What are the three types of drones for the 09 military parade? Who designed them?

During the military parade on the 60th anniversary of the National Day,151aircraft will form 12 aerial echelon to fly over Tiananmen Square. Zhao Zhongxin, commander-in-chief of the air echelon of the 60th National Day military parade and deputy commander of the Air Force, revealed in an interview with reporters a few days ago that the types and formations of the air echelon are:

Team leader echelon consists of 1 team leader-Air Force Air Police -2000 and 8 J-7GB escort aircraft of Air Force Bayi Performance Team;

The early warning aircraft echelon consists of 1 3 aircraft wedge team and 1 5 aircraft wedge team, consisting of 2 air force airbus -200 and 6 air force J- 1 1 respectively;

Bomber echelon, consisting of 9 H -6H aircraft of the Air Force and 3 3-aircraft wedge teams;

Oil receiver echelon: two wedge-shaped oil receiver detachments are respectively composed of two air force H -6, two air force J- 10 and two J-8D;

The fighter-bomber echelon consists of 15 J -7A naval aircraft and 3 5-aircraft wedge teams;

Fighter echelon, consisting of Air Force 16 J -8F, and 4 right echelons of 4 aircraft;

Fighter echelon, consisting of air force 15 J- 10 fighters, consisting of three wedge-shaped teams of five fighters;

Fighter echelon, consisting of Air Force 12 J- 1 1, consisting of three right echelons of Type 4 fighters;

Helicopter echelon, consisting of five straight-8ks and five straight-8ks of the Air Force, and two five-machine wedge teams;

Helicopter echelon, consisting of Army 18 straight 9-WZ, 1 3 aircraft wedge teams and three 5-aircraft wedge teams;

Helicopter echelon, consisting of Army 18 straight-9WA and two 9-sided "pin" shapes;

This time, I mean the WZ-6 unmanned reconnaissance plane. Chinese mainland's unmanned aerial vehicles developed to a high level in the 1970s 1980, and stagnated after1980, and revived in recent years. For aerial surveillance and ground attack, China's UAV technology is in the forefront of the world. This review shows the small and medium-sized UAVs currently serving in the Army.

The outstanding performance of military unmanned aerial vehicles in recent local wars has attracted great attention of China's military. Since the 1990s, the People's Liberation Army of China has been paying close attention to the U.S. military's operational use of drones, including strategic reconnaissance and participation in actual combat, especially in the Afghan war on terrorism. Even if it only carries out reconnaissance and electronic warfare missions in enemy-occupied areas, the UAV will play the role of a force multiplier for the China People's Liberation Army.

There are sufficient reasons to prove that the China People's Liberation Army, like the US military, believes that UAV is one of the key technologies in the future. At present, there are several UAV R&D centers in China, including Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi, Beihang University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, all of which are actively developing UAV projects to support the tactical C4I system construction of the China People's Liberation Army. In addition, suppliers from several western countries are also actively striving for the UAV market in China. It is believed that China-made UAVs will develop and improve rapidly after receiving foreign aid.

1. Unmanned Reconnaissance -5 UAV (also known as WZ-5) is an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which is still in service in the China People's Liberation Army Air Force. As early as 1960s, the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army of China shot down several "Firebee" unmanned reconnaissance planes belonging to the US Strategic Air Command, while they were conducting reconnaissance missions in Chinese mainland. At least one of them was captured quite well and sent to research institutions for analysis and imitation. Beihang repaired a "Firebee" drone and successfully brought it back to the blue sky. In the late 1970s, China began to imitate the "Firebee" UAV, named it WZ-5 UAV, and its export model was named CH- 1 ("Changhong"-1). The WZ-5 UAV is carried and launched by the mother machine. The mother aircraft was originally a specially improved Tu -4 "Bull" bomber, and was later changed to Yun -8E transport aircraft produced by Xi 'an Aircraft Company. This drone was recovered by parachute. 1979 The Reconnaissance -5 UAV was not used in the self-defense counterattack between China and China, and it is still serving as the only long-range unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army of.

2. No Reconnaissance -9/-2000: Future stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft

At the Zhuhai Air Show in 2000, China Guizhou Aviation Industry Group demonstrated its long-range multifunctional stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft No Reconnaissance -9 (also known as WZ-9 or WZ-2000) for the first time. It is estimated that this kind of UAV powered by fan jet engine has been developed since the mid-1990 s, and a prototype may have been tested.

At the Zhuhai Air Show in 2002, Guizhou Aviation Industry Group exhibited a more exquisite WZ-9/-2000 UAV model, revealing more details. From the overall design, it has many invisible features similar to American products. The huge head protrusion can accommodate the satellite communication antenna, thus transmitting images and electronic intelligence data to the ground control center in real time.

3. A new unmanned reconnaissance launch vehicle.

This unmanned reconnaissance plane can be equipped with various types of optical and thermal imaging cameras or reconnaissance and surveillance radars, and can also be widely used as an air platform for electronic countermeasures and air early warning. It may also carry weapons for ground attacks, just as the US Air Force did in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan. Although this kind of UAV is not as good as the American Global Hawk UAV and has no strategic significance, if it is used in a large number of wars, it can play a considerable role as a reconnaissance satellite and can perform electronic warfare/electronic countermeasures tasks.

On this basis, China can also develop its own future unmanned combat aircraft. Although it is difficult to speculate whether the China People's Liberation Army Air Force is developing an X-45 unmanned combat aircraft similar to that recently announced by Boeing. However, it is worth noting that a virtual reality control system was exhibited at 1998 Zhuhai Air Show, and this technology is often closely related to the advanced unmanned combat aircraft in the future.

Unmanned aerial vehicle is an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled by radio remote control equipment or its own program. It not only has the ability of reconnaissance and jamming, but also has the ability of attack, and has long battery life, strong battlefield survivability and no risk of casualties. Since entering the war stage in 1960s, UAV has played a great role in reconnaissance and early warning, command and control and precision strike, and has become another multiplier of combat effectiveness.

According to Wang Baorong, the captain of the UAV team, UAVs can be divided into short-range, medium-range and long-range UAVs according to flight distance; According to operational performance, it can be divided into tactics, campaigns and strategic drones; According to the purpose, it can be divided into reconnaissance plane, jammer and attack plane Among them, the reconnaissance plane is used to complete the tasks of battlefield reconnaissance and monitoring, positioning and shooting correction, damage assessment and so on. It can also be used to complete civil tasks such as border patrol, nuclear radiation detection, aerial photography, aerial exploration, disaster monitoring, traffic patrol and public security monitoring.
