China unveiled its new WZ-8 high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance drone at the National Day parade held in Beijing on October 1.

The drone, also called as DR-8, is likely air-launched from a bomber, like the new H-6N, or transport aircraft, and is likely able to fly at a high-supersonic speed and have stealth capabilities.

According to Chinese experts, the new drone can provide more reliable reconnaissance data than satellites.
