Sources told the South China Morning Post that more than 30 military and government agencies have deployed the birdlike drones and related devices in at least five provinces in recent years.

...Unlike unmanned aerial vehicles with fixed wings or rotor blades, the new drones actually mimic the flapping action of a bird’s wings to climb, dive and turn in the air.

Another researcher involved in the Dove project said the aim was to develop a new generation of drones with biologically inspired engineering that could evade human detection and even radar.

I use a clock radio with pretty good micro-cam and a 128 gb card in it.

If that thing was flying 20 ft above your head, I doubt you would pay it enough attention to even decide if it's real or fake.

As long as it isn't flying erratically or making a loud noise, this thing could fly directly next to you and you wouldn't think anything of it.

The AI falcon at the end of the video is a practical application for safety. It drives birds away from airports and lessens the possibility of plane crashes.

meh, watching the video, to me its "close enough" to a real bird to go completely unnoticed.

at least to the point that it just looks like an odd bird if you look very very close at it, and its not odd enough to easily identified as "hey thats a spy drone"

Seeing as they're made in China, they probably are only good for one flight.
