China has showcased a cutting-edge bird-like drone during a military shooting event commemorating the anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The biomimetic drone, disguised as a small bird, was demonstrated by the elite Jiaolong Commandos, a special operations force comparable to the U.S. Navy SEALs.
The event, organized by the PLA Infantry Academy, featured advanced firearms and specialized shooting activities. The Jiaolong Commandos, known for their air, land, sea, and underwater capabilities, highlighted the drone’s potential for covert reconnaissance.
During the demonstration, a frogman from the unit launched the bird-like drone after emerging from the water. Resembling an Eurasian tree sparrow, the drone flapped its wings realistically as it flew, capturing attention for its stealth design.
Military experts classify this drone as a miniature biomimetic ornithopter designed for surveillance and precision missions. Although these drones have limited endurance and range compared to conventional drones, their ability to blend into the environment makes them invaluable for covert operations.
