At the Singapore Airshow, a number of Chinese aircraft led by the "20 Family" were unveiled, one of which surprised military fans, and the unique flying wing design feasted the audience's eyes.
Foreword: Recently, the Singapore Airshow was grandly held. After a lapse of two years, China's aviation industry once again brought a variety of cutting-edge technology aviation foreign trade products to participate.
The exhibited products cover 7 categories, including fighter jets, ** and drones. Walking into the indoor booth, what you see is the "20 family" exhibition area located in the first place, and the three star products of J-20, Y-20 and Z-20 made a stunning appearance. It is worth mentioning that on display with these three aircraft was the Attack-11 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which became a unique member of the "20 family".
Is the appearance of Attack 11 for export? Who can be the first buyer?

1.Attack 11 was unveiled at the air show, and the unique design attracted much attention
Attack-11 is a large stealth drone developed by China in recent years, and its appearance is full of science and technologyThe layout of the tailless wings is cleverly integrated with the wing body, which looks a bit like a mini version of the B-2 bomber. As the world's first officially commissioned stealth drone with a flying wing layout, the strength of the Attack-11 should not be underestimated.
According to public information, the Attack-11 has a range of more than 4,000 kilometers and a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, capable of taking 0Mach 9 high-speed flight. It has a built-in stealth bomb bay on each side, capable of carrying 8 small-diameter precision-guided bombs to carry out precise strikes against enemy targets in depth.
It is worth mentioning that the Attack-11 also plays an important role in the offensive and defensive system of the PLA. First of all, it can be used as an unmanned wingman, and CCTV has previously announced the appearance of the J-20 leading 3 Attack-11s.
Secondly, the Attack-11 can also rely on its own strength to carry out strike missions alone, and with the blessing of stealth performance, it can perfectly complete the mission even in a high-threat environment.
In addition, the Attack-11 can also employ drone swarm tactics. A single Attack-11 can carry 8 bombs, and 10 Attack-11s can carry 80 bombs, and once the stealth effect is used to the extreme, it will lurk around enemy targets and deal devastating blows to them.

Today, Attack-11 has become an important member of the "20 family". In the entire family, the J-20 is responsible for air strikes against the enemy, the Y-20 is responsible for strategic delivery, and the Z-20 plays the role of low-altitude penetration. In this way,The heavy lifting of the fight and coordination falls on Attack-11, and it can also be used as a playerDoor Kickerrole.
2.The performance is so powerful, China is ready for export?
Judging from the live footage released on social **, the full-scale model of the Attack-11 shows very specific details, even the stealth nozzle behind the fuselage is clearly visible, and there is a Chinese reminder to pay attention to safety above the nozzle.
According to foreign media analysis, the appearance of the attack-11 may not be just for exhibition, but to attract potential customers and take the opportunity to export. As we all know, the Singapore Airshow itself is an international airshow event, and this year's airshow covers more than 1,000 international exhibitors from 50 countries around the world.
With the development of the times, the role of drones on the battlefield has been valued by more and more countries, especially the drone wars staged in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which once again let countries see the potential of this kind of **. In the field of UAVs, China is undoubtedly at the forefront of the world, and this time it directly took out the Attack-11, which is not a small attraction for countries that need UAVs.
Moreover, many countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia have bought China**, and there is still trust in China**, so let's wait and see who will be the first buyer of Attack-11 in the future.

On the other hand, the appearance of the Attack-11 at the Singapore Airshow is also a manifestation of the strength of the Chinese industry, since it can be publicly displayed outside, and even has the possibility of exportThat means that the PLA already has more advanced technology in its hands。Attack-11 is no longer too advanced to show.
3.Attack-11 Unique Identity, opening up another possibility
It is worth mentioning that the Attack-11 has also appeared on a full-scale aircraft carrier test platformIt may appear on the Fujian ship in the future。Some analysts say that after the Attack-11 joins the aircraft carrier group, it may make the Chinese Navy the first navy in the world to have a carrier-based stealth unmanned fighter.
According to the EurAsia Times, China is working hard to develop autonomous aircraft technology to enable drones to perform tasks autonomously and minimize human control, and may also be applied to the Fujian ship in the future.
The addition of the Attack-11 will further expand the situational awareness capabilities of China's aircraft carrier fleet at sea。After detecting the enemy's situation, it can provide detailed data to J-15 and other carrier-based fighters directly through the line-of-sight data link, so that the rear can quickly make arrangements according to the on-site situation and better respond to emergencies.
There is also a theory that the future Assault-11 is likely to appear on the Type 075 amphibious landing ship, which will play an important role in military operations.
Now the Attack-11 has become a loyal wingman and carrier-based unmanned fighter, which is no longer a question of impossibility, but a question of when it will be put into service.
It is quite possible that the Attack-11 will be on board the Fujian ship in the future).
The development trend of future warfare will be stealth, unmanned and intelligent, and China's drone technology is developing rapidly, but there is still room for improvement. After all, the United States was the first country in the world to apply stealth technology to UAVs. There are many things that we can't do, but it may not be clear in which directions to break through.
Previously, American UAVs appeared in almost every local war after the Gulf War, accumulating a lot of experience in actual combat, and the American side is very clear about which technologies need to be prioritized and which ones are more critical. Therefore, if China wants to make greater breakthroughs in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, it must continue to work hard to develop in order to have stronger strength to maintain
