Built to kill: China unveils its latest heavyweight contender in military drone race

The Chinese military’s flagship drone Rainbow 5 made its debut on state television on Sunday, showing off new weapons and the latest technology to “change the game in airstrikes”.

Rainbow 5, or Caihong 5 (CH-5), is the latest in a series of unmanned aerial vehicles developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation to hunt and kill in battle.

With a take-off weight of more than three tonnes and a wingspan similar to that of the United States’ Reaper drone, Rainbow 5 is China’s latest entry in the heavyweight military drones race dominated by the US.

The Rainbow 5’s test flight was conducted “recently” at an undisclosed airfield in Gansu province, state-run China Central Television reported 8yesterday.

The test flight comes ahead of a massive military parade to be held in Beijing on Thursday that will showcase cutting-edge technology.

For instance, with a one-tonne carrying capacity – 2 1/2 times more than its previous model – the Rainbow 5 can lift off with a wall-penetrating radar to identify and track targets inside a building.

The drone’s chief designer, Ou Zhongming, said this kind of radar would change the way military drones were used in the country’s counterterrorism missions.

At present, Chinese drones cannot open fire until they receive confirmation from ground personnel on targets hidden within buildings.

That is why the drones have – until now – been playing only a supporting role to conventional military operations.

But all this was set to change, as the Rainbow 5 took a bigger role in future missions, Ou said.

“Terrorists have their hideouts. They can hide in a bush or in a house. That requires us to go through walls and identify the objects inside,” Ou said in the CCTV report.

The Rainbow 5 could also perform missions with little or no ground support – another feature that would bring major changes to China’s airstrike strategies – the chief designer said.

The use of wall-penetrating radar on drones is not a Chinese invention. The US military has reportedly tested the technology on numerous missions in the Middle East.

But another Rainbow 5 designer, Lan Wenbo, said the new Chinese drone was equipped with more advanced technology that better equipped it for future warfare.

“It can also support and protect other drones with electronic warfare devices, such as suppressing the enemy’s radar. It will significantly increase the effectiveness of an attack,” Lan said.

The Rainbow 5’s first flight lasted about 20 minutes, CCTV reported. The drone, which has room for six missiles, can stay in the air for more than 30 hours.

China is the world’s biggest drone maker, with some civilian models dominating the global market.

But the technology used in Chinese military drones still lags that of the US because of a lack of advanced sensors and powerful, reliable engines, according to some mainland experts.

I wonder if @Zarvan has seen this thread yet or is he creating a thread on

China developing new attack helicopter with stealth abilities - World - DAWN.COM

we must get the TOT of that after getting 200 of them.

2020 is way to late we need WZ-10 with engine wz16 and other upgrades done by China best replacement for our cobras. As for CH5 you will soon hear about this in our media tested by Pakistan

@Irfan Baloch
the ch-5 is good platform that can be used for other purposes other than blowing terrorists to hell.


one example is that it can be used for marine patrol as shown below with the mq-9. this will reduce cost and also increase surveillance area that missile boats or the coast guard cant cover in a short period of time.

from my under standing tai tried to sell you the tai anka with the option for marine surveillance (as shown below) . also as a sweetener pac is also building subsections for it too. the anka can be used for ground surveillance too.

also it can be used for border patrol too. it will give to an eye in to your neighbours border.

the ch-5 is much more capable than the dji phantom2

like the General Atomics Avenger. now that would be amazing for you guys.

British drone a are also blowing daesh these days.
what type or version are they? I know BAE developed its own very sleek stealth drone. but not sure about the ones that are hunting Daesh in Iraq/ Syria


you know any info?

media is clueless and cant tell a difference between combat and utility helicopter.
lets wait for direct word from involved parties.

Sir this CH 5 report didn't came in any media this is basic common sense. Burraq with two missile is good start but not enough we need bigger and lethal drone like CH 5

yes we are developing the BAE taranis. it built not too far from my parents house, in fact as well as the eft. the taranis is still top secret and only very limited images available. now some of the bae taranis components will be implemented on to the european Dassault nEUROn
below are images of the bae taranis

below are images of the Dassault nEUROn notice how it's very similar to the taranis

for drone strikes we use the mq-9 reaper

What are these bombs I mean other than HELL FIRE ?

 

[Goenitz]

wings seems at breaking point... anyway thats very economical and good uses as per its ceiling and air time

i have a Question ?
is there a possibility to install permanent SONARs off shore.. which can give live feedback of any intruder..
what w'd be the life of such component.. and range?

 

[AliWaqar]

ch-5 reaper sy Best hoga ?

Is it true that HALE UAV's need Satellite's for it's use ? As they have high range and it's impossible to sight communicate a UAV from 400-500 km's distance.
If it's true. do we have such DEDICATED satellite access for Use of CH-5 type HALE Uav's ?

no the wing are very strong it so the the wing cut through the air more efficiently
now commercial jets are following suit the Boeing 787, 747-8 and the Airbus a350 have the wings that flex,
and the up coming 777x too has flexing wings and they will be folding too as shown below

yes its work duel boss some long range work with sat control short range work normal controllers.yes we still dont hhave access to sat but sure with PF we have also

thanks for details. I have seen the only front media picture of British stealth drone few years back. I though Brits must be using American drones . but was not sure.. you confirmed

yea we will lease the Chinese satellite use for that reason. until the Chinese send one of our own for us in Space.

@Zarvan , @Imran Khan ,

satellites are needed for long range drone strikes . for example an RAF mq-9 are in Afghanistan whilst the controller in in the UK at an RAF base controlling it. they don't need satellites they can be pre-programmed.

satellites can be used to merge the eyes of many uav's to get a wider understanding of the situation and manage them much more effectively.

ANKA is having issues lately. lets see if they rectify them. I agree drones have many roles apart from blowing people up they can be used in search and rescue, surveillance and weather / flood monitoring etc.

 

[RealNapster]

and what "type" of satellite is required for such job ? communication ? military ? spy ?
when are we going to launch such sattelite ? any progress report ?

some problem with video. can't play .
so you mean that it is POSSIBLE to avoid use of sattelite for such Uav's in some cases ? if yes. what are those cases ?
