Chinese UCAV/CCA/flying wing drones (ISR, A2A, A2G) thread
- Thread starter VESSEL
- Start date
Rough measurements by comparing to the accompanying Y-9 yields a wingspan of ~11-12 meters for the unknown UCAV.
This is a pretty sizeable (high-tier) UCAV...

Which is either a good thing or bad thing, good thing is that if it ain't on the ground it potentially could be in the air but bad thing is it could very well not be shown.
IMO without knowing their relative positions to one another and to the camera, I would be very hesitant to use that video/image as a basis for estimating its size (in terms of putting a number to it).
It's very possible, but imo unable to be confirmed given the quality of imagery of both the flying airframe and the various airframes caught on satellite are rather poor.
The shape is definitely designed for supersonic use so ground attack is unlikely.
It seems to be just a J-16.The picture is too small so the pixels of the tail wing are squeezed and blurred.

At this angle and distance it should be pretty obvious to see the discontinuation from the wings and tail plus also the very tall verticle stabilizers. Which none are present
