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靶機以殲-5（J-5）為基礎，一種中國仿造的蘇聯米格-17（北約代號：“壁畫”）亞音速戰斗機。靶機駕駛員座艙內原來的飛行員座位移除提供額外的空間用于自動化飛行控制系統。幾百架退役的J-5據信已經被改裝用于空對空和地對空導彈測試。

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空軍據信正在探究使用無人操縱的Ba-5無人機用于對地攻擊任務的可能性。飛機只不過視為一種‘巡航導彈’，飛行到目標區域然后突然沖向一個大的區域目標，像是飛機場或停車場。
