New Chinese drone confirms Gen Z’s viral theory that birds don’t exist

Gen Z is going to love this… China is showing off a new military drone that looks like a falcon, adding another layer to a popular conspiracy theory about the legitimacy of birds.

A video from a recent Chinese military exercise shows the People’s Liberation Army deploying a falcon-shaped drone… and the UAV flaps and flies like a bird. It’s incredible!

Watch this video… a cloaked PLA fighter jet emerges from a body of water with the UAV in hand, and begins flapping its wings before the person launches it into the air.

As soon as the drone leaves the frame, the PLA video jumps to a bird-shaped drone high in the sky… but it looks like the cloud cover is different here, so don’t give the Chinese too much credit… in other words, take this with a grain of salt.

The video cuts out again… and the drone is seen flying over the horizon… on a sunny day. So there are some concerns about the continuity of the Chinese media footage.

Anyway… the PLA calls this cute little device the “Little Falcon” and it was created for its marines. China says the drone is designed for surveillance and reconnaissance… as well as missions that require elements of stealth, disguise and maneuverability.

Now, as far as the Gen Z element in all of this… there’s a whole… “Birds aren’t real” movement questioning what the name implies.
