China testing high-tech drones that can create rain
Story 3
China is testing a new method to help relieve shortage of water in the dry Xinjiang region by using drones for cloud seeding.
Cloud seeding involves spreading substances in the sky to encourage rain.
This marks the first time such technology is being used in the area with the TB-A drone.
These tests are part of a larger plan to scale weather control across the country by late 2025, aiming to support agriculture.
