Twin engine, High altitude drone. The piston engine and propellers configured for very high altitude flight seem to be the main technological challenge tackled by this drone.

I think the drone is an MK-400 Tandem Unmanned Helicopter. China tested the MK-400 Tandem Unmanned Helicopter with a maximum payload of 220kg and a maximum lift limit of 6,000 meters in Tibet plateau. Equipped troops can carry out wounded transport, night delivery, ammunition supply and other tasks. I even saw a footage of this posted somewhere at Twitter around mid-Nov but did not keep the link.
