The communist government called an aircraft “Jiu Tian”which means “high sky”, as British “Telegraph” reports.
State media reports that the fourth prototype has been completed and is currently in Installation and tests phase. The first flight is scheduled for June. According to Chinese information, the drone-wing ship has wings with a span of 25 mi can fly up to 12 hours, reaching a maximum range of 7,000. km.
The machine has a load capacity of 6 Ti maximum starting weight of 16 t. In addition, it can be armed with both supervision technology and ammunition as well as rockets.
Ukraine and Taiwan are two countries that carefully observe the introduction of new technology. The reason is that Beijing provides Moscow, a whole series of drones and parts. From China to Russia, the fiberglass unmanned fiberglasses are sent especially for the forces of Kiev, which then go to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The Russian army is already using drone swarms to overload defense systems over Ukrainian cities. If in the future China provides Russia with their new ship, the air defense of the Kiev force may have serious problems with 100 kamikaze drones sent simultaneously.
Asian tensions
But this is also a problem for the second end of the world. The military from Taiwan also closely observes a new ship.
According to his own statements, Beijing is still planning again joining this island state – If necessary also by force. To this end, the Chinese army has already developed innovative landing ships, and the ship-spas for drones could provide its forces support from air.
China regularly test Taiwan's patience. According to South China Morning Post, May 20, the Chinese People's Liberation Army practiced sea landing.
The 73rd group of continental China was involved in the exercises, stationed in Siamen in the province of Fujian, 30 km from the island of Kinmen in the western part of the Taiwan Strait. This island is under the control of the Taiwan authorities. Military units practiced tactics and maneuvering skills in the coastal zone as well as landing operations using floating armored transporters.

On Wednesday, the Taiwan Ministry of Defense announced 15 flights of the Chinese People's Army aircraft, as well as eight military ships and one civil ship near the island.
Drone power
Western analysts have been warning for some time that drone producers around the world and their clients are largely dependent on the good will of the communist party of China.
According to a study conducted by Industry Insights China currently controls 90 percent The global commercial drone market. One Chinese company, DJI, has 80 percent this market.
China also has a dominant position in terms of important components -Some of them produce almost exclusively-including flight engines and control systems, lithium-ion batteries, sensors, cameras, propellers and frames.
In this way, Beijing played a key role in supporting the Kremlin's war machine. On the other hand, despite the statements of Vladimir Putin about the “unprecedented” level of partnership with Beijing and “unlimited” cooperation opportunities, Chinese investors significantly reduced investments in Russia in connection with the war in Ukraine. If in the years 2011-2018 China invested in Russian projects on average $ 1.2 billion. annually (PLN 4.5 billion), in the years 2022-2023 this indicator dropped three times: up to $ 400 million. (PLN 1.4 billion) – according to the report of the Institute of Developing Final Bank (Bofit).
