00:00Are you seeing what I'm seeing right now?
00:01This is China's brand new mosquito-sized spy drone
00:04that has the possibility to change covert warfare forever.
00:08Because this thing is only two centimeters long,
00:10weighs 0.3 grams,
00:12and has two tiny wings that flap 500 times per second.
00:16Its size makes it almost undetectable
00:18by conventional radar systems,
00:20and is so small that your brain
00:22probably wouldn't even notice it
00:24if it was in the same room as you.
00:25A student at China's National University
00:27of Defense Technology says that
00:29miniature bionic robots like this one
00:31are especially suited to information reconnaissance
00:34and special missions on the battlefield.
00:37But it is important to remember
00:38that this is only a prototype
00:40and still suffers from extremely limited power,
00:43and at this stage can be completely destabilized
00:46by even just a small gust of wind.
