The Ba-5 target drone was based on the J-5, a Chinese copy of the Soviet MiG-17 (NATO codename: Fresco) subsonic fighter. The target drone has the original pilot seat in the cockpit removed to provide additional space for the automated flight control system. Several hundred retired J-5s are believed to have been converted air-to-air and surface-to-air missile testing.
Ba-5靶机以歼-5（J-5）为基础，一种中国仿造的苏联米格-17（北约代号：“壁画”）亚音速战斗机。靶机驾驶员座舱内原来的飞行员座位移除提供额外的空间用于自动化飞行控制系统。几百架退役的J-5据信已经被改装用于空对空和地对空导弹测试。
Additionally, the PLA Air Force is believed to be exploring the possibility of using the unmanned Ba-5 drone for ground attack role. The aircraft simply serves as a ‘cruise missile’ by flying to the target zone and then plunge into a large area target such as airport or depot.
另外，PLA空军据信正在探究使用无人操纵的Ba-5无人机用于对地攻击任务的可能性。飞机只不过视为一种‘巡航导弹’，飞行到目标区域然后突然冲向一个大的区域目标，像是飞机场或停车场。
