Nearly 16,000 drones formed the largest synchronized display ever recorded. The performance earned dual Guinness World Records for drone coordination achievements. China replaced fireworks’ chemical combustion with digitally programmed light choreography.
Liuyang, often called the “fireworks capital of the world,” has added another milestone to its history.
About two weeks ago, nearly 16,000 drones took to the sky in what is now the largest synchronized drone display ever recorded.
The show involved 15,947 units, each following a programmed flight path to create towers, blossoms, and a glowing “Sky Tree.”..
Coordinating thousands of lithium-powered flying devices requires exact precision, and any software error could turn a record-setting performance into a safety hazard.

Same kind of stunt as their huge military parades.
“It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
Well, put my finger in my mouth and pop my cheek!
An attack by 16,000 assassin drones could be interesting.
They’ll have them on our northern border. Manipulating carny is child’s play for China.
Truly magnificent. Reminds me of the sheep herding light displays.
I don’t think that Russia is an enemy of the United States.
I do think that Communist China is an enemy of the United States.
High IQ people. Unlike the Somalis.
A tune-up for the next war.
Can you name any significant inventions by Chyna?
Steam engine, internal combustion engine, x-rays, radio communication, transistors, airplanes, vaccines, telephones, decimal numbering system using zero, airplanes, electricity,
Computers....all non-chinese creations.
Deepseek.
The only one I can think of is gunpowder.
Fireworks.
