Recently, a mysterious stealth unmanned aerial vehicle spotted near Kandahar in Afghanistan, causing great concern to the military observers. The UAV is a picture quickly spread network, stand out of the Air Force finally admitted that their aircraft, called "RQ-170", in fact, this most suspicious stealth UAV is that: do not need to deal with the Taliban stealth aircraft, the Taliban have little-to-air missile radar and, then, why should the deployment in Afghanistan / test this mysterious stealth UAV? Universal station network and the "Aviation Week" website were this to be resolved, and speculation: The reason why the U.S. Air Force deployed in Afghanistan this UAV, designed to test the leap over China when the stealth performance. Analysis of the Chinese military disclosed the information through the network, suspected U.S. military drone crashed in the news of the border areas of China, not only time consistent with the Chinese military has referred to the weapons deployed, the famous red 9, this hidden Sino-US confrontation undercurrent in the news made public where it would be easy, not when the cover could not shake who will not easily leak out of both negative. The RQ-170 unmanned aerial vehicle crashed nine red flag of China is actually considered of equal skill, the two sides of the collision of Chinese military Fang Xiansheng ace. U.S. Global Strategic Network publication entitled "The Mystery of the UAV was shot captured in Afghanistan," the article, put forward their point of view. The article first said that last April, the second largest city in Afghanistan, the U.S. Air Force base near Kandahar, where the deployment was to recognize there is a unknown model, propelled by a jet engine drone. Today, there are already a picture about the UAVs. Some people speculate that this is an American secret UAV project, which with the French design of the "neurons" (Neuron) UAVs similar to the "neuron" is a 6-ton fighting and jet engine propulsion reconnaissance UAVs, but still in UAV research and development stage, the next two years are not expected to first flight. U.S. media said a few days, the UAV in Afghanistan this mysterious photo has been all over the Internet, the U.S. Air Force finally admitted it was their UAVs, and said it was not equipped with a weapon called "RQ-170 "UAVs, but the Air Force did not further disclose additional information, seemingly trying to keep this as long as possible part of the project secret. The use of UAVs in Kandahar that the flying wing aerodynamic layout, similar to the U.S. Air Force and Navy research and development of X-45 and X-47-type unmanned aerial vehicles, both unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV, UnmannedCombat AerialVehicles) can carry weapons, unmanned aerial vehicles to be exposed this secret may also be an ammunition compartment. U.S. Air Force's X-45A unmanned combat aircraft in 2004, the first experimental launch smart bombs. There are some secret reconnaissance purely as an experimental machine used in jet engine-powered UAV design. In fact, this UAV is the greatest suspicion: the Taliban do not need to deal with stealth aircraft, they do not have radar and on-air missile, then, why should the deployment in Afghanistan / stealth unmanned test this mysterious machine? Global Strategic Network gives two possible explanations. First, may want to test against in the real environment is difficult to find the enemy, the performance of this UAV. The second reason is to test this UAV might leap over China in the stealth performance when (China has a border with Afghanistan border), or a test near the Iran and Afghanistan leap over stealth. The article also said the global strategic networks, such the United States has been flying unmanned aerial vehicles 6 years, similar to the design of the UAVs that have been conducted air refueling, formation flying and landing in a simulated aircraft carrier deck, other items of experiment. In addition, the United States, "Aviation Week" website published December 4-A-Fall David Hamm (David A. Fulghum) articles written, the article is entitled "said U.S. Air Force stealth UAV deployment." The article first said the secret published. U.S. Air Force has confirmed that "Kandahar of the beast" the existence of unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs at the end of 2007 it was found flying in Afghanistan. The use of jet-powered UAV flying wing tailless aerodynamic layout, the upper surface of the wing on each side has a streamlined sensor module, which is RQ-170 "sentinel" (Sentinel), by the John Locke Lockheed - Martin Corporation, a subsidiary of the famous "skunk" (Skunk) plant research and development. The article mentioned that a U.S. Air Force officer in the afternoon of December 4, "Aviation Week" said that they "are developing a stealthy unmanned aircraft system for the forward deployment of combat troops to provide reconnaissance and surveillance support." U.S. Air Force said in a statement, RQ-170 UAV deployment and