Flight Global:

The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has displayed a model of the WJ-700, a new long-range UAV designed for reconnaissance and attack missions.

The jet powered WJ-700 has an endurance of 20hr and has two hard points under each wing. The example on display was shown with models of the CM-102 anti-radiation missile, the C701 ground attack missile, and the C705KD anti-ship missile.

The WJ-700 appears to be similar in mission scope to the WJ-600, which CASIC has displayed models of in years past.

According to CASIC, the WJ-700 is a “high-speed reconnaissance-strike integrated UAV system,” that can conduct autonomous wheeled takeoffs and landings.
