中國自主研製的大型察打一體無人機「九天」，預計將於今年6月底進行首飛。該機具備重載、模組化、多用途特性，被譽為「空中無人機航母」，可搭載上百枚飛彈或微型無人機，展現蜂群作戰新概念。
China’s Jiutian, a heavy combat-reconnaissance UAV, is expected to conduct its maiden flight by late June. Nicknamed the “drone carrier,” it can reportedly deploy over 100 missiles or microdrones, embodying next-gen swarm warfare.

「九天」於2023年首次亮相中國航展，引發廣泛關注。據央視軍事報導，該無人機具備25米翼展、16噸最大起飛重量，最多可載運6噸彈藥與設備，任務艙與掛載模組可快速更換，應對多樣作戰需求。
First unveiled at Airshow China 2023, the Jiutian UAV features a 25-meter wingspan, 16-ton takeoff weight, and 6-ton payload capacity. It supports rapid module swaps for varied missions like strike support, electronic warfare, and transport.

該機採用渦扇發動機推進，最高飛行速度達700公里／時，飛行高度上限1.5萬米。軍事專家指出，其最大航程可達7,000公里，航時超過12小時，為解放軍遠距精準打擊提供新選項。
Powered by a turbofan engine, the Jiutian reaches speeds of 700 km/h and altitudes up to 15,000 meters. With a 7,000 km range and 12+ hour endurance, it offers strategic long-range capabilities for the PLA.

機體設計採開放式架構，任務艙可於2小時內完成快速更換，具備強大的任務靈活性與戰場適應能力。外掛點可配置1000公斤級導引炸彈、空空與空地飛彈、巡弋與反艦飛彈等武器。
Its open-architecture design allows modular payload swaps within two hours. The eight hardpoints can carry 1,000-kg guided bombs, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, cruise weapons, and anti-ship systems.

「九天」的關鍵特徵是其神秘的「異構蜂巢任務艙」，可內藏百枚彈頭或小型無人機，達成蜂群打擊、飽和突防等作戰效果，堪稱共軍無人機發展的顛峰之作。
A standout feature is the “heterogeneous beehive bay,” a central weapons compartment capable of launching drone swarms or dozens of cruise missiles—positioning Jiutian as the pinnacle of PLA drone architecture.

若搭配電子戰吊艙與紅外干擾系統，該無人機將具備對敵雷達壓制與制導武器干擾能力，增強突防與存活率，對現代防空體系形成壓力。
Outfitted with EW pods and infrared countermeasures, Jiutian could jam enemy radar and misguide incoming missiles, significantly improving survivability and stressing modern air defense systems.
