China’ s ‘ Monster Drone’ TB-001 Twin-Tailed Scorpion Combat UAV Spotted In ‘ Heavy Bomber, Missile Truck’ Mode!
China’s "Monster UAV" TB-001 double-tailed scorpion combat UAV appeared in the mode of "heavy bomber and missile truck"!
China’ s Tengoen TB-001 drone was photographed recently carrying a full load of air-to-ground munitions of missiles and bombs, indicating the force-multiplier effect the Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) can have on the battlefield.
The TB-001 is a Medium Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) drone with three engines, first unveiled in September 2017 and has been in service with the People’ s Liberation Army (PLA) since 2021.
The recently photographed China Tenglong TB-001 UAV is full of missiles and bombs and air-to-surface ammunition, which shows the force multiplication effect of UAV on the battlefield.
TB-001 is a medium-altitude long endurance (MALE) UAV with three engines. It made its debut in September 2017 and has served in the China People’s Liberation Army since 2021.
China presently has the most extensive and diverse range of drone systems, both stealth, non-stealth, jet-powered and propeller-driven, in the world. The country is preparing fervently for a Taiwan conflict with a possible face-off with the United States (US) military.
The photo of the drone was shared over multiple social media and Twitter accounts, which showed the drone carrying twelve AGM ordnance – five each on each wing and two air-to-surface missiles on launcher racks on the underside.

India will win. Please convey this progress to our government, Ministry of National Defense, Army and National Security Agency. We should also create a powerful and efficient world-class drone. India will win!

Software technology matters a lot across aircraft types. The American aircraft has more sophisticated software as well as hardware components and is ba ttle tested. I think considering our need at the present time, American drone MQ-9 should be purchased.
Software technology is very important for different types of fighters. American fighters have more complex software and hardware components and have been tested in actual combat. I think the MQ-9 UAV from the United States should be purchased in view of the current needs.

From Ukraine russia war I have observed one thing that Drone is an important part of future warfare…. We must work on drone technology …..

Not a single Chinese drone (combat or otherwise) has proven its worth in combat. Having said that, we should assume the worst and prepare accordingly.
No Chinese drone (combat or other) has proved its value in the battle. Having said that, we should prepare for the worst and make corresponding preparations.

Never undermist enemy, we must have clear realistic understanding of enemy. Chinese weapons are very good on paper. JF 17 is best example of Chinese weapon quality. Few year s ago some countries return Chinese drones because they are useless. If this drone is actually very dangerous then we must take it seriously.
Never underestimate the enemy, but have a sober and realistic understanding of the enemy. China’s weapons are excellent on paper. Xiaolong is the best example of China’s weapon quality. A few years ago, some countries returned Chinese drones because they were useless. If this drone is really dangerous, then we must take it seriously.

I believe that the Drone manufacturing division should be hived off from HAL and converted into a seprate company, It would bring in the private Setor manufacturers in a large way, use DRDO technology as well as other technologies and use a separate methodology to manufcture drones.
I think the UAV manufacturing department should be spun off from Hindustan Airlines and transformed into an independent company, introducing private manufacturers on a large scale and using DRDO technology and other technologies to independently manufacture UAVs.

Respected sir….. TRUTH is very Hard to accept but…upto 2014….1) make in India 2) startup 3) Toilet -need (where is powerful chakra in human body)—etc.
The truth is hard to accept. In 2014, 1) Made in India, 2) Entrepreneurship, 3) Toilets, etc. Where are they?

Our Rustom should also be armed similar to this drone as it can also take 250kg. New missiles &bombs should be developed specific to drones which is light weight.
Our army should also be equipped with weapons similar to this drone, which can also carry 250 kilograms. New missiles and bombs should be specially developed for drones.

Appreciated work by China. We should come with better counter drones.
China, well done! We should be equipped with better drones to deal with it.

This drone looks like a show pony, the engines on the side will interfere with the sensors. I would assume the sensors are ineffective therefore the plethora of glide bombs.

Till your products are stealthy, you are in upper hands. It will depend upon RCS and speed of drones. If is detected in our Radar, it is a sitting duck. TB 2 was successful in Armenia because of weak air defence. Same is failed in Ukraine war. Anyway J 20 is detected by SU 30.
Unless your product is invisible, you can get the upper hand. This will depend on the radar cross section and the speed of the drone. If it is detected by our radar, it is a living target. The success of TB-2 in Armenia is due to weak air defense. In the battlefield of Ukraine, no one has lost. In short, the J -20 will be detected by the Su -30.

This is what Mr. Rahul Gandhi was hinting when he said China is getting ready for war but our our govt instead of accepting it ( just like Alok sir did ) is blaming him for discouraging our army. Thanks sir for telling us the actual situation. ( as I was a little confused with the current scenario betwe en the two parties pitching against each other) Truth helps us to deal with the situations than false hopes.
This is what Rahul Gandhi said. He said that China was preparing for the war, but our government didn’t agree with him. Instead, it accused them of attacking our army. Thank you, sir, for telling us the actual situation. (Because I’m a little confused about the current opposition between the two parties) True hope can help us cope with this situation more than false hope.

India can make very small one missle carrier ,but many in numbers like 100… So it means 100 bombs, will be stealth.

American weapons like fighter aircraft , drones comes with lot of conditions. If we purchase American drone then we are dependent on American and America is not trust worthy partner. Only trust worthy partner of India is India itself.
There are many conditions for buying American weapons such as fighter planes and drones. If we buy American drones, we will rely on the United States, and the United States is not a trustworthy partner. India’s only trustworthy partner is India itself.

Anyone asking if it’s war tested – China cannot war Rest everything China make looks attractive
Has it passed the test of war? Everything made in China looks attractive, but it has never been on the battlefield.
