China Has a Military Vehicle That Launches Drones

Being one of the world’s big superpowers, China is always building up its military might. One of their many dangerous toys is this armored vehicle from Beijing Zhongzi Yanjing Auto Co. Ltd. It looks like a Humvee of sorts, but this vehicle is deadly.

Imagine this bad boy just cruising along like a regular military personnel transporter, until a bunch of launch tubes pop out of the roof. Oh sh*t! It has 12 pneumatic launch tubes capable of launching drones into the air to conduct reconnaissance missions, or to carry out “accurate suicide attacks on targets.”

Yeah, this isn’t your run of the mill military vehicle. It is death on wheels. It creates an element of surprise for an enemy. The dozen drones it carries consist of four SULA30 recon drones, which are capable of staying in the air for over an hour and eight two-meter wide SULA89 reconnaissance and attack drones, each capable of holding 4.4 lbs of explosives intended to incapacitate light armored vehicles, destroy field fortifications and kill, kill, kill.


It was recently shown off at the Beijing Civil-Military Integration Expo 2019. Hopefully, they never have to use this thing in wartime, and most definitely not against us.

This Kit Could Help You Survive The First 24h After Society Collapses

Look, we’re going to try to avoid making any sort of political commentary, but it’s also naive to ignore the reality that a huge number of people genuinely believe that a certain elected official in the USA could very well trigger the end of times. Somehow. And while it’s unlikely, if it does happen, you might want to try and be prepared. The First 24 Kit from Taurus International packs a bunch of essential tools that would give you an edge over less prepared neighbours. It contains the following:

– Revolver Taurus Judge (2-4410039T) Customized by Aim Pro Tactical® 1
– Knife Columbia River Knife & Tool Sting® Survival Knife 1
– Flashlight Brite Strike EPLI Flashlight (220 Lumens) 1
– Emergency Signal Brite Strike APALS (White, Green and Red) 3
– Fire Starter Kit Zippo Outdoors Emergency Fire Starter Kit (Orange) 1
– Battery Caddy Power Pax Slim Line Caddie (fits 6 AA Batteries ) 1
– Batteries Energizer E92 AA Batteries 6
– Compass 20 mm Spherical Survival Compass 1
– Paracord 550 Survival Paracord Bundle 1
– Case SKB Waterproof/Drop-Proof Survival Case (1209-4 Tan) 1

Of course, the company is hoping their product will never be put through its intended use, considering they’re charging $1,500 for the thing. What’s the point of money when society breaks down?
