The world's only, the "Jiutian" first flight shocks the globe!\nThe world's first heavy unmanned bomber, China's "Jiutian" successfully made its maiden flight. This is not just another "airshow appearance", but a truly combat-ready platform that has taken off. How powerful is "Jiutian"? Why has foreign media exclaimed, "The rules of war have changed"? What does its emergence mean for China?\nFirst, let's look at the hardcore parameters; only by speaking with numbers can we see its terrifying aspects. Wingspan of 25 meters, maximum takeoff weight of 16 tons, payload of 6 tons, equivalent to the weight of a main battle tank sent to an altitude of 10,000 meters; range of 7,000 kilometers, flight time exceeding 12 hours, able to cover all key areas beyond the first island chain from the Chinese coast; flight altitude of 15,000 meters, speed exceeding 700 kilometers per hour, far surpassing the interception envelope of most air defense missiles, with extremely strong survivability.\nThese already make the American MQ-9 "Reaper" pale in comparison, but what truly makes "Jiutian" legendary is its "secret weapon" inside, the heterogeneous hive mission module. It can carry hundreds of small drones, covering various models including reconnaissance, strike, and electronic interference. Once released, it instantly forms a "swarm saturation attack"; even the most advanced opponent's air defense systems face the dilemma of "unending strikes, unable to defend".\nIn comparison, traditional drones fire a missile and return to base to rearm; whereas "Jiutian" flies over the battlefield and releases 200 small drones in one go, some for reconnaissance, some for interference, and some for direct "suicidal collisions", forming a saturation strike that the enemy's air defense system cannot respond to in time. What is called a "swarm tactic"? It is not "one against one", but "one against a hundred", not "precision strikes", but "intelligent flooding".\nWhat is this, if not a drone? This is clearly a "mobile aerial arsenal, command center, and mothership" in one! China has truly taken the lead this time. And what does the emergence of "Jiutian" mean for China?\nFirst, in terms of technology, China has entered a "one-of-a-kind" field of "unmanned bombers". In the past, long-range bombing was the patent of the US and Russia. China has long been constrained in long-range strike capabilities due to a lack of strategic bombers. However, with a payload of 6 tons and a range of 7,000 kilometers, although it does not match the B-2, it far exceeds all currently active drones, filling the gap in China's "long-range unmanned precision strike" capabilities. It can even be deployed on aircraft carriers, making a future airstrike on Hawaii not a mere fantasy.\nSecond, in terms of tactics, it completely overturns the traditional perception that "air defense equals safety". In the past, countries relied on air defense missiles to "guard their homes", but facing the combination of "Jiutian + swarm", even the most advanced THAAD and Patriot systems become ineffective. Ten "Jiutian" release 2,000 drones, saturating the attack within 30 minutes, leaving the air defense system with no reaction time at all. This is no longer "asymmetric warfare", but "dimensionality reduction strikes".\nThird, strategically, it reshapes the logic of "war thresholds" and "force projection". Traditional bombers are expensive, carry high risks for pilots, and have high political costs; whereas "Jiutian" has low costs, can be operated without personnel, and incurs no casualties in combat, making long-range strikes more "affordable"; at the same time, it does not rely on forward bases and can launch strikes from the homeland, greatly reducing overseas deployment pressures.\nThe maiden flight of "Jiutian" is not only a victory for China's aviation industry, but also the best response to the historical lesson that "being backward means being beaten". A hundred years ago, we couldn't even produce a single airplane; today, China has already stood at the high ground of the next war.\nWe often say "peace is hard-earned", but peace has never been begged for; it is achieved through strength, fought for inch by inch.
