China Military Studying Ukraine Lessons for New Drone Weapon Strategy
A top scientist at Norinco says the China military is studying Ukraine lessons to improve its drone weapon systems and micro-bomb technology.
Cheap drones are rewriting the rules of modern warfare on the front lines. China's top weapons experts aren't just watching from the sidelines; they're actively studying Ukraine's tactical playbook to sharpen their own edge.
China Military Studying Ukraine Lessons: Adapting Micro-Aerial Bombs
According to Reuters, Cai Yi, chief scientist at China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco), stated in a recent interview that Ukraine's use of drones to launch modified small and micro aerial bombs provides a "valuable example" for observing the evolution of drone warfare.
He suggested that China should draw direct inspiration from these battlefield experiences. Cai emphasized the importance of developing small drone-borne munitions that can offer high precision at a fraction of the cost of traditional missiles.
The Shift Toward Asymmetrical Capabilities
The conflict has shown that even sophisticated defense systems struggle against swarms of low-cost, agile drones. By analyzing how Ukraine modifies commercial and military tech for lethal use, Norinco aims to accelerate the modernization of the People's Liberation Army's drone arsenal.
