What is this aircraft?

Spotted near former RAF Cottesmore yesterday evening. Looks like a drone sounds like a jet. The twin vertical tails are somewhat unusual!

That's what I thought. Was definitely jet powered though and a Google search has yielded nothing so far.

Not very stealthy is it

Maybe the manufacturer of this aerial target is doing a jet version now?



Aerial Solutions - Aerial Target Drone

Otherwise, my money is on the local model club having a member with an own design model, either gas turbine powered or with one of the relatively new twelve blade electric ducted fans, which do sound very jet-like.
