The CH‑10 is a Chinese tilt‑rotor UAV developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC). Classified as a VTOL‑ISR tactical platform (Class II), it can launch and land vertically on naval vessels or in mountainous terrain, eliminating the need for runways. With a 5‑hour endurance, a top speed of 320 km/h, a 200‑km operational radius and a 48 kg payload capacity, the CH‑10 supports both reconnaissance and combat missions. It can conduct battlefield surveillance, target detection, communications relay, search‑and‑identification, and precision‑strike guidance, and is capable of carrying weapons. Operated by the People’s Republic of China, the drone is intended to augment ship‑borne and ground forces with persistent, high‑speed intelligence and strike capabilities.
