China is preparing to launch a new drone-carrying mothership <www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/05/15/china-dominates-the-drone-industry-the-west-needs-to-change/> capable of releasing 100 kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the same time.
The Jiu Tan, which means “high sky”, is a high-altitude long-range UAV that can transport weapons and equipment.
Over the weekend, state media reported that the fourth prototype had completed its structural assembly and was undergoing installation and testing. It will set off on its maiden flight next month as China <www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/19/china-moved-satellites-help-pakistan-shoot-down-indian-jets/> looks to boost its air force capabilities.
The Jiu Tan was developed by Shaanxi Unmanned Equipment Technology and was first unveiled at the Zhuhai air show, the largest in the country, in November.
The vehicle has a 25-metre wingspan and can fly for 12 hours, with a maximum range of 7,000 kilometres (4,350 miles). It has a take-off weight of 16 tons and a transporting capacity of six tons, which could be used to carry anything from surveillance technology to ammunition.
