"Built by the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the Jiu Tian drone has a wingspan of 82 feet and runs on a turbofan engine, China Central Television said in a Saturday broadcast."
"With a maximum payload of six tons, it can carry up to 100 small UAVs, including loitering drones—shown in a computer-animated promotional video pouring out of the plane like bees from a hive"

The new drone motherships have new strike capacities. The air and sea drones can carry kamikaze drones. Those systems are under development. And maybe they are already in use in China, in Western countries, and in Ukraine. Chinese flying drone motherships cause questions about topics like. Should Western nations be worried about those drones and sub-drones? The Chinese airborne drone can carry 100 sub-drones. Those large and probably quite slow drones can be good targets for Western fighters.
It's possible that this large-size Chinese drone is only a demonstrator, a prototype. China used to test and demonstrate this technology. New systems like manned, or unmanned stealth bombers and fighters can deliver drones to the battlefield. Those drones can be packed in the cluster bomb units that allow them to drop them from high-speed flight. Basically, those drone delivery systems can be shot through the atmosphere using a ballistic missile.
The independently operating drone swarms can operate the same way. Without depending on their transportation method.
Developers can install drones even on satellites. And then the delivery capsule with a heat shield and parachutes slows those capsules that release drones into the atmosphere. These kinds of systems are the deadliest things that we can imagine.
The manned and unmanned submarines, other manned and unmanned speedboats, and unmanned surface vessels (USVs)can carry kamikaze drone launchers. Those systems can threaten multiple targets at a long distance from the water. Drone launchers can be used in large-size warships to protect them against enemies. Drones might have more than just attack roles in the world of the military. Drone swarms can protect military- and other targets.
The surveillance drone can patrol over the harbor when it sees a threat like attacking large-size kamikaze-drone boats it sends killer drones airborne. The drone swarms might not operate only surface and airborne. Those systems can make the idea of flying submarines real. A large number of small submerged drones can make multiple small holes in the ships and submarine hulls. Those drones can also hit targets in dry lands. And they can damage the ship's radars and other systems.
