China Unveils Mosquito-Sized Microdrone for Covert Surveillance
- China's National University of Defense Technology unveiled a mosquito-sized military drone designed for covert battlefield surveillance during a state TV broadcast in 2025.
- This development reflects a global race as other countries like the U.S. and Norway also pursue micro-UAV technologies for military and civilian uses.
- The drone mimics insect flight with flapping wings, has ultra-thin legs for stable landing and perching, and fits between two fingers, weighing less than 0.2 grams.
- Liang Hexiang stated that small bio-inspired robots such as this drone are ideal for conducting intelligence gathering and specialized operations in combat zones, although experts point out that their size restricts the amount of equipment they can carry and limits their battery duration.
- This microdrone signals advancing military capabilities focused on covert intelligence gathering, though limitations suggest it complements rather than replaces larger systems.

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. …
