I completely agree - definitely the way of the future
This is actually fascinating, because these medium sized drone transport are driven by civilian and consumer logistics need rather than defence, which means they're revenue generating and self sustainable, and given the size of China's economy, required in very high numbers.

Having an enormous fleet of economically sustainable, relatively short takeoff, long range and unmanned, i.e. not limited by pilot availiability cargo fleet, at PLA disposal, means having a level of wartime logistic thats borderline unthinkable for militaries that depends on dedicated military transports with multiple highly trained human pilots

Drone operators at the recent Sino-Thai joint anti-terrorism exercise Strike-2024. I haven't seen these goggles before.
