I think this is the export variant.

I am not sure about that. As I gather, the twin engine variant uses turbo-fan engines, the single engine variant uses turbo-jet. They have different performance. The former has longer endurance, the later flys faster, both are desirable.

As for export, the two does not have differences in political impact. So IMO, they are either both allowed to be exported, or not at all.

Some high-resolution images and screen grabs of the WingLoong-10 (twin engine variant)...

So to state the obvious, this particular airframe doesn't have an optical sensor installed (yet?). But it does have something that resembles covers for side looking radars?

Would be interesting to know if the twin engine variant of WingLoong-10 could cruise with only one engine. It could save some fuel to have longer loitering. We will probably never know...
