The fourteenth international air show, Airshow China, started this morning. As part of this, many interesting announcements await us from the aviation world.

For example, local engineers demonstrated their new development – the new Caihong CH-7 stealth drone. According to the project’s chief engineer, Shi Wen, the fighter jet passed a series of flight tests and was significantly upgraded as a result. The vector of changes was also influenced by the recommendations of the military.

The improved version of the drone reportedly has a wingspan of 26 meters, which is 4 meters more than its predecessor. In this case, the maximum altitude that the drone can conquer is 15 km.

Experts state that the novelty can fly higher and stay in the air longer, carrying out 24-hour reconnaissance and monitoring, especially in dangerous conditions. It can also be equipped with a large number of missiles.
