China says it has developed a new hunter drone that can disable other drones -- or even small aircraft -- by firing a 172 square feet web at them.
"Caught by the web, the hostile drone should lose power and fall to ground," said a report on the Chinese military's English-language website.Developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, the drone can work alone but also can integrate with China's defense system for small, slow and low-flying targets, according to the report.The hexacopter drone can also perform surveillance and reconnaissance, it said.
Designed for target practice, the LJ-I can be flown in formations to simulate actual combat conditions, according to the report on the state-sponsored Global Times.A video played at the airshow showed a Chinese bomber releasing several of the LJ-I drones, which then simulated an attack on a PLA Navy destroyer.
