STRIKE-AND-SURVEILLANCE FORCE: This Twin-Fuselage Beast Was Built to Hunt F-22s and F-35s

Apr 21, 2025

  

For more than a decade, the Divine Eagle barely existed in the public eye. 

Then, in late 2024, a strange drone appeared in the skies over the South China Sea: twin-fuselaged, jet-powered, and larger than life. 

  • Built by the same company behind China's stealth fighters and next-gen bombers, the Divine Eagle drone quickly turned heads. 
  • Its profile drew immediate comparisons to the American RQ-4 Global Hawk and even an abandoned Russian design known as the S-62, a never-flown high-altitude platform. 

But the Divine Eagle wasn’t just another knockoff. 

It was bigger, weirder, and clearly built for more than passive surveillance.
