CH1NA UNVEILS MANTA RAY-STYLE UNDERWATER DR0NES IN MAJOR TECH LEAP ![]()
China has revealed a new class of underwater drones designed to move like Manta rays, using soft flapping wings instead of propellers. These bio-inspired machines can glide silently through the ocean, blend with marine life, and operate in coordinated swarms — making them extremely difficult to detect with traditional surveillance systems.
Reports suggest these drones can stay submerged for long durations, communicate autonomously, and carry out deep-sea reconnaissance and mapping missions. Their design reflects a broader shift toward Autonomous systems, where machines can coordinate and act with minimal human input in complex environments.
Supporters say this is part of the global race in defense innovation, arguing that nations are rapidly developing advanced technologies to secure coastlines and trade routes. They believe such systems enhance strategic capabilities and reflect the evolving nature of modern security challenges.
