Mercenaries from Russian paramilitary organisation Wagner Group are reportedly secretly developing "swarm drones" in an arms deal with Chinese spies. The explosive-tipped and bomb-dropping drones from China would be deployed in large numbers with the ability to devastate multiple targets of civilians or troops.
The project has been involved in secretive meetings between Chinese cyber experts, the Wagner Group and spies from both countries, the Mirror reports. The developments contradict Beijing's claims that it is not involved in the Ukraine war, which is gradually becoming a conflict between the west and east.
Over 2,500 helicopter-style DJI Mavic2 drones were transported from Beijing to Moscow in a deal between Wagner officers, Moscow and Beijing. The drone plans emerged amid Ukrainian forces arriving in the UK to undergo intensive training in how to operate Challenger II tanks.
