A Chinese state-owned enterprise has apparently developed the world’s first amphibious assault drone for island warfighting.
The Marine Lizard built by a subsidiary of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is equipped with various armaments, can operate on land and at sea, and can carry troops into battle or conduct autonomous unmanned operations, the company claimed on social media.
“In the South China Sea, it can be used to either seize a reef or guard a reef, both offensive and defensive,” a Chinese expert told the South China Morning Post.
