These days, any tech news coming out of China is impressive. Although the United States has banned the entry of the Nvidia H200, the Asian country has shown that you can make your own chips.
However, the issue of components is not the only concern that the nation led by Donald Trump should have. Yeah the swarm of 200 Swarm II autonomous drones have been impressive next to the military of Russia and Ukraine, the new functions are shocking.
The precision, stability and speed of these unmanned aerial vehicles have always been a challenge for engineers, but finally Chinese researchers found the answer.
At a distant distance, they managed to make a drone shoot a target with 100% accuracythat is, it has not failed in any of the impacts. have you played ARC Raiders? If this technology continues to advance along this path, the future could be just as terrifying.
China achieves new milestone in drone weapon precision
The swarm of drones with artificial intelligence and firearms appear to be the target of the armed forces of world powers.
During the war in Russia and Ukraine, models of various categories have been reported, which has shown that these aerial devices can be adapted to various situations and fulfill missions without putting the lives of so many soldiers at risk.
However, they still have several general limitations, at least up to this point. According to the media South China Morning Postthe Asian country has once again reached an impressive milestone in the technology industry.
Previously, we have seen the operation of the incredible Swarm I and II autonomous drones that follow orders and adapt to tasks on their own. Now, imagine that these have firearms capable of intercept the target with high effectiveness.
2026 is just beginning and Chinese researchers have achieved these impressive results. The team of Wuhan Guide Infrared and the Army Special Operations Academy share their recent project: a drone with an assault rifle.
The device integrates said conventional weapon with a special optical sensor and advanced software that focuses on compensating the key factors of the shooting actionsuch as wind, distance and recoil.
Engineer Jiang Huajian explains that this has been done with a rigid assembly that allows “mechanical misalignment to be reduced.” In controlled tests, the drone’s assault rifle achieves 100% accuracy at 100 meters away.
There were 20 shots in the “headshot” simulation, half of them located 10.92 cm from the center. According to what they say, it is 60% better than the conventional theoretical success rate in these teams.
However, they also showed that there are errors if this distance is shortened or if the target is very close. Apparently, it is due to a problem with the manufacturing of the ammunition, since one of the goals has been that there is no need to implement personalized weapons.
In turn, the system only shoots “shot by shot” because using burst or automatic functions would only affect efficiency and accuracy. Likewise, it must be remembered that these unmanned aerial vehicles can attach to swarms, becoming truly lethal.
