Chinese version of Predator and copy of AC130 gunship

The Chinese don't hold a candle to the SOviets when it comes to copying.

After WW2, a U.S. B-29 made a forced landing in the USSR. In 1945, the B-29 was the B-2 of its day. It was pressurized, had remote-controlled gun turrets, and could fly higher and faster than many fighter planes.

Stalin confiscated the B-29, and told his engineers, "I want a PERFECT copy of this airplane." And when Uncle Joe says perfcet, he means perfect. They were taken down to the last nut and bolt. The result was the Tu-4 "Bull" heavy bomber.

The B-29 factory ran out of one shade of primer, and halfway through this one airplane, the color changed slightly. This was replicated on the Tu-4. Apparently, even some graffiti on some internal aluminum structures was replicated. The engineers didn't want to be accused by Stalin of a less-than-perfect copy.
