Seems like Cloud Shadow has weapons capability, as well (but why not an internal bay?)

It is really violent. The designation of the missile at the left-bottom corner begins with "YJ". Anti-ship?

Someone in that thread says that there are two variants, single engine (shown here) for export, twin engine for PLA.

YJ-9E (TL-10 Sky Dragon) small ASM 18km
Weird thing, looks like mini Global Hawk but definitely wants to take Avenger's job.

Looks like stand-off weapons platform.

This one is not for loitering against insurgents but as launch platform or prompt strike then bug out.

nice looking station.

I imagine it could be adapted for use in a naval ship for the ship's combat system without too much trouble.

I agree.

I don't know if we have reached the same conclusion from same reasoning. My reasoning for that is the one crew station instead of two. I am not sure about Chinese UAVs like CHs or Wingloongs, but I saw the two crew station of Reaper in the movie "Eye in the Sky".
