China on Wednesday revealed a drone concept similar in mission - and appearance - to the U.S.-made Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie as countries race to invest in "loyal wingman" drones to help protect pricier crewed fighter jets.
The long-range FH-97 drone concept unveiled can carry different types of weapons, and has swarm and electronic warfare capabilities.
