US EditionChina Unveils Mosquito-Sized Microdrone for Covert Surveillance
CHINA, JUN 27 – The National University of Defense Technology's mosquito-sized drone supports covert surveillance and swarm tactics, with experts noting its silent operation and suitability for indoor intelligence gathering.
- China's National University of Defense Technology unveiled a mosquito-sized microdrone designed for covert battlefield surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
- This development reflects a global trend as multiple nations, including the U.S. and Norway, pursue micro-UAV technology for military and civilian use.
- The microdrone, measuring about 2 centimeters long and weighing less than 0.2 grams, uses insect-like flight mechanics with flapping wings and hair-thin legs to enable stealth and perching.
- NUDT student Liang Hexiang told CCTV on June 14 that such micro-robots are well suited for information reconnaissance and special battlefield missions but also pose risks of misuse as autonomy increases.
- Despite its advanced design, experts note the microdrone's limited range, payload, and battery life likely constrain its wartime impact, though it signals ongoing advances in micro-robotics and surveillance technology.

China has invented a mosquito-sized spy drone, and now I can’t wait for Trump to come up with a flyswatter. If a Democrat were in the White House, they’d probably be considering introducing a mandate to wear full-body-sized masks to protect against spy mosquitoes. But I know Trump wouldn’t do that. Trump would rather blast Chinese flies with a cannon than further erode individual freedoms. And so would I. I feel overwhelmed by new technologies. …
