China has allegedly surpassed the United States in developing next-generation stealth drone technology, according to a report from the South China Morning Post (SCMP). A newly published paper claims Beijing has moved beyond the concept phase and is already testing advanced stealth drones in real-world conditions, while similar US technology remains in development. China’s innovative drones, called dual synthetic jets (DSJ), eliminate traditional control surfaces such as flaps and tail fins that typically create radar reflections and thermal signatures. Instead,

Two decades ago, the U.S. Navy had 282 battle-force ships against the Chinese navy’s 220, but by the mid-2010s, this advantage had disappeared. Today, Chinese ships outnumber those of the U.S. Navy 400 to 295. If the United States’ shipbuilding pace remains unchanged, this so-called ship gap will only continue to grow. Quality
