“This super tiny drone, put together by a team from China’s National Defense University of Science and Technology, is akin to something out of a spy movie. The team, based in Hunan Province, China, recently shared a [new drone](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3315206/chinese-military-robotics-lab-creates-mosquito-sized-microdrone-covert-operations) they have developed, which is small enough to fit between your fingers. It’s as small as a mosquito, and it looks like one, too.
This pesky little spy device first buzzed on our radar shortly after its debut on CCTV state TV channel CCTV 7. This was picked up by the *South China Morning Post*, which highlighted Liang Hexiang, a student, showing off the tiny drone by holding it in between his fingers. This tiny mosquito-sized drone was designed specifically to help with information reconnaissance, essentially making it a spy drone.”
This is being posted in many sub repeatedly, for the past several days. Mods wakeup!
How long could its range possibly be, 10 meters? If that?
Mosquito’s aren’t real… Oh brother only a matter of time
Wonder if they’ll still be attracted to bug zappers.
Kinda reminds me of the dragonfly the USA built back in the 70s, complete with a little teeny gas engine:
