New Innovation in Drone Development, future Warfare
Precious little is known about the Chinese stealth UAV with the nickname ‘Sharp Sword’. It was first flown in 2013 and by October 2021 was being showcased at Airshow China.
However, what is known is that the absence of a tail in its design should enhance its stealth capabilities and enable agile, high-speed maneuvers. Its internal weapons bay is said to carry over 1,800 kg of payload. According to reported specifications, it boasts a range of 2,485 miles (4,000 km) and can achieve a top speed of 621 mph (1,000 km/h).
