China reveals 200-strong AI drone swarm that can be controlled by a single soldier — ‘intelligent algorithm’ allows individual units to cooperate autonomously even after losing communication with operator

China's People's Liberation Army showcased a drone swarm system where a single soldier can control 200 drones. These drones, equipped with an intelligent algorithm, can communicate autonomously and continue operations even without operator contact. The system, demonstrated on state TV, is capable of conducting multi-target reconnaissance and strike operations. China's military has been advancing its drone technology, with the latest version, Swarm II, having improved speed, endurance, and payload capabilities. Other countries like the US, Russia, and Ukraine are also developing drone systems and countermeasures to address this emerging technology.
