Interesting. AVIC Shaanxi is apparently developing a very large unmanned cargo UAV named IbisShadow-60 (鹮影60).

Interesting. AVIC Shaanxi is apparently developing a very large unmanned cargo UAV named IbisShadow-60 (鹮影60).

If it uses four AEP100 engines, its total power will be an astonishing 3,600 kilowatts, approaching the 3,800 kilowatts of the An-24. This power is extremely impressive for a drone.

The tail section and overall wing design is rather close to the Y-8/9, though.

Imagine releasing 10000 of these over any battlefield, microdrones flying at 340kph or 211mph.

This is new. Aisheng ASN-206/207 is in service with Namibia, which showed it off during a military parade. Another UAV (2nd image below) was also shown, and it's the JOUAV CW-30E hybrid VTOL UAV.

A nice image of the W5000 unmanned cargo UAV next to people to give an idea of its size.

The first Lanying (镧影) R6000 has just rolled off the assembly line. R6000 is a 6-ton tilt-rotor, specs are found in the second image below.

R6000 will make its first flight soon.

Expect Jiutian to have its first flight in June. Can release hundreds of smaller drones at a time. Can launch and hit target in 1.3s (this doesn't mean much to me)

Not sure if this has anything to do with the Jiutian/Jetank UAV. The video was allegedly taken in Xi'an and shows a swarm of drones.
