More information on the FK-3000 air defense system. It's designed for point defense against helicopters, precision guided munitions, UAVs, drone swarms, etc. It has two components: the larger manned vehicle and up to two companion unmanned vehicles. The manned vehicle carries missiles to intercept guided munitions, aircraft, and drone swarms. It also carries a single 30mm AA gun and drone jammers. For added firepower against drone swarms, two companion unmanned vehicle can be added, with each carrying additional missiles. Going by the images, the larger FK-3000/L missile is for intercepting helicopters and large UAVs, and the smaller FK-3000/S is for intercepting guided munitions, small UAVs, and drone swarms.

You should read it carefully. The title of this thread is China UAV & UCAV development. What I am talking about in this thread is the development results of UAVs and their supporting engines. The pictures attached are very clear.

No, you should read the display carefully. This is about the development of an oblique wave detonation engine for hypersonic flights, and how this particular engine can be matched to an airframe design that integrates the air inlet with the engine. The entity responsible for this engine –– The Beijing Institute of Power Machinery –– is not a drone developer. Its sole focus is propulsion. In other words, this is all about the engine.

Scale model of integrated design of flight engine with oblique detonation engine,
The picture shows a scaled model of the aircraft integrated with the engine.
