China unveils stealthy 'Mosquito' micro drone

China has unveiled a micro-drone that's literally the size of a mosquito—about 1.3 to 2cm long, with a wingspan of 3cm and weighing just 0.3gm.
Made by the National University of Defense Technology, this tiny gadget was featured in a recent CCTV-7 video.

TL;DR

Can easily slip into tight spaces

Built for silent surveillance and military use, the drone's bionic design lets it move like an actual mosquito, slipping into tight spaces where bigger drones can't go.
With countries like Norway (think "Black Hornet") and the US pushing their own mini-drones, China's new tech shows it's serious about leading the next wave of advanced unmanned systems worldwide.
