MAYBE YOU’VE HEARD OF THE “BIRDS AREN’T REAL” CONSPIRACY.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN THANK CHINA FOR ADDING A LITTLE MORE FUEL TO THAT FIRE. [TAKE VO]

AN ELITE CHINESE SPECIAL FORCES UNIT SHOWED OFF A NEW DRONE DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A BIRD IN FLIGHT. 

THE FLAPPING FIEND FIRST APPEARED DURING A SHOOTING COMPETITION THAT SOME CHINESE SPECIAL FORCES WERE PARTICIPATING IN.THE UNIT, SIMILAR TO U-S NAVY SEALS, HAD A COMMANDO DISPLAY THE NEW TECH IN DRAMATIC FASHION– EMERGING FROM UNDERWATER.

IT’S TOO SMALL FOR ANY PAYLOAD.

BUT THAT’S NOT REALLY THE POINT WITH DRONES SO SMALL – COVERT RECONNAISSANCE IS.

THE BIOMIMETIC DRONE IS MEANT TO RESEMBLE A EURASIAN TREE SPARROW– …CHINA SAYS IT CAN FLY WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED BY ENEMY RADAR.

THE IDEA IS ALSO BEING TOYED WITH IN THE U-S.

ALTHOUGH THE “ZOMBIE BIRD DRONE.” IS INTENDED MORE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES. 

I REPORTED ON IT BEFORE SCIENTISTS ARE USING SYNTHETIC BODY PARTS FUSED WITH REAL PHEASANT HEADS AND FEATHERS…

TO CREATE ROBO-BIRDS.

WHILE THE RESEARCHERS SAID THE ZOMBIE PHEASANT WAS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT UP TO BETTER OBSERVE NATURE–THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR IT TO BE USED BY THE MILITARY.

A SIMILAR PROGRAM WAS PROPOSED DURING THE COLD WAR…WHEN THE C-I-A PITCHED THE IDEA OF NUCLEAR-POWERED DRONES DISGUISED AS BIRDS TO SPY ON THE RUSSIANS.

THE IDEA NEVER TOOK OFF.

BUT BIOMIMETIC DRONES ARE JUST TAKING TO THE SKIES. – ANOTHER CHINESE COMPANY ALSO UNVEILED A ROBO-FISH– FOR POTENTIAL UNDERWATER SURVEILLANCE IN 2021.

FROM BIRD DRONES TO OTHER WEAPONS AND WARFARE– WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
