UAV is an indispensable and important equipment in modern warfare. Whether in the military or civilian fields, UAVs are becoming more and more popular. However, only a few countries can develop military UAVs for long-endurance inspections, and my country is one of them.
At present, the Rainbow-5 UAV is the latest model of my country's Rainbow series of surveillance and combat drones. It has a load capacity of 1 ton and can carry a variety of weapons to achieve precise strikes on the ground. The strike height has also increased to more than 6000 meters. Flying continuously for more than 40 hours, with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Approaching the rainbow drone test flight
Reports show that the Rainbow series drones are very popular in overseas sales, and the number of orders is almost saturated. Why is it so popular? Next, follow the reporter into the Rainbow UAV test flight base to see its performance.

Ready to fly.
This is a Rainbow UAV flight test base in Ningxia. Each Rainbow UAV will be carefully tested before being sold. The project to be tested today is the light-mounted endurance and long-distance satellite communication capabilities of the Rainbow-4 Observation and Fighting Integrated UAV. The so-called light-load endurance is the endurance time of the aircraft under standard load conditions. This is the most valued skill for UAVs in the military field. The longer the light-load endurance, the higher the combat efficiency. The results of the light-mounted endurance test have to wait until the plane has landed and are calculated by fuel consumption. The next thing to test is the long-distance satellite communication function. The test of this function will be controlled by the Beijing team.
To test the satellite communication function of the drone, why choose Beijing, which is thousands of miles away? The flight of the UAV is controlled by the ground base station, which is like the "heart" in the UAV system. The closer the base station is to the battlefield, the greater the risk of being hit. Because the "Rainbow" 4 is equipped with a satellite communication system, the combat radius has increased to 2000 to 3000 kilometers, which is more than 10 times larger than the original. This ensures that the ground base station of the Rainbow UAV can be set up far away from the combat area. This improves the safety of ground base stations.
At this time, the UAV being tested in Ningxia is ready to return. Today’s test results show that the light-carrying time of this drone is fully up to the standard. The fuel consumption is only 9.5 kg at a flying speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Based on a 10-hour flight, the total fuel consumption is 95 kg. The amount of oil is 280 kg. Calculated in this way, you can save 185 kg of load for mounting weapons.
After passing various tests, the Rainbow-4 drone can be delivered to customers. Foreign customers usually send students to China to study in order to reduce the losses caused by misoperation. These targeted services have also won a larger market space for the "Rainbow" drone.
Shi Wen, chief engineer of the Rainbow UAV series: Rainbow UAV has a high degree of automation in flight operations. After a period of time, usually two to three months, the basic theory of (trainees), his practical training Can reach the use capacity. With the development of artificial intelligence, in the future, Rainbow UAVs will have a large amount of automation, automatic identification, and automatic identification of targets. People are mainly doing the management of aircraft systems and mission systems, which greatly reduces the demand for human resources.
Pterodactyl-2: The plug-in capability is enhanced and the battery life has not changed
In addition to the "Rainbow", my country also has a very well-known surveillance drone, which is the "Pterodactyl". It is also the first UAV to enter the service of our army.
Last February, the latest model of the Pterosaur "Pterosaur 2" completed its first flight. In December of the same year, a target test was conducted to launch five consecutive missiles of different types, setting a new record for domestic UAV target tests. Some media speculate that "Pterosaur 2" has entered service in our army in the near future, but this news has not been officially confirmed.
"Pterosaur 2" is 11 meters long, 4.1 meters high, and has a wingspan of 20.5 meters. The plug-in capacity has been increased from 200 kg to 480 kg, but its battery life remains the same, still 20 hours.
A variety of inspection and combat drones form a combat force
As an integrated surveillance drone, in practical applications, surveillance and combat are seamlessly linked. At present, a variety of integrated drones for inspection and combat have entered service in our army and have gradually formed combat forces.
This is the first live firing training of our first batch of inspection and combat drones after the deployment of troops. The pilot accurately controlled the drone to find the target at the first time, and then quickly entered the attack route. The target was destroyed after tens of seconds. This breakthrough was achieved by my country's first type of surveillance and attack integrated UAV, the first type of attack.
Just a few months after the completion of this exercise, the Chinese Air Force’s first UAV unit for surveillance and combat was established. Since the establishment of the seed force for "UAV combat capability generation", it has provided my country’s new unmanned unit in exercises and training. Aircraft combat has accumulated a wealth of experience.
In the 2014 "SCO" joint counter-terrorism military exercise of Peace Mission, the "Attack One" UAV debuted on the international stage for the first time. This is the "attack one" UAV that is fully equipped and ready to take on tasks such as persistent reconnaissance, surveillance, precision attack and damage effectiveness evaluation. During the exercise, the attack-type UAV searched and confirmed the blue army command vehicle in a complex electromagnetic environment and destroyed it immediately.
