    This video was taken by a hidden camera .

    There has been model of this UAV shown a few month ago.
    But the size of the prototype is smaller than the Global Hawk. Maybe PLAAF dont want to reconnoiter on a global scale.

    And someone said in Chinese military affairs forums, Its just a beeliminated design project.PLAAF had had one more advanced .

    It's not secret to Chinese military fans at all, but maybe to some western experts it is .

    And it's not the only one China is developing.

    Looks like they looked at a Global Hawk and tried to copy it.

    Copy+modification saves a lot of time. If the PLA manages to 'digest' the techonology involved, it can develop its own top designs.
