SCMP: New Chinese spy drone ‘will make combat scenes in the movies a reality’, state media claims 

Chinese state television has highlighted a new armed spy drone, with one report saying it will be able to work with other unmanned aircraft to carry out reconnaissance and strike operations. 

The WJ-700 - which completed its first flight in January - is seen as a key part of the Chinese military's ambitious "unmanned combat system", though analysts say technical challenges remain. 

Its use as an unmanned war drone - operating either on its own or as part of an "integrated unit" with other drones - was featured in a report on state broadcaster CCTV's military channel on Monday.

China is already ahead of USA in every field: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Shoe Laces, Under Pants and more. We have to bow and send them the best of us: Sleepy Joe, Kamala Hatistocrat, all our Highly Intellectual left wing. It would be delicious to make them defeated by their victory.