In 2015 and 2016, the Air Force UAV unit carried a new type of UAV to the plateau experimental field for training. It has accumulated valuable experience for drones to conduct operations at high altitudes and under complex and harsh conditions.
Military expert Yin Zhuo: Most of the places where drones are used are places where people are rare, especially in border areas. In the past, people used to ride horses or other means. Now drones are used for intelligence. The update speed is faster. In addition, when we talk about the integration of inspection and attack, after discovering some unknown targets, especially those with weapons and terrorists who crossed the border illegally, they can be dealt with directly by drones. If the targets are identified, they can ask their superiors for permission. If we strike, we can strike against these targets. Therefore, in the plateau area, we are in the northwest border area, and our control capabilities will be much stronger.
Put yourself in the square cabin and kill thousands of miles away. This is the command and control cabin of the UAV, which can accurately judge the flight status, accurately grasp the battlefield situation, aim at the target, and attack quickly. These pilots who control drones calmly are all transformed from pilots with manned fighters.
Military expert Yin Zhuo: In combat, it is very important to provide a good flying posture for this weapon and detection platform. Most of them have flown fighter jets, so he has no difficulty in controlling drones. When encountering bad weather conditions, how to manipulate the aircraft out of the bad weather, and then re-plan the route so that the aircraft can return home safely, combat (aircraft) pilots are also very important. Both his psychological quality and his experience are very important. Therefore, a fighter pilot should say that he should not go through any training. After a little one or two weeks of adaptation training, he can get started immediately.
It is also a common practice internationally to let manned pilots fly drones. In recent years, this UAV unit has also attracted pilots who have flew three generations of aircraft such as the "J-10" to join, and many of them have won the "Air Force Golden Helmet" award.
Mature drone control or formation with manned aircraft
This year, my country successfully completed 200 fixed-wing unmanned cluster flight tests, setting a world record for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle cluster flight. So, can UAVs fly in formation with manned aircraft? Let's listen to what military experts say.
Military expert Yin Zhuo: I think our current drone control technology is very mature. For example, the problem of our swarms and swarms. You can see that our swarm drones can reach dozens or hundreds. , Can be operated. Therefore, these aircraft will fly in formation with manned aircraft in the future. This possibility is very high and promising.
In the sci-fi movie "Top Secret Flight" released in 2005, the US Navy's carrier-based fighters and an artificial intelligence unmanned fighter named "Eddie" coordinated operations. This kind of plot of manned and drone teaming seemed quite sci-fi at the time, but today, 13 years later, it has gradually become a reality.
Military expert Yin Zhuo: It is controlled by the J-20 pilots and cooperates with this stealth drone at high speed. I think this kind of cooperation will happen in a few years in the future. After the J-20, these drones with better stealth performance are pushed to the front, the first to detect the target, and inform the J-20 and J-20 formations that there are enemy aircraft in front, about how many and at what altitude , In what direction. In this case, when my radar is not turned on, I might launch it first. These UAVs can also guide missiles launched by the J-20. I think it will be effective.
Modern air combat is a confrontation between "system and system." UAVs can not only coordinate with a certain fighter plane, but also integrate into complex combat systems as an important node.
In the 2016 Red Sword large-scale system confrontation exercise, the pterosaur inspection and combat unit was responsible for various tasks such as forward reconnaissance, strike and evaluation. It has realized the combat effects of information sharing and coordinated strikes with manned aircraft and multiple aircraft types.
Today, the Chinese Air Force drones are gradually becoming a new growth point for the Air Force, a strategic service, to face the future and enhance combat effectiveness through a three-step plan of "shortening the gap, forming a system, and integrating air and space."
my country has developed many new types of drones
In the field of drones, new models and technologies are constantly emerging. Chinese researchers have also aimed at the future development trend of drones and have developed many new types of drones. Next, I will introduce a few of them.
This peculiarly shaped aircraft is my country’s first cargo drone AT-200. It completed its first flight in October last year. According to its manufacturer, it is also the world's first tonnage-level cargo drone with a payload of 1.5 tons. In the same level of aircraft, it has amazing take-off and landing capabilities. It can take off or land within 200 meters when fully loaded with cargo. It can also take off and land on a simple runway or even on soil slopes and grass. Therefore, it can not only be used for civilian purposes, but also has the potential to carry out military transportation tasks, providing material transportation guarantee for mountainous areas, islands and other hard-to-reach areas.
This is my country's first large-scale amphibious drone U-650. It can take off and land autonomously on the water, with a continuous flight time of up to 15 hours and a battery life of 2,000 kilometers. As a medium-altitude long-endurance amphibious drone, U-650 is also useful in the military field. It has a mission load of 100 kg, can mount high-performance photoelectric pods, synthetic aperture radars, etc., and perform a variety of Monitoring tasks.
