Now the UAV, a new weapon, has become a favorite of all countries. In some small-scale wars, the UAV also has a very good performance. As a weapon containing high-tech, it has advantages and characteristics different from manned fighter, which makes modern war have some new changes.

China is also a big UAV country in the world. The R & D speed of all kinds of UAVs is relatively fast, and there are many different models. Before that, China was keenly aware that UAV can play a significant role in the battlefield in the future, so it has been promoting the research in this field, and now it has achieved great results.

The UAV we are going to talk about today belongs to the hollow long endurance UAV. Because it can carry all kinds of missiles, it can strike and bomb enemy targets. On the other hand, the flight time of rainbow 5 is also very long. How long is it? It can only be said that it is extremely powerful! Rainbow 5 is loaded with a new domestic engine, which provides it with new power. It can stay on the ground for 120 hours and can carry out global bombing.

One day is 24 hours, 120 hours is 5 days, which means that rainbow 5 can continue to fly for 5 days after start-up, and it will never fall down because of lack of power, fuel exhaustion and other problems. According to official data, the range of rainbow 5 has also been raised to 10000 kilometers, which can hit targets farther away.

So what kind of engine can make rainbow 5 have such amazing endurance? In the past, rainbow 5 actually used aviation gasoline piston engine, which is a relatively conventional engine. Later, in order to improve its endurance, it was replaced with domestic heavy oil engine.

The special feature of heavy oil engine is that it burns diesel. Diesel is different from gasoline. Under the premise of the same volume, diesel can provide more energy, so it is more fuel-efficient. Moreover, the diesel oil is not easy to volatilize and has stable properties. Thanks to this, rainbow 5 can stay and fly in the air for a long time.

The terrible thing about rainbow 5 is that it not only flies for a long time, but also carries a lot of missiles. Rainbow 5 has a total of 6 pylons, which can be equipped with 16 missiles. The compatibility of the pylons is very strong, and different types of missiles can be selected according to the actual needs. We can draw a conclusion that rainbow 5 has the capability of global bombing based on the comprehensive range, flight time and missile load.

Unlike the UAV, the life safety of the pilot needs to be considered. Because it is remote control, even if the UAV crashes, our personnel will not be injured. Therefore, rainbow 5 can replace the manned fighter to go to more dangerous places for investigation, complete more dangerous combat tasks, and effectively reduce casualties.

Rainbow 5 UAV has entered the mass production stage now. It is not only used and equipped in China, but also sold abroad, and has been favored and welcomed by many countries. Although it is positioned to detect UAVs, it is not a problem to use as a small drone because of its excellent Strike ability.

Now UAVs are involved in more and more fields. Rainbow series, like Dongfeng series, has developed into a large family. Besides rainbow 5, rainbow 801 ultra-short range UAV and rainbow 805 stealth target. We believe that rainbow family will have a more bright performance in the future.
