China will launch Jiu Tian drone mothership

China is preparing to launch a new drone mothership, the Jiu Tian, capable of deploying 100 kamikaze drones simultaneously. This development aims to significantly enhance China's air force capabilities. The Jiu Tian, with a 25-meter wingspan, can fly for 12 hours and has a range of 7,000 kilometers. It can carry up to six tons of equipment, including surveillance technology and weapons, and is designed to operate at high altitudes. The new drone is seen as a potential competitor to US aircraft and could be used for intelligence gathering and in potential conflicts, such as those involving Taiwan. The Jiu Tian's development follows China's previous drone tests and expansions of its aerial capabilities.
