China has shown off a new military drone that carries two grenade launchers.
The weapon appeared during a recent combat exercise in southern China, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The rotary-wing aircraft is also capable of firing guided munitions and conducting various missions, including tactical reconnaissance and midair interceptions, it is reported.

cool.
Ours can hit targets with Hellfire! and be operated from a continent away.
Of course, if it’s got digital electronics and is teleoperated, it can be hacked and/or spoofed, just like ours have been.
So? We have drones that can take out tanks.
Several years ago I saw a video of military testing of a swarm of drones, hundreds of them in formation and then they take different paths to hit an enemy. China, with a single drone is a joke.
And considering China’s infrastructure how well will they perform?

No video? Then I won't believe it. The U.S.A. military has been testing drone swarms for years before China, and is way ahead of China.
This is a video about U.S.A. military testing of micro-drones in 2014. Note at 1:38 into the video, a micro-drone identical to a mosquito in looks and size that can inject a deadly poison into troops. Something that can also possibly inject SARS-COV-2/Covid-19?

It is a reasonable way to drop hand grenades on enemy trenches remotely .... Had it for a while, called mortars.
Now, it is a GOOD IDEA. Cheap way of accurately dropping hand grenades. So, you come up with defenses (they can carry cameras too!) but you HAVE TO deploy those jammers. Can’t just speculate about how easy it is to make them. Jammers also can kill your own drones, and can be a target for counter drone hand grenades homing in on the jamming signal.
But that it is easy to jam, to counter-jam, doesn’t mean the original weapon is no good. Just not perfect.
There are guys on YouTube that make the same things with off the shelf parts.
We’re supposed to feel bad that Reapers fire Hellfires
Does anyone seriously doubt that we’ve got stuff up our sleave that will be absolutely mortifying? The Russians were stunned after Desert Storm.
Those are smoke rockets. Used by FACS.
