China studying Ukraine war to develop counter-FPV, airbase hardening and directed-energy EW

Published 27 October 2026

Chinese military analysts are examining the Russia-Ukraine war with specific focus on FPV drones, maritime UAVs, and airfield vulnerability to swarm attacks. Ukraine’s Operation Pavutina on 1 June 2025 — which demonstrated how a surprise drone strike could devastate parked aircraft — is cited as a key reference point. In response, Beijing is reportedly advancing drone detection systems, electronic warfare, laser weapons, and microwave-energy systems to harden military bases and warships against similar threats.
