Default Spying on China - 02.jpg (1/1) [55K]


The wreckage of three "unmanned high-altitude reconnaissance" aircraft shot
down over the PRC. A total of 17 such aircraft were claimed by the PRC.

I have no date for the picture, nor any ID for the aircraft. It looks like a
Regulus to me but I don't know if these were ever used for reconnaissance
work (or indeed how high they could fly). Sent to test air defences?

Can anyone here help?
