A tiny insect-like drone suitable for surveillance and reconnaissance missions is being developed by Chinese military scientists.
The tiny device has flapping wings and wire-like legs.
Their size would allow them to access virtually any space and blend into all sorts of environments undetected.
The drone showcased on the Chinese government’s CCTV7 network during a feature about the work of the country’s National University of Defence Technology
It measures just 1.3 cm from tip to tail and can be controlled with a smartphone.
The leaf-like wings mean it is quiet.
A prototype was shown taking off from a leaf.
A spokesman said the drone is nearly impossible to detect and can perform a variety of functions, from accessing hard-to-reach spaces in case of disasters, to monitoring the air quality with attached sensors.
Their reduced size means that currently battery life is severely limited, as is the weight of sensors and other accessories it could carry on missions.
