Finally! China's Special Forces Do Their Thing. Autonomously.
140 Balochi terrorists die in the world's first, fully autonomous, fully networked military operation.

The incident used new military equipment to devastate US-funded Balochi terrorists who have killed hundreds of Chinese civilians since construction of strategic Gwadar Port began.
The terrorists’ knowledge of Balochistan’s bleak, mountainous terrain and their access to US satellite data made them almost invulnerable to PA special forces.
After years of development and training, the PA and PLA developed techniques that put the PA in charge of an entire kill chain. Briefly (the details are secret), it involved Beidou–vastly superior to GPS–giant, AI-equipped drones with powerful, remote sensors, drone motherships like the one at the top of this story and low-flying surveillance and explosive drones that dropped China’s latest weapon, a non-nuclear hydrogen-based bomb, producing a fireball that burns for over two seconds – 15 times longer than a comparable TNT blast.
Paws on the ground
It is a truism that wars are not won by air power. Only ‘boots on the ground’ can consolidate victory. Instead of risking human lives, the operation employed drone ‘dogs’ carrying AI-aimed weapons to kill the terrorists in their lairs.
All the autonomous units, from low earth orbit to the drone dogs were fully networked and their attacks coordinated to a degree impossible with humans, while the PA inserted themselves in the chain as necessary. Suffice to say that the Balochistan Liberation Army has not been heard of since then and the PA now operates the surveillance system 24x7.
Why this matters
The Pakistan Air Force’s use of Chinese aircraft and missiles to devastate the Indian Air Force, combined with that country’s indigenous nuclear weapons explains much of the astonishing turnaround of the region’s defensive realignment. After all, Saudi Arabia, like most MENA countries, has terrorists, too.
