China Achieves Milestone as Attack-21 Stealth Drone Lands on Sichuan Amphibious Assault Ship

In a significant milestone for naval aviation, Chinese state media officially announced that the Attack-21, a new stealth reconnaissance and strike drone, has successfully completed takeoff and landing operations aboard the Sichuan amphibious assault ship. This breakthrough marks the first time China’s naval forces have operated a carrier-based, integrated reconnaissance and combat stealth unmanned aerial vehicle at sea.

Defense analysts and state media outlets, including People’s Daily and observer networks, have hailed the event as a major leap forward in modern naval warfare capabilities. The successful deployment on the Sichuan vessel endows China’s 076-class or similar advanced amphibious platforms with unique, cutting-edge tactical advantages. As global military powers increasingly compete in the development of drone-carrying naval vessels, this achievement demonstrates a strengthening of integrated air and sea support systems for future amphibious operations.
