The Jiutian The Chinese Mother Ship Drone That Can Launch 100 Attacks A large unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) named “jiutian” successfully completed its maiden flight on december 11, 2025, the aviation industry corporation of china (avic) announced. China’s jiutian heavy unmanned aircraft completed its first operational mission over shaanxi province, introducing what analysts describe as the world’s largest aerial drone carrier.
Video China S New Jiutian Drone Can Launch 100 Kamikaze Drones Up To China’s jiutian ss uav aerial mothership completes maiden flight, signaling a major breakthrough in high altitude uav, swarm warfare, and isr capabilities across the asia pacific region. China is preparing to test jiu tian, a massive unmanned aerial mothership capable of releasing over 100 drones in coordinated swarm attacks. with stealth capabilities, high altitude endurance and modular strike payloads, the system may redefine drone warfare. The jiutian inaugurates the mother ship drone: a modular cargo hold for dropping mini drones, creating tactical noise, and wearing down defenses. the jiutian (also known as jetank) is not a male “shooter” drone. A concept behind china’s new gigantic drone mothership called jiu tian (“ninth heaven”), could be capable of releasing as many as 100 small kamikaze drones.
China S Jiutian Ss Uav Drone Mothership With 7 000 Km Range And 100 The jiutian inaugurates the mother ship drone: a modular cargo hold for dropping mini drones, creating tactical noise, and wearing down defenses. the jiutian (also known as jetank) is not a male “shooter” drone. A concept behind china’s new gigantic drone mothership called jiu tian (“ninth heaven”), could be capable of releasing as many as 100 small kamikaze drones. China’s heavyweight jet powered jiutian drone, said to have a maximum takeoff weight of around 17.6 tons (16 metric tons), has flown. a key mission for the design is expected to be acting as a mothership for swarms of smaller uncrewed aerial systems, as twz has explored in the past. The long awaited ‘jiutian’ or ‘jetank’, as it is known by the chinese state media, has finally taken its maiden flight. dubbed the world’s first “drone mothership,” the jiutian completed its first flight on december 11, 2025, in northwest china’s shaanxi province. First unveiled in december 2024 as a mothership, china has now flown the large jiutian (‘nine heavens’ or simply ‘high sky’) drone, emphasizing the aircraft’s civil applications. Whereas traditional uavs operate alone or in pairs, the jiutian is designed as an airborne command and launch hub, able to dispatch drone swarms into layered enemy defences while remaining at high altitude and far from risk.
