GLOBALink | China's long-range WJ-700 UAV showcased at Airshow China 2021

Finally not only a very clear image of a PLAAF WZ-7 but the first one showing full serial numbers. In fact it is a bit surprising, but no. 21071 fits to the 16th Special Mission (or Specialised) Division in the NTC, which so far operates several Y-8/9 EW-variants.

WJ-700 is a HALE, can perform ISTAR missions via SATCOM or datalink over a range of 2400 km, in attack mode it can carry various munitions. China bans export of HALE since 2015 (alongside with supercomputer exceeding 8 teraflop), wonder why the ban is lifted for this deal? Who's the buyer?

I was not aware of such limitation until you brought it to my attention. My guess would be to Saudi Arabia or UAE.

I think the ban on super computers is based on very outdated specs and needs to be significantly revised upwards when single professional GPU cards are already pushing tens of double precision teraflops.