Defense Secretary Robert - Gates on "to increase combat commander intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) support" requirement is consistent also with the military chief of staff Norton - Schwartz (NortonSchwartz) on "increasing U.S. Air Force (USAF) reliance on unmanned aircraft" point of view consistent. The article said that when the RQ-170 stealth UAV project is confidential state, which consists of Nevada, "Tonopah Proving Ground" (Tonopah TestRange, also known as Area 52) and 30 reconnaissance squadron flight, there is the F-117 Stealth fighter-bombers "home." RQ-170 was attributed to the Army Air Combat Command (AirCombat Command), deployed to the Nevada Creech Air Force Base (Creech Air ForceBase). In Kandahar, Afghanistan, RQ-170 to be seen from the U.S. company General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (General Atomics AeronauticalSystems) belongs to fly out of the hangar. RQ-170 stealth UAV and F-117 named some similar, its name prefix (RQ) Yes, but behind the figures (170) to some disorder, which some people in order to avoid a (secret) speculate whether the presence of the project. Technically, "RQ" in the name indicates this is a non-armed UAVs, not like "MQ" in the prefix, MQ named for the prefix type armed MQ-1 "Predator" and the MQ -9 "death." U.S. Air Force related to the expression statement "as the front-line fighters deployed to support", with the moderate UAV Stealth (passive edge design, simple and wings on the nozzle and the sensor module), which suggest that RQ-170 "sentinel" is a tactical deployment platform for front-line combat, rather than a strategic intelligence gathering (aircraft) design. "Aviation Week," the article also this mysterious drone surviving several questions. If it is a high-altitude aircraft, it is not the usual color of the coating, but the body is a medium shade of gray, similar to the "Predator" and "death" rather than dark gray or all black - this coating installed in the high altitude is to provide the best concealment. From the appearance point of view, the aircraft's wingspan of about 65 feet (19.81 meters), and the MQ-9 "Death" UAV similar. This mysterious drone on only a few pictures can be used as a basis to judge, these photos are taken from the left, it gives the impression that: a relatively deep center of stout body and the external opportunities for integration into together. In view of the low observability of the design of the UAV will be used to leap in his country's borders, peep China, India, Pakistan, to obtain valuable on missile tests and telemetry intelligence data. In addition to the mysterious drones, the U.S. military has also found that the next generation of UAVs, it is Lockheed Martin's MQ-X program.

Red Flag 9 SAM system battalion as the basic combat unit, armed with a search radar vehicle, a tracking, guidance radar vehicle, a command and control vehicles and six four-mounted missile launchers, and other support vehicles. Search radar, a large car using the passive phased array radar, with the S-300 surface-search radar, similar to, mainly for daily alert, command and control vehicle to provide comprehensive and accurate air situation, and guide the operational units when the block objectives. Red Flag 9 SAM system tracking, guidance radar vehicle also used a large passive phased array radar, in appearance, closer to the radar, "Patriot" air defense missile tracking, guidance radar, different is the enemy identification antenna array at the top of the radar antenna, the instruction to send the antenna is relatively small. Four-mounted missile launchers are still similar with the S-300 surface to air missiles, equipped with four missiles from the vertical storage rack, launch tube, the same projection using the missile launch tube after the ignition of the cold launch method. Red Flag 9 air defense missile system, the vehicle has a significant feature in common is the use of the domestic launch vehicles, 88 heavy-duty off-road chassis Taian, the other is the use of domestic vehicles off-road chassis 66, which is rapidly differentiate from the appearance of the remote Red 9 SAM points. SAM is a red flag 9 9 air defense missile system, the core, using the non-wing, the layout of a small tail, consistent with the Patriot missile. As the domestic solid rocket motors, electronic equipment, technical limitations, the red flag is still 9 and S-300 missile is almost as thick, and the more compact "Patriot" missile, the gap significantly. However, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of red flags 9 Surface to Air Missile, the missile uses a "middle of instruction + INS + active radar terminal guidance," the guided mode. Compared with the last paragraph of the TVM guidance, without strong active interference for the missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and other targets will have higher hit probability, and in the rumors, the red flag 9 shooting live ammunition, they did several direct hits the target aircraft.
