Spec sheets on drone swarm systems. We are familiar with system-A, but apparently an entire family is in the works.

I see a scenario where the traditional MLRS transitions entirely to guided loitering munitions.

I see a scenario where the traditional MLRS transitions entirely to guided loitering munitions.

No way, too expensive, low speed, small warhead.

More Tengden/Tengoen drones.

The TS10 is an electrically driven loitering attack munition/cruise missile:

TS20 is turbojet powered cruise missile, not really a drone:

The engines for the Tengden/Tengoen TB001A and TB001D have been revealed. The former uses C145HT, and the latter uses C145I. Both engines are made by Chongqing Zongshen Power Machinery Co. (宗申动力).

The original CH-4 was rumored to be powered by the Limbach MD550. Limbach started out as a German company, but was bought by the Chinese in 2011. Production now takes place in Xiamen. Apparently an upgraded version of CH-4 was powered by the Austrian ROTAX-915IS. Now, ROTAX-915IS has been replaced by the 118kw Skylark DB416 engine (2nd and 3rd image) made by Hangrui Power (航瑞动力).
