Coastal anti-smuggling patrol network

Coastal cities deployed six ZT-25V aircraft into a shore-radar-plus-drone command chain: radar cues, the aircraft tracks and films, ground units intercept. Another group of coastal cities added five more aircraft for counter-smuggling and counter-infiltration patrols. Over 18 months the fleet flew 972 sorties and 128,304 km, checked 431 vessels including 103 high-risk speedboats, supported three joint enforcement actions and one major cross-border case. A multi-day sea trial included a landing on a vessel making 16 knots.
