While reports have identified the Jiutian as a “general-purpose drone,” concepts have shown it releasing drone swarms with a range of surface and maritime strike munitions....Notably, the drone has a 6 ton payload capacity for either munitions, drone swarms and humanitarian relief material.
A concept video on CCTV 14 from May 2025 shows a group of Jiutians releasing swarms of hundreds of smart quadcopter-like systems and other winged attack drones. These were then shown coordinating and overwhelming the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carriers and supporting battleships, clearing the way for anti-ship ballistic, cruise and surface strike missiles.
Footage in the same clip also showed the ability to carry a range of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, two of which could be identified as the PL-12AE and the PL-15. Clips from the exhibition showing military payload have existed since November 2024.
The same operational concept could, at least theoretically, be utilized for land warfare. The drone swarms undertaking anti-infantry roles – validated on the Ukrainian front with both sides using cheap UAVs for hunting individual soldiers, fortified bunkers, machine gun nests and even counter-drone missions – can mutually support other air-to-ground weapons launched from the Jiutian on large tactical targets.

That is a lie. They are NOT the same. That is why I request that you cite both posts which will show the difference.
Yes I do think that it is a delusion that China drones supplied to Russia are a threat to the UnitedStates.
IDJITS think otherwise.
whatever, dou, er, dude.
“whatever, dou, er, dude.”
Yep. So much for your defending your lie.

As opposed Russia,
ALL Chinese nationals ( students in US universites ), all Chinese businessmen, resident aliens, visitors etc. are by law spies for Communist China.
Communist China has and is carrying out many numerous military and intel probing ops against the US..
Communist China has and is exploring biowar against non Sino West.
Russia is not doing these things..
Threat Environment
The 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community, published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, highlights “Russia’s advanced cyber capabilities, its repeated success compromising sensitive targets for intelligence collection, and its past attempts to pre-position access on U.S. critical infrastructure.” These factors establish Russia as a persistent malicious cyber and critical infrastructure threat.
According to the assessment, “Moscow’s unique strength is the practical experience it has gained integrating cyber attacks and operations with wartime military action, almost certainly amplifying its potential to focus combined impact on U.S. targets in time of conflict.”
Russia uses a wide range of tactics, including “anti-U.S. diplomacy, coercive energy tactics, disinformation, espionage, influence operations, military intimidation, cyberattacks, and gray zone tools.” These methods allow Russia to advance its interests aggressively while operating below the threshold of armed conflict.

AI Overview
Recent investigations and indictments, particularly from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in September 2024, have highlighted a sophisticated, covert operation where Russian state media employees funneled millions of dollars to American, mostly right-wing, influencers to create content that aligns with Russian foreign policy interests. These efforts are part of a broader strategy, which includes the use of “doppelganger” websites and AI-generated content, to influence the U.S. election and public opinion.
Allegations and Key Findings (2024)
Tenet Media Operation: The US DOJ accused two Russian state media employees (RT) of funnelling nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based company, identified as Tenet Media.
Influencer Involvement: Content creators including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, and Matt Christiansen were involved.
Content Focus: The content, which often reached millions of followers, focused on Western political and cultural issues, while pushing themes that criticized US foreign policy, Joe Biden, and Ukraine.
“Duped” Claims: Several of the influencers claimed they were victims of an elaborate scheme and were unaware they were being paid by Russia, although the indictment noted that one influencer’s contract included a $400,000 monthly fee, a $100,000 signing bonus, and additional performance bonuses.
Tactics: The operation involved using “cybersquatted” domains to mimic legitimate news sites (like the Washington Post) to publish Russian propaganda.
Russian “War Bloggers” (Z-Bloggers)
Within Russia, “war bloggers” (also known as Z-bloggers) have become influential, particularly regarding the invasion of Ukraine.
Popularity & Reach: These bloggers, such as Semyon Pegov (WarGonzo) and Alexander Kots, have massive followings on Telegram.
Monetization & Influence: They generate revenue from advertising, and some have been incorporated into official Russian structures, with President Putin inviting them to the Kremlin.
Propaganda Role: They often spread extreme pro-war propaganda, sometimes calling for the destruction of Ukraine, and are used to promote narratives favorable to the Kremlin and the Wagner Group.
Other Russian State-Sponsored Efforts
“Web Brigades”: These are organized teams of commentators and trolls, sometimes called “Kremlin bots” or “OLGintsy,” that work to promote pro-Putin, anti-diversity, and imperialist narratives in forums.
Shift in Tactics: The use of, and payment to, Western influencers is a more recent, high-impact tactic compared to traditional “troll farms” and is designed to leverage the trust these influencers have already built with their audiences.
Monetization Ban: Google has halted monetization for Russian YouTube bloggers, impacting their ability to earn revenue through ads.
Impact and Scope
Despite the use of these paid networks, some studies have suggested that these campaigns may not always have a direct, measurable impact on changing voter behavior, though they are effective at deepening political polarization. The 2024 DOJ indictment suggests that these efforts are ongoing and increasing in sophistication.

‘k ,
I give up zeep ..
China's Article 7 is indeed does not mean all are spies, though required to assist if called upon, which should thus be dealt with, but if you think Russia, which as with China if not as intensely, tracks, censors and controls its citizens, cannot not also compel citizens to spy is simply naivety.
Of course Russia is doing these things, as able, but which means it cannot approach the scale of China since In 2025, Russia's GDP is projected to be approximately $2.54 trillion, while China's GDP is significantly larger at around $18.7 trillion. This places Russia as the 11th largest economy globally, compared to China's ranking as the 2nd largest.

Both countries work to control citizens like the Left wishes it could, and see the US as the opposition to their quest for dominance. Welcome to the real world. Nothing new. Read the Bible.
re; China Article 7 Would you prefer if I called them agents rather than spies since they can be called upon ?
Russian activities are what most nations normally do regarding former or potential opponents, and even ‘friends’.
The difference is in scale and intensity, which in this case is orders of magnitude.
In my opinion London, Paris and Brussels are at least as great a danger to the UnitedStates given their rabid efforts to get us into a hot war with Russia..
Seriously, due its lust for power control, including over its own citizen Russia under Putin, then took over many countries, and thus the US has been fighting proxy wars for 70+ years, after aiding wicked Stalin, and enabling him to get to Berlin first. Shortened WW2 for sure, but it has cost the US greatly. And will, with its alliance with militant Islamist, communists, and a emperor/god.
just doing "what most nations normally do regarding former or potential opponents.. You want to defend the valdinvader, then he is all your.
In my opinion London, Paris and Brussels are at least as great a danger to the UnitedStates given their rabid efforts to get us into a hot war with Russia.
!? You think Russia would not intimidate and make inroads further West, and become even more militant against the US if it were so costly due to it due to NATO? Dream on. Putin dreams of the old Soviet "glory" and seek some it regardless of how many young men die for his dream.
As for London, Paris and Brussels, it is their embrace of Wokeism and Islam hat is the indirect threat to the US, as it is here, and the threat of Russia has yet wake them out of their slumber.
You are stuck in vestigel Cold War thinking
Good luck with that neocon loser, Ruzzia is kicking your A
” You think Russia would not intimidate and make further roads West ?...”
No, only fkn idiots like you think so.
I had no issue with it, but explained my corollary to it.
You are the one stuck without a valid argument.
