Can anyone ID this drone? I've never seen this variant before. It's choke full of antennas and flank sensors.

That's a BZK-006A radar jamming variant.

You can identify this prolific class by their characteristic sled landing gear, and the dish shaped comm antennae.

No, I think that's a new variant of BZK-008 (aka CH-91). I was asking for this new variant's specific designation.

Thanks! So many impactful developments the last few days.

I’m reminded of the piece I read recently about how the PLAAF and PLAN will have more jointness by having drones accompany naval task groups from now on basically, I didn’t know how those drones would be refueled, because even the longest flying drones is a week.

I’m still not sure how it will work, but this is a great development. If the refueling drone can be vertically launched they could be organic to ships.
