China Blowfish A3 Weapon Drone
US Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper released a statement claiming that China is manufacturing and selling weaponized drones to the Middle East, while it prepares to export its next generation stealth UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles]. Chinese weapons manufacturers are also selling drones advertised as capable of full autonomy, including the capability of conducting lethal targeted strikes.

These drones include the Blowfish A3 by Guangdong-based Zhuhai Ziyan, which are known for their intelligent swarming attack technology that enables as many as 10 unmanned helicopter drones to autonomously attack. At the push of a button, the drones can autonomously take off, all the while avoiding colliding in mid-air and then finding their way to their designated target. Once an attack order is transmitted, they will engage the target autonomously in a coordinated manner. When the mission is completed, the system will automatically lead the drones back to base for them to land safely.
