China aims to pair J-20 stealth fighter with 'loyal wingman' battle drone
China may be aiming to match the USA's efforts to operate pilotless aircraft alongside crewed fighter jets, by creating a so-called “loyal wingman” drone to fly with the nation's J-20 supersonic stealth fighter., Beijing is developing a cutting-edge combat drone called the FH-97A to complement the J-20, aka the “Mighty Dragon”.
Loyal wingman aircraft accompany crewed combat aircraft and help protect the human pilot and their craft from attack. The drones can also fly ahead of a crewed aircraft to attack targets without putting human pilots at risk. Such drones typically require advanced semi-autonomous capabilities, operating under the overall direction of the crewed aircraft.
