The Chinese defense industry has developed the world's largest drone carrier, the Jiu Tian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is being prepared for deployment as early as June 2025. This unique "mothership" is capable of transporting and launching up to 100 smaller drones, including kamikaze drones operating as part of a swarm.
The Jiu Tian weighs about 11 tons and can carry an additional load of 100 drones with a total weight of about 6.6 tons. At the same time, the flight range of this system reaches an impressive 4,350 miles (approximately 7,000 kilometers), which allows it to be used to perform a wide range of tasks over long distances.
This combination of payload and range makes the Jiu Tian a revolutionary platform for conducting autonomous combat operations using a swarm of drones. The ability to simultaneously launch a large number of UAVs significantly increases the effectiveness of reconnaissance, attacks and suppression of the enemy.
The development of Jiu Tian reflects China's desire for technological superiority in the field of unmanned systems and autonomous combat platforms, which strengthens its position on the world stage and changes the balance of power in modern conflicts.
It is expected that the deployment of this drone carrier will be an important milestone in the development of the Chinese armed forces and will open up new opportunities for conducting high-tech operations in the air.
