    Why is there flags all over? Is this a demo?

    Just imagining a real life scenario where they can’t rescue anyone until there’s 50 Chinese flags planted on board and at the rescue zone…

      No this was very real. Due to the typhoon this part of China was flooded.

      It’s also no flags on the drone shot and then a flag – a soviet flag – on the pontoon shot. Something is fishy.

      What a bizarre nitpick. Do you mean the one flag on board at launch?

      Or the safety flags used during launch?

      Or the flags at the drop-off point that would in no way slow down the rescue?

        Not really a nitpick… Just a question on whether it was a genuine video or if they were showing off the tech.
