China’s new drone will hunt stealth aircraft

Divine-Eagle

Jeffrey Lin and Peter W. Singer have the scoop over at Eastern Arsenal on the Divine Eagle. From the article:

As a High Altitude, Long Endurance (HALE) UAV, the Divine Eagle would prove incredibly useful in both offensive and defensive operations. Its long range anti-stealth capabilities can be used against both aircraft, like the B-2 bomber, and warships such as the DDG-1000 destroyer.

Flying high, the Divine Eagle could also detect anti-ship missile trucks and air defenses on land, in preparation for offensive Chinese action.
