🇨🇳 CHINA’S FIRST DRONE MOTHERSHIP SET TO FLY —... AND IT’S MASSIVE China’s Jiutian SS-UAV, unveiled at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow, is slated for its maiden flight in June 2025. Designed to cruise at 15,000m, this high-altitude beast can carry a 1,000kg payload—potentially dozens of smaller drones or precision-guided munitions. Dubbed an “aerial carrier,” it’s a command hub for drone swarms, enhancing China’s surveillance and strike capabilities. This is presence warfare: cheaper than carriers, harder to detect, perfect for gray-zone ops. Beijing calls it a defensive asset for regional stability. Western analysts? They’re calculating its reach across the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea. Source: The Asia Live / The EurAsian Timesshow more
