SCMP: New Chinese spy drone ‘will make combat scenes in the movies a reality’, state media claims
Chinese state television has highlighted a new armed spy drone, with one report saying it will be able to work with other unmanned aircraft to carry out reconnaissance and strike operations.
The WJ-700 - which completed its first flight in January - is seen as a key part of the Chinese military's ambitious "unmanned combat system", though analysts say technical challenges remain.
Its use as an unmanned war drone - operating either on its own or as part of an "integrated unit" with other drones - was featured in a report on state broadcaster CCTV's military channel on Monday.
