Hypersonic drones can reportedly be used against American F-22 and F-35 stealth aircraft. China possesses the GJ-1 and GJ-2 armed reconnaissance drones which it had reportedly deployed along the Line of Actual Control(LAC).
The GJ-1 and GJ-2 drones are part of China's Wing Loong I and Wing Loong II systems capable of striking targets with the capability to launch small air-to-ground missiles.
GJ-2 is reportedly a remotely controlled drone used for surveillance including striking enemy targets. China has been ramping up its drone programme for several years and has even exportedthem. The country's Rainbow military drones were eyed by several countries including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other nations.
China's drone technology still is no match for the US Predator drone with sophisticated hunter-killer capability and deadly Hellfire missiles. However, PLARF'srecent innovation in drone technology may tilt the balance in China's favour.
The Chinese defence force had earlier unveiled the road-mobile DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile and JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile at Beijing's Tiananmen Square showcasing the country's nuclear deterrence capability.
