This is interesting.





What looks like a UAV version of the L15 trainer. This has a high mounted wing versus the mid-mounted wing on the L15(and other fighters and trainers).

But it still features the same LERX as L-15, air intakes, wing/tail shapeetc etc. What would it be for though? Looks more like a fighter than any UAV I've seen...

Nice livery/paintjob.
It was under a lot critics in China though, blaming it is too thunder-birdish.
actually, it is too thunder-birdish to my eyes.
and the four characters brought a lot frown-ups was well, instead of saying PLAAF, they actually say, CHINA AIRFORCE.

WS-12 medium-thrust turbine engine displayed at Zhuhai 2012















This seems like a good fit for both JL10 (L-15) and the new HALE reconnaissance UAV Soar Dragon...

Its about time NORINCO developed an SDB equivalent, though this seems to be bigger with a larger warhead

LT-500 glide bomb analogous of the American JSOW making its Zhuhai debut.

I'm surprised that most of China's new generation PGM are up for sale this year... They usually don't offer new technologies unless they haven't gotten PLA funding, but we've already seen LT-500 on JH7A's.
Maybe something better has been developed, China rarely exports the best of its inventory.

Agreed, but looks cool though.......i think they used the same colour pallet of american flag. Next time they should try something traditional.
