You mean WJ-9 still not good enough? 900kg payload for CH-5 is very good. It can carry 6 KD-10 missile plus at least two 185kg JADM.

My bad. Sorry just noticed it says maiden flight.

VTOL drone VD200 is scheduled for first flight by the end of 2015.

Im so excited in regard of the chinese drone , propelled by the turoprop instead the piston engine. Thats what I was hoping and waiting for, another chinese technology strive indicator. In a few years, China is going to wipe the floor with current USA and Israel drone supremacy. Congratulations, once more

I absolutely agreed.

Of course, by the time China is able to wipe the floor with the current US and Israeli UAV tech, the Americans and the Joos will have much better UAVs anyway.

I dont thing you are going to be much better than China in regard of any military technology field, by the 2019 max, because China is catching up at the astonishing pace. But thats only personal impression and a desire, I wouldnt go further wit this, who is going to get upper hand, since only time will tell

Cant wait to see if some VD 200 drone photo, are going to get leaked
