Or it's just a ventral weapons bay, where the main hinge and doors extend to the side.
Either way it's a line for weapons bay
This could be well and good for the new drones but the GJ-11 looks like a mockup. It's so... devoid of rivets and panels. Also the GJ-11 (or GJ-21) shown in the parade does not have any moving flaps. The other drones shown do have moving flaps and other control surfaces.
GJ-11 appears distinct like a whole piece fibreglass rather than actual drone.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I was looking at not these specific airframes, but specifically the naval VTOL drone, and it looked way too detailed in my opinion to be a mock-up. It looks like the actual real and working airframe. I could be wrong though.
The left one (in same row) is a bit of an enigma. It's quite flat to be sensor drone, and there is no discernable iwb.
Given Chinese advancements in drones, a bit surprised that they didn't include any unmanned aircraft in the flying display. Their ground-based tracked drones were also carried by trucks. Would have been cool if they'd had those guys at least driving along autonomously.
I think, without going out on a limb, this statement is almost definitely false! At least the smaller drones and the GJ-11J/-21 aren't real...
