China unveils stealth combat UAV that doesn't need humans

China is testing a new stealth AI UAV that features a monolithic, tailless flying wing design and integrates combat capabilities without human control.

Drones are seen in the Yangfang area in a recent satellite image. Two large devices covered with tarpaulins are located near the testing site, suspected to be prototypes of China's next-generation stealth UAV.

Several specialized vehicles and strange materials were seen in the testing area at the Yangfang base. Construction activities and equipment movements have increased sharply in recent times, raising questions about a secret stealth AI UAV program.

The massive flying wing design has been spotted at a test facility near Malan, Xinjiang. Satellite images show the structure sitting on the runway, with a monolithic shape.

On the left is a tailless UAV with a kite-like delta wing. On the right is a traditional tailed design, showing two different development directions.

Images of the airframe or model of the next-generation fighter jet are captured at the main manufacturing plant in Shenyang.

The Chinese-made CH-4 drone is often compared to the US MQ-1 Predator. The upgraded CH-5 has a similar design but with improved flight range and weapons payload.

The GJ-2 Wing Loong II unmanned aerial vehicle developed by China, capable of reconnaissance and carrying attack weapons, is one of the widely exported UAVs and deployed in many regional surveillance campaigns.

A model of the GJ-11 Sharp Sword stealth drone was displayed by China at a recent military exhibition. The monocoque flying wing design helps reduce radar signals, showing the development direction of a new generation of attack UAVs.
