According to the Japanese surveillance supervisor, they found one of our WZ7 large unmanned reconnaissance planes. Crossing the Miyako Waterway between the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Just to everyone's surprise, it has already been shot in high definition, which is the standard of our military aircraft. Kong Zi, the royal photographer, was uncharacteristic this time. It's just a telephoto lens, a long list of blurred images. It is understood that the cycle from morning to afternoon is 5 years 1.
A reconnaissance UAV of our army, namely WZ7, flew to Japan from the East China Sea. After that, it passes through the position between Okinawa's main island and Miyakojima. Then I arrived in the Pacific Ocean, after flying over the South Pacific of the former island islands for some time. Before the U-turn, I passed through Okinawa Island again, between Miyakojima and Okinawa. Finally confirmed to return to our territorial waters.
In this regard, the Japanese side was very nervous, and their air self-defense force, the fighter plane of Southwest Airlines, immediately took off urgently. It is worth mentioning that in terms of measures to violate airspace.
This is the first time they have confirmed that this type of reconnaissance drone is a WZ7 large unmanned reconnaissance plane. Judging from this press release issued by the Japanese Joint Staff. We can see some information from it. First of all, the first appearance of WZ7 means that it was after W27 was deployed to Tibet, Hainan Island and Northeast China.
The first deployment is in East China, and the deployment in this direction is towards the Korean Peninsula and Japan, as well as the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Followed by the Japanese fighter plane, it immediately took off in an emergency. This means that Japanese radar actually found WZ7. However, our plane is not a radar stealth drone.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be discovered by Japanese radar. Finally, there is a royal photographer, and one of the photos released is a photo taken from an upward angle. Obviously much higher than the height of the camera.
You should know that the Japanese Air Force is equipped with F2 and F 15, F 16 and F35 fighters. According to some speculations, the emergency takeoff may be Japan's F2.
It is reported that the F2 fighter is made in Japan, but its appearance is similar to that of F 16. It is only one circle larger than F 16, and the fuselage length is15.52m.. The wingspan can reach 10.8 meters, and the empty weight is 9.53 tons.
The maximum takeoff weight is 22. 1 ton, and the maximum speed is Mach 2.0. In addition, the ceiling is 1.8 million meters, and the operational radius is 833 kilometers.
If the ceiling is 1.8 million meters, the F2 fighter can only shoot backwards. So what is the height of our WZ7? It is reported that the height of WZ7 has reached 20,000 meters.
However, the data published on the Internet shows that the ceiling is only 1.8 million meters. In this case, it is estimated that everyone will understand. It must be published online. These data are too conservative. Because according to the upper limit of F2, the height of WZ7 must be far more than 1.8 million meters. And according to conservative estimates, it will exceed 20 thousand meters.
Moreover, according to the aerodynamic layout of WZ7, some people speculate that its maximum ceiling should be above 22,000m. In this way, even if Japanese fighters think again, they are out of reach.
