The first appeared!Another new type of PLA drone "around the stage"

Taiwan's "Ministry of National Defense" announced on the 11th that four PLA drones have been monitored recently -and the KVD001 drone, which was out of the northern airspace of Taiwan that day, still appeared near Taiwan for the first time.

Taiwan's "Lianhe Daily" said on the 11th that as of 17:00 on the day, it was discovered that 8 military planes and 5 warships of the PLAs continued to move around the sea and airspace around Taiwan. Among them, there are 5 secondary PLA military planes, including "Passing and Entering the Central Line and its extension lines into the Southwest Airspace", including 1 KVD-001 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, 2 J-11 fighters, 1 Yun-8 technical reconnaissance machine, BZK-007 none Personal reconnaissance aircraft 1.

The old driver noticed that in Taiwan's notification, the multi -type drone dispatched by the PLA was particularly conspicuous. On the 5th, the "Ministry of Defense" for the first time announced the "disturbance of the platform" of the PLA drone, and then a drone "Passing in the northern section of the midline of the Middle Line of the Strait" on the 8th, and a drone on the 9th entered the "Southwest Airspace" in Taiwan. Essence Taiwan media said on the 10th, "In just five days, the drone of the other side disturb Taiwan, the model includes BZK-005, BZK-007 and TB-001"

The Lianhe Daily stated that the KVD001 drone discovered on the 11th was the first time in Taiwan. It is reported that it uses a car ejection method to take off, with a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour, a maximum combat radius of 200 kilometers, and a maximum battery life of 10 hours. It can be used as a long -range communication, battlefield reconnaissance surveillance, and target illuminating guidance.

However, the old driver believes that unlike other large and medium -sized inspections of the PLA near Taiwan, the KVD001 drone to go near Taiwan may have other meanings.

According to public information, the KVD001 drone adopts a routine layout of straight wings and double -tailed supports, which can maintain a longer flight time, but there is no weapon mounting capacity. It once appeared in the Tianjin Direct Expo in 2019, and appeared on the same stage as the Zhi-20, Wu Zhi-10, "Long Bow" Wuzhi-19 and Zhi-8G, participating in the static display on the ground. The official exhibition board shows that the machine has the functions of remote communication, battlefield reconnaissance surveillance, target irradiation guidance, etc., which can extend the communication link of land and air communication command to provide command communications for the land and air formation in command to effectively improve Remote command capabilities of land airlines.

Last year, CCTV's military report also introduced the collaborative combat exercise of the KVD001 drone and helicopter. It is reported that a certain land navigation brigade of the 80th Army dispatched multiple helicopters to collaborate with the drone, completed the fast reconnaissance and precise firepower blows of key targets, and achieved a fast withdrawal. Among them, the drone was launched, and he took the lead to the battlefield, reconciled, tracking, and monitoring of suspicious goals at a kilometer high altitude, and passed the data to the Tower command group in real time. After receiving the instruction, multiple helicopters were lifted off in turn, and the target quickly locked the target under the accurate guidance of the drone to perform analog attack.

Whether it is the public introduction of the Tianjin Direct Expo or the actual combat drills mentioned by CCTV military reports, the KVD001 drone is cooperating with the land navigation forces to fight, acting as helicopters and providing relay guidance. Therefore, it seems that the KVD001 drone that appears alone in Taiwan is actually cooperating with the PLA's Army Airlines Army? As for why the Taiwan Army did not mention the latter, it is likely that the Taiwan Army did not find the PLA helicopter who had not found ultra -low -altitude flight.
