India has too many problems to catalogue in one sitting. But one of its
biggest problems is China itself. Since the fifties, China has followed a
policy of intimidating, containing and destablising India. Hence the attack

Pakistan (through money, arms and support in the UN for which Pakistan ceded
to it parts of Kashmir), fomenting of armed, Maoist uprisings in eastern
India, threats and a... 阅读全帖 |

外媒称，近年来呈现在公众面前的一系列微型无人机或微型空中飞行工具(MAV)，
都是依据飞行昆虫的物理原理打造出来的。
据英国《每日邮报》网站报道，2007年，有报道称，反战示威活动上空盘旋着一群
怪诞的飞行物，这招致对美国政府涉嫌秘密研发机器人昆虫间谍机的指责。官方的否认
以及昆虫学家有关它们实际是蜻蜓的说法，都未能平息人们的猜测。
接下来的一年，美国空军揭开了昆虫大小间谍飞机的神秘面纱，声称它们“微小如

美国空军还披露了一款无人机，称它为“致命迷你无人机”，是依据达芬奇“扑翼
