The People's Liberation Army of China has introduced advanced swarm drone technology that enables a single soldier to control over 200 drones, including the High Mobility Swarm Weapon System, which can launch 48 fixed-wing drones simultaneously. These drones utilize intelligent algorithms for autonomous operation and enhanced cooperative capabilities, allowing for complex multi-mission tasks such as reconnaissance and strikes. This development follows earlier showcases at air shows and is complemented by China's first drone carrier amphibious assault ship, which began sea trials in late 2025.
