Wow they need to be tied down, they can be blown overboard. Nice to see a bunch of them on deck,could be interesting to scout neighboring islands.

This is perfect. I would've expected their VTOL drones to look more like helicopters than fixed wing drones. The caption says that it's used to command ASW. That would be an interesting usage. I don't know what the range/loiter time of something this small would be. A persistent issue for shipborne ASW is just having to cover such a large open sea area. Having a whole lot of VTOL drones that can help with ASW might be something that can help with that. Also given the size of this thing, you could potentially carry 1 Z-20F along with numerous VTOL drones on a 055.
Of course, something this size could potentially have a lot of other applications also.
As I understand, every Windows update that is to be released to Windows released/sold/installed within China must be source-code checked by Chinese agency and compiled inside China under the supervision of the Chinese agency. So there is no security risk of using Windows through official channel. There is a JV (CMIT) established by Microsoft and CETGC for providing Chinese government with Windows.
Microsoft get money in licenses in exchange for basically doing nothing. CTEC are the ones doing the actual work.Why Microsoft wants to do that, is the market for Chinese govt is huge ?

Same deal they used to do in Japan with ASCII Corporation. Also one reason why Japanese software and PCs never went anywhere.
Operating systems create massive network effects which then you can leverage into selling even more software. Like MS did with Office.
At one point Lotus and Wordperfect were major companies. Excel and Word basically killed both. Lotus 123 basically died because Microsoft rewrote Excel for Windows 95 before anyone else had access to the documentation of the Win32 APIs they made for it. They probably had a year advantage to anyone else in writing software for Windows 95. When Windows 95 came out, Office 95 also came out for it the same day. People bought both. Once you had a software package you wouldn't easily change. Not after you spent a year or two creating documents in Office, which then Lotus 1 2 3 or Wordperfect couldn't open. Then once the competition starts to catch up you launch Office 97 and everything repeats again.
iOS and Windows and Android are cancers in order from worst to less bad.
Unmanned helicopter carried by stealth three-body unmanned ship, interesting scheme

So, it time to enter new era of sea warfare? What name for it? Loyal sailman? Source don't mention it armament! With 300 tons but don't need carry sailman i expect a lot of empty space and weight to carry armament instead.
Does that mean I can get sued fromBlech. There is nothing to learn from Windows code. If you know anything about copyright law, the mere fact of having read someone else's code mean you risk being sued for infringement if you write a competing product afterwards. You are basically tainted.
UCAV over the sea can find targets way easier than over land... Identifying ennemy ship is easier than differentiate MBT hiding in the wood. ECM and air defence will need to be good to deter from terminal guidance designator. A couple of tealth ship layering stealth UAV can become true force multiplier.So, it time to enter new era of sea warfare? What name for it? Loyal sailman? Source don't mention it armament!
