Newly Discovered Chinese Military Blimp Spotted in Remote Desert Base.
Exclusive satellite imagery obtained by CNN shows a large blimp developed by the Chinese military at a remote base in northwestern China, signaling a notable advancement in China's airship program. Aerospace experts confirm the blimp's dedicated propulsion and navigation capabilities, allowing it to loiter over an area for an extended period. The blimp's appearance at a Chinese military facility marks a notable transition in Chinese blimp technology and research. China's airship program uses all three types of airships: blimps, aerostats, and free-floating balloons. The purpose of the blimp and the site's construction remains unclear.
