A large drone was observed near the border with Papua New Guinea as Chinese warships passed nearby, according to ABC News. Last week, I shared a post regarding the Chinese Navy’s fleet circling Australia and the likelihood of drone sightings. However, that post was removed after the government attributed the disruption in commercial air traffic around the naval group to live-fire exercises.
It now seems that the fleet was, in fact, deploying drones that bear a striking similarity to those spotted in the US and UK in recent months.
It’s definitely concerning to see these developments near our borders, especially with the increased military activity from the Chinese Navy. The presence of a large drone raises questions about surveillance and security. If these drones are indeed similar to those reported in the US and UK, it might suggest a broader pattern of military capability expansion. It’s important for governments to be transparent about such activities and for us as citizens to stay informed. How do you think this situation could impact regional security dynamics?
