PLA Drills 07122012 (1000-1100)



This time, I was prepared.
OK, it's still a cheap old camera, but 5x zoom is better than no zoom.

Objects of Interest:
What's up with the rescue operations and flares?
Who are the people watching from the ferries?
Who are the people in the speedboats?
The aircraft overhead has not been sighted or mentioned before. It was circling before the drills began. What is it doing here? Why is it completely unmarked? It's too small to be a BA Jetstream-41 and clearly appears to be a drone. It also has a camera/sensor hump on the underbelly.

As a side note,

it's probably only a matter of time before we see Chinese copies of predator/global hawk type drones around here.

Silly question, but are there any Hong Kong Government observers in the operation?

Also, was it a military drill or rescue operation drill?

Otherwise, thanks for taking the photos! Don't usually see military craft over here either.
