China's new unmanned Stealthbomber

>>32706556

>>32706556

The Sharp Sword is under developement for 3-4 years. Nothing new.

New articles only were released because the design bureau was apparently awarded with some project that might be a follow on, or a production type of that drone.

China does indeed need those stealth drones to destroy THAAD.

suppossedly, the 2nd prototype that has flown last year uses a non-afterburning variant of the engine with nozzles removed.

Afterburning engines on these types of drones is not very useful.

It is.

Equipped with VHF-AESAs all around the twin-body airframe, as well as ELINT systems, it will serve as China's counter-stealth near-space altitude radar system.

The twin-body design was literally chosen for mounting as many radars on that drone as possible. In any other role, it would be a prohibitively heavy and draggy design.

so whose tech did the slopes copy? we all know the yellow horde can't innovate.

The fuselage has pretty big fairings to house the large meterwave AESAs.

The Global Hawk BAMS does similiar with a even narrower body. AESA panels do not need that much space, even those in the meter-band - which is why the Russians could house their powerful L-band arrays inside the wing leading edges of the Su-35, after all.

Yes. A pretty powerful piece of hardware, with radar-surface size larger than an usual fighter radar.

In fact, the E-2C/D's radars are mere seven meters long and a few cm high 'thin bars' inside the rotordome.

The fuselage of the Divine Eagle is 13m long and offers at least 9-10 meters long a meter high useful radar-space.

It's cute when third-worlders try to make a case that they can produce anything of quality. Especially when they go cheap, take short cuts, and don't really understand that even if their hardware, designs, and quality control was half decent they still have to solve the doctrine, training, and logistics side of things.

But let's not worry about that. Instead, let's worry about where the fuck the fried dumplings are. Back to the kitchen Charlie Chan. That fried rice won't make itself will it?

>>32706862
Except the US one is also the best aerodynamic formula for a a lifting diamond shaped body. Also, the X-47 is a carrier borne drone... Which means folding wings.
Take this from a nationalistic frog.

Figured with that large of a population they'd at least have someone competent enough to pilot a machine. Definitely something off about it if they can't put a person in it. Most likely will end up falling out of the sky on it's own.

God dammit China, if you really have all this cool shit then use it on India for some field testing.

Drones can't be as stealthy as manned jets. The reason why is that drones need to continually emit a strong radio signal.
