WJ-700 (838f37b6-4ecb-51d3-b737-a206a0eef96f)
The WJ‑700 is a high‑speed, jet‑powered UAV developed by China’s Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation (CASIC) for long‑range strike and intelligence‑surveillance‑reconnaissance (ISR) missions. With an 18‑m wingspan, a 3.8‑ton maximum take‑off weight and an 800‑kg payload capacity, it can loiter for up to 20 hours at 600 km/h (up to 26 hours at 400 km/h) and reach altitudes of 12‑15 km. Its low‑observable design places the intake on the upper fuselage and a V‑shaped tail. The platform can carry up to six external stores, including light anti‑ship missiles (C‑701, C‑705), anti‑radar SM‑102 missiles, short‑range SM‑502KG air‑to‑surface missiles, and 50‑/100‑kg precision bombs. Operated by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force, the WJ‑700 is positioned as a strategic, long‑range strike asset capable of delivering conventional munitions against maritime, land‑target and radar objectives, with emerging export interest such as Algeria.
