Only thing this seems useful for is delivering medical supplies/humanitarian aid. How exactly is it supposed to land though??

If it's reusable I assume it must land like falcon rockets and then take off again. Seems like you'd special landing pads where these would land and then ship stuff out from there by conventional means.

Instead of sending aid that looks like aid to Palestine and “Israel” pretending it’s actually weapons, China should just make their aid look like missiles but actually go through.
