Watch out for mosquitoes!

China has just unveiled a new “mosquito drone” created for covert military operations.

The drone, which is the size and shape of a mosquito, contains cameras, microphones, and electronic signals.

The National University of Defense Technology engineered the new drone and released a video of it in action.

Mosquito recon drone for the PLA.

Our military can leverage China’s advanced consumer electronics sector, to rapidly prototype and test new ideas efficiently.

When a solution to a problem is found, then rapid mass production.

Per The New York Post:

China unveiled a mosquito-sized drone designed for covert military operations and espionage — a development that’s raising alarms over the potential consequence of the tech falling into the wrong hands.

The miniature device, featuring two leaf-like wings, a black vertical body, and three hair-thin legs, was engineered to mimic the blood-sucking insect by scientists at the National University of Defense Technology in China’s Hunan province.

“Here in my hand is a mosquito-like type of robot,” said Liang Hexiang, an NUDT student who was holding the tiny drone between his fingers in a video shared by state media last weekend.

“Miniature bionic robots like this one are especially suited to information reconnaissance and special missions on the battlefield.”

The nano-winged drone is equipped with ultra -miniature cameras and microphones to capture images, sounds, and electronic signals — with its tiny size rendering it nearly invisible to the naked eye and capable of flying past conventional radar system undetected.

Another case of stolen technology. The CIA Museum had a robot dragonfly from 40 years ago.

I think capturing one, taping it to the chair in a gay porn theater is a more effective deterrence for the controller.

I think I can honestly say that nothing I’ve ever seen on GP has ‘scared’ me.

We have micro motherships the size of a grain of rice, each having a 200 drone capacity. No doubt several of our ships are sitting on the window ledges of the China Ministry of State Security in Beijing.

That's what we used to have here in the US.

Until we gave it all away to China.

To the geniuses at The Times: it's already IN the wrong hands! This can be used for assassinations. It will be as impossible to stop as it is to track.

Disadvantages of mosquito drones include:

*Sensitivity to wind and environmental factors due to their small size.
*Limited battery life, restricting flight duration and range.
*Challenges in establishing reliable communication links.
*Potential for misuse, such as delivering deadly payloads without a trace.

If you have not seen it, it's very worth watching for where this is going. This YouTube video is from seven years ago: Slaughterbots
