It did say those are the WingLoong's launch weapons, so it's possible GJ-1 may use different ones. Still that's an impressive array of options.

Sorry, or maybe I misunderstood Your post: Isn't the GJ-1 not simply the PLAAF's WingLoong version ?

The CH-5 UCAV is believed to have made its maiden flight.

It allegedly has a 30+ hour endurance, a payload exceeding 900 kilograms, and a MTOW exceeding 3 tons.

According to CCTV CH-5 first flight was around 20 minutes, happened a few days ago. It is a further development based on CH-4, has more hard points and has 2.5 times payload.

Small countries or group can't afford CH-5. They seem to all use cheap civilian drones. Look at the X-8 UAV used by ISIS and shot down by Iraqi few days ago. It's $2,700 from Alibaba. Max Endurance is 35-50 minutes, Radio Transfer Distance 10-15 miles, Working Altitude 1000m.
