Small suggestion: Maybe not put SS on your weapons platform?

Oh no no it's deliberate, this was just a test run. The next step is to paint it black and red and cover it in totenkopfs. It will be virtually undetectable by the west.

It's interesting to see how quickly China is able to learn from the conflict in Ukraine and develop new weapons platforms based on that in under three years. Nothing comparable is possible in US.

China has a huge advantage in its manufacturing capacity, we are already seeing the devastating impacts of these tiny drones, $400 drones can take out multi million dollar armoured vehicles. China can manufacture these drones at such fast pace, they can easily overwhelm the opponent. We've already seen their skills at drone swarms with their various displays, just imagine 100s of drones raining down on an enemy. More reason never to join the army!

Exactly, this is a huge game changer and using mothership platforms like this extends the range of these weapons by a huge margin. China is also actively applying AI to drone tech as well meaning that it won't be possible to jam them either.

They light up as massive charecter formation like some giant magician spell as they pumel their target.

Imagining how sick it would be if every drone in the swarm also had an Aztec death whistle molded into it's body so it screams when it dives

they say that "Jiu Tian" means "high sky" but I can't find what character the jiu is supposed to be, and none of the dictionary entries I can find for jiu have the meaning they say. anybody know which jiu it is?

it looks like the actual name in Chinese is Nine Heavens (九天) likely a reference to 九天玄女 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiutian_Xuann%C3%BC
