China new "Rainbow" series UAV / 彩虹系列无人机

"Rainbow -3″ no attack aircraft by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation 11 Research Institute, a 3-point landing gear and propeller engines, can be linked to two AR-1 anti-tank missiles. Reportedly, the "Rainbow -3″ already exported to some Asian countries. In another development, China is also ready to launch this year's Zhuhai Air Show, the new "Rainbow" series of unmanned attack aircraft, may be the speculation of the "Rainbow -4."

First of all the control truck can be used for other types of UAV's, it would be expensive and illogical to develop a control truck specifically to one UAV type. Glosnass is a Russian system, China has Compass system that is working only over China, at this moment. Google Yilong UCAV video you should get a video of another Chinese UCAV hitting a target with smart weapons.

That supposed UCAV was pretty funny. It didn't hit anything nor are any of its GLONASS guided bombs actually usable. The tracking algorithms and thermal imagers were pretty bad. Oh, and that control truck had a sat uplink but none of those drones had domes big enough to house Ku-band links. That is why there is a big bulge in the Predator and Heron UAVs, it is for sat uplink. Nice propaganda by China as usual. I am still waiting years to see that GPS guided bomb kit work.
