The EW variant of the TB-001 UAV has more sophisticated electronics from the outside. May play a similar role as WZ-10 (SIGINT-OECM, Larger frame to contain more complex devices). There appears to be an omni-directional surface/ground-search radar under the nose. https://newtalk.tw/news/view/2024-07-08/927180 https://twitter.com/jointstaffpa/status/1853000458417377501/photo/2
