The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

All the cameras on site clicked their shutters in quick succession, and all the reporters held their breath, waiting for a reply.

Zhang Jianguo looked steadily at the reporter, his aura calm yet firm, and spoke with conviction: "First of all, the vehicle and drone in the photo are standard civilian drones."

"It is mostly used for field cultivation, mountain freight, aerial photography, and food delivery, and belongs to civilian production materials."

"If a single drone can turn the tide of a local battle."

"Then I would like to ask: Is it that one side's combat forces have significant weaknesses in their combat capabilities, or that the other side simply did not commit its full combat strength?"

Zhang Jianguo solemnly reiterated his position: "I want to clearly reiterate here that we strictly adhere to the principle of neutrality, strictly abide by relevant international treaties, and have never provided military assistance to any party in the conflict."

"If we had actually provided military assistance, the overall situation of the conflict between Russia and Russia would never have remained as it is today."

"Moreover, the cross-border trade of civilian goods conducted by our enterprises is fully compliant with international trade regulations and is beyond reproach."

"Thanks!"

……

at this time.

China National Intelligent Equipment Research Institute.

Sitting at the head of the conference room was Chen Jingshan, the director of the research institute. He was a graduate of the military engineering program at Northwestern Polytechnical University and served in the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in his early years.

He has participated in the development of many domestically produced large military drones and has personally experienced several instances of being held back by foreign equipment.

With a calm and shrewd personality, meticulous thinking, conservative and stable approach to work, a strong sense of the big picture, and extreme sensitivity to technical shortcomings, he never makes empty promises but only focuses on practical results. He is a leading figure in the domestic drone industry.

Chen Jingshan: "The higher authorities have just issued a special order to launch a new generation of small military suicide drone research and development project, based on the actual combat cases of the Big Mao and Little Mao drones."

"According to the above requirements: this drone should not be high-tech or have an exorbitant price tag."

"The core message can be summed up in just four words: high quality at a low price."

Modern warfare is essentially a high-intensity war of attrition.

Large reconnaissance and strike drones are powerful, but they are expensive and have long production cycles, making it impossible to mass-produce them.

However, small individual soldier drones are different. They are inexpensive, easy to mass-produce, and easy to deploy. They can be used for reconnaissance, armor penetration, and individual suicide attacks, and can serve as battlefield consumables on a large scale.

"We are now facing a dead end that we cannot get around."

"At present, all small civilian and lightweight military drones in the world have the same problem: extremely poor resistance to electromagnetic interference."

"Once the enemy activates high-power electromagnetic interference equipment, the signal will be directly interrupted, GPS will fail, drones will crash on the spot, and even the target will be unable to get close."

"In addition, the small fuselage has a large radar cross-section, making it extremely easy to be detected and captured by radar, and its stealth capability is almost zero."

"There is only one purpose in gathering everyone here today."

Chen Jingshan's eyes sharpened: "Solve the two major challenges of electromagnetic interference resistance and enhanced low-altitude stealth for small drones, with no limit on solutions or cost plans."

"Everyone...speak freely."

At this moment, a young technician named Su Zhe pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said bluntly, "Director, if I may be so bold, with the current level of industrial development, this demand itself is contradictory."

"Small drones have extremely limited space, and their internal structure has been compressed to the extreme. There is simply no extra space to accommodate military-grade anti-jamming modules or encrypted communication chips."

"To improve anti-jamming capabilities while maintaining low-altitude stealth performance, it is necessary to apply special radar-absorbing stealth materials and replace them with dedicated anti-jamming communication components."

"However, once specialized stealth-absorbing materials and military-grade anti-jamming accessories are used, the manufacturing cost of a single unit increases more than tenfold."

"This... completely contradicts the superior's original research and development goal of 'low cost and consumable'."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too at this stage."

Su Zhe's words dispelled everyone's concerns, and many technicians nodded in agreement.

This is a common problem in the global defense industry, and the three parties—China, the United States, and Russia—have yet to find a perfect solution.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lu Zhou, who was in charge of intelligence gathering and foreign military equipment analysis in the back row of the conference room, played a projector and said, "Director, senior colleagues, please take a look at this video first."

"What is this?"

"The latest combat footage from the front lines in Russia was just synced to our intelligence database half an hour ago."

The scene depicts a battlefield filled with smoke and fire.

The Ermao position activated multiple high-power vehicle-mounted electromagnetic jammers in advance, covering the entire combat airspace and maximizing the frequency band blocking range.

Based on past experience, all civilian and ordinary military drones in this area would immediately lose contact and crash.

Several palm-sized, small suicide drones flew low over the interference airspace, maintaining a stable signal throughout and remaining completely unaffected by electromagnetic equipment.

The drone precisely locked onto the armored vehicle behind the bunker, swooped down and crashed into it, and flames shot into the sky in an instant.

The heavy armored vehicle was dented by the blast, completely rendering it incapable of combat.

In addition, in the second segment of the video, the same small drone nimbly traversed the trenches, like a persistent leech, chasing and precisely striking the fleeing soldiers, ignoring the signal jamming and trapping equipment of the ground infantry.

Upon seeing this scene, the entire conference room fell silent instantly.

Has Da Mao mastered the technology of small drones?
