China has unveiled a micro-drone the size of a mosquito
The device weighs less than 0.3 grams and imitates insect flight — its wings beat up to 500 times per second. It can carry miniature sensors for reconnaissance and surveillance.
In theory, such devices could be used for covert information gathering in cities and inside buildings — places where conventional drones cannot operate. They are almost invisible to the naked eye and difficult to detect.
The downsides are also obvious: extremely short battery life due to its tiny size and high sensitivity to wind.
