Why are people calling this deadly drone of china a cheap copy?
China has recently released the first pictures of its modern CH-7 stealth drone. It is also known as Rainbow-7. It has been developed by the china Aerospace Science and technology Corporation. This drone is designed for reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and precision strikes. However, since its pictures have surfaced, it is being compared to America's B-21 Raider stealth bomber. Many experts have considered its design to be a copy of the American B-21, due to which china has once again been accused of stealing American technology.
The CH-7 drone is designed to fly for a long time at high altitude. It has a single turbofan engine, which enables it to fly at a maximum speed of 926 km per hour. Its wingspan is 22 meters. It can fly up to a height of 13,000 meters. It has a flight range of 15 hours and 2000 kilometers, making it suitable for long-range missions. Its sleek flying wing design helps it avoid radar detection, which is important for stealth operations.
CH-7's power against the enemy
The CH-7 drone can infiltrate enemy air defenses and monitor their activities due to its stealth design. It has the ability to evade radar and reduce heat signature, making it capable of deploying standoff weapons in enemy defense areas. This drone provides the Chinese military with an important tool for accurate surveillance and attack, especially in areas where enemy air defenses are strong.
Allegations of possible theft of American technology
Since the pictures of the CH-7 have surfaced, it has been compared to the US B-21 Raider. The B-21 is a long-range stealth bomber, and the design of the CH-7 closely resembles it. china has previously been accused of copying US defence technology, such as the J-20 stealth fighter, which is said to be a replica of the US F-22 and F-35. Similarly, China's Y-20 transport aircraft also appears to be inspired by the US C-17.
