The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has been developing new combat tactics and methods of operation for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including remote take-offs and landings at locations far from home base airfields and potential manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T).

中国人民解放军空军（PLAAF）一直在为无人机开发新的作战战术和作战方法，包括在远离本土基地机场的地方进行远程起飞和降落，以及潜在的载人-无人组合（MUM-T）。

 

According to a report by the state-owned broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV), on 12 August a PLAAF UAV unit in the Western Theater Command (WTC) has been conducting these trials using Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) Wing Loong II (Gongji-2 or GJ-2) multirole medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAVs.

据中国中央电视台报道，8月12日，中国人民解放军西部战区司令部 (WTC)的一支无人机部队使用中国航空工业集团公司翼龙 II型（攻击-2或GJ-2）多用途中高空长航时无人机进行了这些试验。

 

The Wing Loong IIs were used in a recent exercise in the “deserts of northwest China” to conduct “reconnaissance and strike training in a realistic combat scenario”, CCTV said.

中央电视台称，最近在“中国西北沙漠”举行的一次演习中，翼龙II被用来进行“在现实的战斗场景中进行侦察和打击训练”。

 

During the exercise, the UAV operators were tasked with operating the Wing Loong IIs at long ranges using mobile ground control stations (GCSs), according to CCTV. Imagery of the three-vehicle GCS showed the employment of a satellite communications (satcom) antenna.

据中央电视台报道，在演习期间，无人机操作员的任务是使用移动地面控制站（GCS）远程操作翼龙II型无人机。三部车载地面控制站（GCS）图像显示使用了卫星通信天线。
