Yes. If I recall correctly, the FH-95 UAV shown at Zhuhai last year was an EW variant. I'm dead certain China is working on more EW drones for different scenarios. It's inconceivable otherwise.
" A drone operator of an certain synthetic brigade of the Southern Theater Command. The UAV appears to be Blowfish A2, albeit with some minor differences in the landing gear."
Is this already in operational service? because the Mengshi launching vehicle doesn't have any markings like a serial number or a red star on the side of the vehicle.

Minor correction
“南疆军区某合成团” should be one of the CARgts from Southern Xinjiang MD

Good catch. I don’t know. It might be an experimental/trial setup.
I don't think having markings or not is related to being in service. Here are some photos from the Sino-Russo joint exercise in 2021.
No marking or serial number, nor PLA insignia.
No serial numbers, and tiny insignia.
Considering the trend of low observatory marking, I imagine they would later change the insignia to grey or remove it all together. After all what is the point of having an insignia in the battle field. I even question the necessity of having any serial numbers painted. In the smoke of the battle field and bushes and terrain, one can hardly see the chassis let alone the marking. An electrical map would show the position of every vehicle.

Now we know WZ 7 was in service
It has long range and can cover most of SEA and West pacific easily

these drone carriers are long-overdue. they are so useful as an organic battlefield surveillance and recon unit. and they don't even have to be as big as this one. after the war in ukraine I am sure these drones will soon become standard equipment in any battalion sized unit.A drone operator of an certain synthetic brigade of the Southern Theater Command.

There's no lack of drones for recon in a Combined Arm Brigade.
From various reports, there are at least four different types of drones in a recon batallion's inventory.
This drone was chosen most likely for it's performance in tough weather like the weather you get at high altitude plateau where this Regiment is deployed in.
