Chinese Colossal Super Drone is Ready to Rule the Pacific

The WZ-7 Soaring Dragon has entered the stage as the United States and China are hurtling towards an inevitable showdown in the Pacific, bringing their most advanced hardware into the fray. On April 11, 2024, during Exercise Salaknib 24, the United States flexed its strategic muscles by deploying the 1st Multi-Domain Task Force’s Mid-Range Capability, known as the MRC Typhoon missile system, to Northern Luzon in the Philippines.
This devastating arsenal, equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6 multipurpose missiles, is primed to deliver a devastating counterstrike if tensions escalate into hostilities.
Not to be overshadowed, China has unleashed its own cutting-edge weapon: the People’s Liberation Army’s WZ-7 Soaring Dragon. This behemoth super drone now looms over the Philippine waters, threatening American naval operations and closely monitoring every move made by U.S. and Filipino forces.
Designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance with remarkable endurance, the Soaring Dragon is poised to be the all-seeing eye in China’s expansionist playbook. Its capability to track U.S. warships for prolonged durations grants Chinese naval groups a crucial advantage in battlespace awareness, intensifying the already high stakes in the region.
With these volatile forces in play, even a minor miscalculation could spark World War 3 in the Pacific. The stakes are sky-high as both superpowers dig in their heels, with the United States racing to gather crucial intelligence on this powerful Chinese drone.

These Chinese artificial islands are extremely venerable as they are too small to present any significant threat to the area and they are just stationary targets for multiple allied types of munitions. Damage the runways and the aircraft are useless. The allies have weapons that can neutralize China's radars and air defense systems by both jamming and kinetic weapons. Once the artificial islands are neutralized, the South China Sea is free in which the allies can operate. They remind me of the island of Corregidor in the Philippines during WW II. It was an island fortress, but could not withstand the Japanese isolation of it and bombardment until it had to surrender. In 2021 the devastation of the Chinese islands will be done within days instead of months. And as for the other scary Chinese forces, they have serious internal problems such as poor design and construction, corruption, an on going purge of leadership, and propaganda fueled of their actual capabilities. I served 3 years in combat in a 21 year in the US Marine Corps. I learned never to underestimate your enemy and never over estimate your own capabilities. I believe that the US has learned that lesson and that we have in place many defensive and offensive capabilities that our enemies are not fully aware of. If true, then they have no effective defense or offense. Between 2000 and 2015 I was an independent consultant for some of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) programs. I have no doubt that China, Russia, and others are trying to breach those programs and they will be successful on many of the ones that will not be transitioned to the military because they are just pure unclassified research programs that DARPA doesn't care if they are published in white papers because they are unclassified. The real classified DARPA programs are mostly black and included billions of dollars and advanced research far beyond what is publicly admitted. There are so many of these research programs that enemies have little idea which will be matured. On one of the DARPA programs I participated on involved research in finding and neutralizing what are called Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). It would take volumes to describe them and how difficult they are to counter, but you can do an internet search of APT's and get a very good idea just how hard they are to find and neutralize. I left that program before there were any results, but I can tell you it is an extremely difficult problem to resolve. I leave you with this without revealing any classified information. APT's are a very serious threat in both our commercial infrastructures and classified networks, and are incredibly hard to find and eliminate. This is directly related to these islands in my opinion but I don't know if the technology has matured to that point or if it ever will.

[@homeslipper]

The US military shows the tech that is 15 years old as to avoid tipping their hand. Remote viewing, The Monroe Institute. How does that work? Is it like string theory where everything is connected at the subatomic level? My Father had a similar career in the NSG as a CT, linguist. Retired in 78'.
