China demos insect-sized microdrone prototype for recon/special tasks

The post describes PLA-linked R&D demonstrations of an insect-like microdrone (~2 cm) and another four-wing prototype controllable via smartphone, aimed at reconnaissance and special missions. The novelty is extreme miniaturization for reduced detectability, though it is presented as a lab prototype with no evidence of mass production or battlefield deployment.
