A new drone shaped like a bird. Chinese developers have shown a new drone made in the shape of a bird.

Such an invention can turn the drone industry upside down.

The drone is able to fly with the help of wing flapping like a real bird and looks the same.

    These would have fantastical scouting capabilities. Pretty alright at being undercover as long as the target isnt looking for them. You could easily storm a few places unexpectedly with a little bit of explosives and these. This is that shit the Wizard and the evil chick were drooling over in Wicked.

        I would assume the visuals are key here. You can’t normally hear birds flapping anyway. These just look like birds until its too late.

      It’s the perfect weapon to spy on other countries for them because any bird would stick out like a sour thumb in China so it can’t be used against them. Meanwhile in other countries it wouldn’t even be looked at.
