WING LOONG 2 AVEC L'ARMÉE ALGÉRIENNE

Both are gonna to be important for the foreseeable future. A.I will eventually take over, but it might take another couple of decades. Meanwhile developing a game and getting a bunch of people really good at it will only take 2-5 years.

Besides, having fully autonomous A.I swarm UAV is a bit of a bad PR move, even if China does develop something like that, it's likely that no nation will want to actually reveal it or actually deploy it outside of total war.

The necessary AI is basically already available off the shelf in China. Some minor soft updates, some hardware changes to add a small explosive payload and range. Package a swarm in a reusable UAV dispenser and you can erase entire enemy platoons wholesale.
