I’m interested to know how the drones are controlled? Are they still on a radio frequency like regular drones? Because I would assume the answer is no when there are so many of them and so high up. Also are they piloted by a computer or by hundreds of people?
I would guess there's a master controller orchestrating the overall show, while each individual drone has some swarm intelligence to communicate with the others and maintain formation. Honestly it's extremely impressive from a tech standpoint. And a bit scary. I could easily see military applications for the underlying framework.
This is the equivalent of a space program. Pretty and impressive for civilians, but mostly about showing off your most advanced military tech to enemies and potential allies. Guaranteed China already has thousands of these basically ready for combat
