Full profile and archive

GJ-11 is China’s flying-wing combat drone associated with Hongdu. China’s defence ministry reported it as in service at its parade debut. IAI treats that status as a claim. The table identifies dated analytical dimensions; public combat readiness and detailed control specifications remain unverified.^[1][2][3]

Public-source profile. Performance claims are attributed; type links do not verify an incident identification.

Form, sound & identification limits
