Satellite images have shown two giant Chinese stealth drones at a secret air base for testing in the Malan region, revealed the website The War Zone.
The aircraft were first identified last year by TWZ, using satellite images provided by Planet Labs. At the time, it was already known that the drones in question were at the center of the modernization efforts of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
However, in the latest images, it is possible to see them outside their hangars simultaneously for the first time. Other mysterious aircraft also appeared at the facility, which is clearly configured specifically to run multiple testing programs within its high-security perimeter at any given time.
Although we do not know much information about the drones at the moment, it is possible to conclude that, overall, the image taken on March 26, 2026, highlights the major increase in advanced drone testing activity at the facility.
