Five New Chinese Stealth Drones Made their Public Debut at the Beijing Victory Day Parade

China publically unveiled five new stealth drones at their Victory Day Parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025. This military parade celebrated the 80th anniversary of China's victory over Japan in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Anti-Fascist War (1937-1945). These new drones appear to be China's equivalent to the American Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) loyal wingman type stealth drones. None of these new Chinese CCA's have known official designations nor do we know which company built each one.

 

Leading the group in the parade was the Hongdu GJ-11 Sharp Sword UCAV. The GJ-11 is the best know of the group and is a flying wing stealth attack drone. It was followed by the CASIC WJ-700, China's equivalent of the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper. In the second row on the left side of the parade route is a drone that apears to have a similar shape to the Kratos XQ-58 Vakyrie. On its right, is a drone with a tailess flat cranked arrow wing and twin angled vertical tails. In the third row were the stars of the parade. Two new fighter-type CCA's. On the left side of the parade route is a fighter-sized tailess stealth drone, bearing serial number 53636,  with a lambda wing planform similar to the Shenyang J-50 6th generation stealth fighter and having air intakes  sililar to the Shenyang J-35. This drone has been unofficially referred to in avaition circles as "Type A". On it's right, the second  fighter-type CCA drone, bearing serial number  53536, has a modified delta wing reminiscent of the Chengdu J-36 6th generation stealth fighter and with Diverterless Supersonic Engine Inlets (DSEI) air intakes, simliar to those on the Chengdu J-20 Mighty Dragon.  This drone also has what appears to be an Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) mounted under its chin. This drone has been unofficially referred to in aviation cirlcs as "Type B". Both the Type A and Type B have single engines with 3D trust vectoring nozzles that have serrated edges. Both also appear to be similar in size to the Chengdu J-10 Vigorous Dragon fighter. Chinese Interent enthusists claim that all five of these new stealth drones are operational.
