an ordinary citizen and a pickpocket who robbed him.

    But Russian magazine "Military Parade" questioned the authorship of the PRC: according to Russian journalists, "Lijian" is a copy of the Russian unmanned aerial vehicle "Skat". Moreover, the Chinese aircraft can use the RD-33 engine installed on the Skat.

    Firstly: I liked that the word "RUSSIAN" appeared, already progress.
    Second: something tells me that China is being helped to get military technology, not only they themselves steal, copy. A similar case was with the nose of the F-22, one in one turned out from the Chinese.

            So what? Will this help him greatly with his size and Russian engines? Well, he does not look like a fighter. Bomber, attack aircraft.

            Will help a lot. In the end. Take 2 tons less and fly.
            Let's not underestimate the "partner". Their hands are constantly in motion, heredity. It will not work, they will redo it. Technology, even theory, should not be allowed to leak. Moreover, to sell machines like the Su-35, aircraft-carrying cruisers, etc. etc.

    to create (steal) glider geometry is not even half the battle ...
    it seems to me that it’s much more difficult to create aircraft equipment ...
    This is confirmed by the su-33 they stole: the glider is ready, but there is no sense.

    At the same time, professor at the Beijing University of Aviation and Astronautics Huang Jun categorically denies the accusation of the Russian magazine. According to him, the Chinese drone may well be similar to the American X47-B and the Russian Skat, but this is only due to the fact that all unmanned aerial vehicles are designed in a similar way.

    Apparently, under his leadership, the apparatus was "fooled" ...

    How can you copy something that isn't there? Pictures, layouts, etc. does not count - I myself can draw a "promising" super-duper-mega-ultra-papelats, copy to your health! hi

    Guys, we have a proverb "They harness for a long time, but they drive fast." There are many things in our country that are not in the world. The most annoying thing is that for some reason "all" is done by others. It is a pity that it is impossible for the old "harnessing people" to stand up to the wall, while others will be put in, they will quickly harness and ride. drinks
