The function of this type of stealth attack UAV is to carry out rapid defense penetration missions against long-range and high-value enemy targets, especially targets with a very strong air defense capacity.
Meng Xiangqing said that many images apparently showing the maiden flight of the "Sharp Sword",were available online at present. However, this news has not yet been confirmed officially. We should await final confirmation from a spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense.
Explaining the functions and attack strengths of the UAV, Meng Xiangqing said that one of its tasks on the battlefield was to minimize personnel losses. In addition, it has one major advantage: a long hang time. A human-piloted fighter has a flight limit before pilot fatigue sets in; the UAV is not subject to this limitation. As long as its engine and design permit, an unmanned fighter can hang in the sky for as many hours as its fuel payload can sustain.
As has been indicated online, "Sharp Sword" falls into the second category. Its function is to carry out prompt and rapid defense penetration against long-range and high-value enemy targets, especially targets with a very strong air defense capacity. Its combat effectiveness is therefore readily apparent.
