China has unveiled a next-generation aerial war platform: a giant drone mothership capable of launching over 100 drones during a single mission. Named "Jiu Tian," this flying command center can travel 4,500 miles (7,000 km) and reach altitudes of 15,000 meters—high enough to evade most air defenses. It weighs 16 tons at takeoff and can carry up to 6 tons of weapons and UAVs, acting as a mobile base for swarm attacks, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare.
What makes Jiu Tian truly terrifying is its ability to coordinate drone swarms mid-air. State media footage shows dozens of kamikaze and loitering drones deploying from both sides of the aircraft in synchronized waves. These drones can communicate, share targets, and strike in unison, overwhelming enemy defenses in seconds. With modular interiors, the mothership can also support rescue missions and supply drops, cementing its role as a versatile force multiplier in modern warfare.
