>EXCLUSIVE: New satellite imagery obtained by Fox News shows that China, for the first time, has deployed a drone with stealth technology to a contested island in the South China Sea, in another sign of escalating tensions in the region.
>The new development comes as President Obama visits Japan. He lifted an arms embargo against Vietnam while visiting Hanoi earlier this week, drawing criticism from the Chinese government about stoking tensions in the region.
>The newly obtained satellite images from ImageSat International (ISI) show a Chinese Harbin BZK-005 long range reconnaissance drone on Woody Island in the South China Sea.
>The drone can remain airborne for up to 40 hours.
>The Chinese drone did not appear armed in the satellite image taken last month. For the time being, the BZK-005 does not have the capability to fire missiles, unlike other drones in China’s inventory.
Seriously. Is Murrica going to hyperventilate about every shitty thing the Chinese are going to put on their islands?

I thought for a sec they were claiming the poor shoop was the drone. I was about to die laughing.

The news is for China to read. In case you haven't been watching, the US and China have been trying to one-up each other with sat images. It's like when your neighbor is mad that you don't trim your lawn so he sends you anonymous pictures of your children getting off the bus so you reply with pics of his wife at work.

Wh...what?

Wow that chink knockoff of a predator looks exactly how you'd expect a chink knockoff to look. Gg
>>30076535
Yeah, the BZK005 is pretty big, especially compared to those tactical drones they use for arty spotting.

Get your facts right. Their Predator knockoff is the Pterodactylus-I/WD-1K UCAV.
>>30076664
And it is actually selling like hotcakes right now, after it has shown its performance in Iraqi service against ISIS.
>>30076679
So everyone's buying chink knock offs while we keep the full package deal to ourselves. I'm fine with that.
>>30076693
Yeah, basically these Chinese drones are to become the AK of UAVs.
Cheap as dirt and good enough for every tinpot dictator.

I'd watch the hell out of a movie that is essentially this. An aging Liam Neeson and an aging bruce willis both with unconfirmed spoop pasts become neighbors in a newly built cul de sac and hate each others guts over petty homeowners association violations
