China’s unmanned reconnaissance and strike helicopter tailored for deployment in plateau areas is ready for critical combat testing.
The new multipurpose medium-sized helicopter was displayed on November 27 at an air show in Zhuhai, in southern China, where the next stage of testing was announced by its developer.
The Moyujian was exhibited at the second Asia General Aviation Exhibition (Aero Asia), held from November 27 to 30.
Aero Asia, jointly organised by the German General Aviation Exhibition and Airshow China, was held for the first time in 2023. The event, which takes place every two years, is China’s only general aviation exhibition held with a foreign partner, and the most recent edition featured 174 Chinese and foreign aircraft.

The unmanned helicopter was shown in its camouflage livery on a static display. The display also featured a video of the aircraft’s first successful live-fire target test at high altitude, which its developers said marked progress in its reliability for plateau operations.
