China is preparing to test its next-generation unmanned aerial system, the Jiutian SS-UAV, a massive high-altitude “mothership” designed to deploy swarms of attack drones and precision-guided missiles.
This unmanned behemoth could redefine aerial warfare, blending long-range reconnaissance with strike capabilities in a single platform.
The Jiutian SS-UAV boasts staggering performance metrics:
* Range: 7,000–7,500 km (comparable to strategic bombers)
* Service ceiling: 15 km (bypassing most air defenses)
* Payload capacity: Two launch modules housing hundreds of FPV kamikaze drones (25–35 km range)
* Heavy ordnance: Anti-ship missiles, stealth cruise missiles, and aero-ballistic weapons
* Air-to-air self-defense: PL-12E/PL-15 missiles to engage enemy fighters
* AI coordination: Autonomous swarm control for mass drone attacks
Reportedly weighing 15 tons with a 25-meter wingspan, the Jiutian matches the Global Hawk’s size but adds a devastating offensive punch, making it a dual-role recon-strike platform.
