Chinese military have a large blimp which could move at higher altitudes and collect more data than a satellite

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • Exclusive: Never-before-seen Chinese military blimp caught on satellite images of remote desert base
  • A large blimp developed by the Chinese military has been spotted for the first time at a remote base in the desert of northwestern China, exclusive new satellite imagery obtained by CNN shows.
  • Aerospace experts say the images were taken three months before a Chinese spy balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina
  • Oklahoma Aerospace Institute executive director Jamey Jacobs said a blimp like this could be used as a “submarine of the skies,” and that it appears to have dedicated propulsion and navigation capabilities, which would allow it to loiter over an area for an extended period.
  • “It really is the next leap for them in terms of furthering the engineering and support of research funding in that direction,” Jacobs said.
  • According to a 2018 report by the Rand Corporation on the country’s modern warfare strategy, these types of airships are attractive to the Chinese because they’re “less expensive … and provide more-precise intelligence” than satellites, in addition to being “less susceptible to destruction” than planes.
  • Although China is not alone in utilizing airships – the US military has used aerostats – this discovery now confirms the PLA program uses all three types of airships: blimps, aerostats and free-floating balloons
  • In 2020, a massive cradle-like device was spotted on the nearly kilometer-long runway. The cradle is so large – roughly 400 feet long and 160 feet wide
