China has started researching ways to turn the country’s advanced military drones into “loyal wingmen” for the country’s most powerful fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, the J-20, state media reported.

Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) alongside piloted planes is a concept outlined by the United States in its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative.
