【Russian Media: China Demonstrates Live-Fire Shooting of an Attack Unmanned Helicopter】
China successfully tested a new attack unmanned helicopter equipped with missile weapons, which completed live-fire shooting during the test and hit the target.
According to the company Tengdun Technology, which is responsible for remote control of the drone, the operator of this drone was a woman — a first in the history of Chinese drone aviation. The drone successfully fired a "air-to-ground" light rocket and accurately hit the designated target.
This has drawn widespread attention from the West.
Western observers speculate that this drone is capable of performing a variety of missions, including tactical strikes, reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as patrol tasks.
The developer did not disclose any specific information about the drone. However, based on the company's product series, this attack drone was developed based on the "Featherless Arrow" helicopter-type drone. Its maximum takeoff weight is 550 kilograms, with a range of 1000 kilometers, endurance of 9 hours, and flight altitude up to 7200 meters.
It is worth noting that two years ago, the Russian "Termit" (Termite) helicopter-type drone had already conducted live-fire tests of the laser-guided S-8L rocket with a range of 6 kilometers.
