The Meteor-260 (流星-260) high-altitude, high-speed unmanned test vehicle. It's modular in design and, depending on test requirements, its engines, intake, and mission payloads can be swapped out. It's basically a flying platform used to verify new subsystems and technologies such as stealth coatings, propulsion systems, seekers, etc. It can also be used to test AI algorithms for drone swarms and manned-unmanned cooperative combat.

You guys remember this? It was one of several commemorative trinkets seen several years ago. I think it depicts the newly unveiled CS-5000T.
Another commemorative trinket of CS-5000T. This one has more details.

One more image of the Meteor-260 unmanned technology verification and test vehicle. This is a pretty big deal.
